Shipwreck Island Water Park

Tourist attraction Water park

😐 Comparing this with another waterpark. This one was a bit run down, especially for the price. There are 3 bigger slides, 2 of them require 48" and one is 42". The good thing about this being a bit rundown is that it wasnt super busy, normally there was only a 5-10 minute wait for the slide. The wave... People often mention park, water, slides, kids, staff, great, good, slide, river, time,

    Comparing this with another waterpark. This one was a bit run down, especially for the price. There are 3 bigger slides, 2 of them require 48" and one is 42". The good thing about this being a bit rundown is that it wasnt super busy, normally there was only a 5-10 minute wait for the slide. The wave pool is pretty small in comparison, and not very deep. The floor of it is very rough, which tares up your knees if you are trying to ride the small waves. The kids area is great and so is the lazy river, which has a pretty neat slide into it. My kids did have a blast on the kids slides, there are 3 slower twirly ones which rarely had a wait and then 2 bigger ones. My kids went down the 2 bigger ones probably 50 times. Food is basic, hamburgers hot dogs and pizza. We got a cheeseburger with drink and fries, hot dog with drink and fries, double cheeseburger with drink and fries and chili cheese fries and it was about 54$. Fries were soggy. I saw the pizza and it was pretty soggy too. This place needs to drop the prices about 10$ to make it a deal or invest in the park a bit.

    Loved the little water park. I kind of feel it was a little over priced for what it was. The food was extremely expensive and I’m going to have to say that even though they had “Nathan’s”hotdogs the buns were horribly dry and the chili was awful. Overall though, it was worth it to my grandson. He really enjoyed himself. It was worth it for him.

    The website really takes something from the actual park. The admission line was LONG and whether you purchased tickets online or NOT.YOURE GOING WAIT in the same slow moving line for bracelets to get into the waterpark area. Once inside the jumbo locker $15 but everything fit. The water rides were great for the size of the park. The water park area closes at 7 not 8..they dont advertise this so we were shocked when asked to leave the wave pool. The ride lines were not long, life jackets are first come first served. The food was over priced and had no lids.. No straws etc. But plenty of seating and shaded areas accessible to everyone was awesome. The staff is friendly and visible for teenagers they cannot be coaxed the break the safety rules (AWESOME) i tried everything to get to let me slide with my son she did not budge and was so courteous while doing it. The cost of admission is worth it.. We will return to see the other attractions.

    This place is a lot of fun and adorable. I do recommend going on Groupon to find really good deals that would have a package deal especially for a family of four. You could also do season passes if you think of going much more often. They do offer military discounts so that's a plus. The water was a lot of fun, they laser tag, video games, go carts and miniature golf. So parking is plentiful but it doesn't seem there is a lot of disability parking so go early if you need to. Once you walk towards the front door STOP and look left in the water and see all the gators they are awesome to watch. You can get gator food inside. There are video cameras so don't throw anything in there unless you got it from inside. Once inside go thru the video games to the desk and get your passes even if you got it on line they will verify your purchase. There is also a food court there. Laser tag is on the left when you're inside. Once you have everything going thru more doors turn right to go carts and batting cages, straight ahead is miniature golf and to the left is the water park and must attend. They have water slides for all ages, lazy river and a wading pool. Yes they do have lockers there to rent. The staff is really caring and helpful so go and have fun.

    Had a absolute blast with my daughters . The slides are for all ages and your kids can ride with you one at a time . It's fun for the entire family . The wave pool was fun the girls loved it. Cabana wasn't worth it though because we paid almost 200 and was on sitting in cabana maybe 30 minutes the entire 8 hours we was there . We will be back 😉

    The Family and I have been trying to get to Jax beach for quite some time. We finally got a chance to try Adventure Landing Shipwreck cove. This water park is perfect for little ones with a couple bigger slides for more of a thrill. The younger area has the smaller slides for the toddlers to elementary aged children. I found myself riding these slides with my little one and enjoying them. The park allows the smaller ones to wear life vest or floaters that click on for the slides. The water coaster was pretty fun for the family and children 42” and up!!!! The wave pool goes about every 10 minutes and is not to rough for first timers. As for the two bigger slides there is a bowl slides that’s the equivalent of going down a toilet and a tube slide that is a halfpipe. The park itself was fun for everyone, especially our 5 year old and was a good introduction for her. I would give this park a higher rating but this place seriously needs attention. I watched a lot of carelessness and not a lot of concern for safety from the guards here. The guards were fantastic at making sure each drop was safe but that was the extent, once people went down it wasn’t their problem anymore. I watch multiple times where kids were goof around going down and trying to stand on rafts to trying to stand on the eye of the storm (toilet bowl slide). I also almost stepped in a code brown on the kids area deck, when I let the nearby lifeguard know about the AFR he shrugged and looked the other way. I went and found the supervisor lifeguard and a few others to notify them about the issue and thanked me foR saying something. I have my Certified Pool Operators license and was shocked when the guard didn’t care at all. Adventure Landing needs to teach and train about the seriousness of these issues and help their employees get some positivity here, everyone seems off into another world. The park needs some TLC bad, the rusted valves in plain sight and bracers that are corroded holding certain pipes about your head in the lazy river are an eye sore. Even with these issues we enjoyed this park and will return in the future. Hopefully with returning Guest and Covid letting down the main company and put some love back into this water park.

    The water attractions were great. The staff not so great. Out of the 1000 staff you maybe had 5 good ones. The place is absolutely filthy. Their kitchen is disgusting from what I saw. I watched a staff member dig in the ice container without an ice scoop. That’s against health code. Looks like the managers/owner needs to teach their staff the safe to serve protocols. Only one person working the food counter and the line was very very long. The rest of the staff were walking around clueless on their phones Where is the manager? Never-mind she is just as clueless. The place has potential but what absolute dive.

    We had a great time! Pricey but we got a good deal on Groupon. So many slides to choose from, a good wave pool, arcade room, mini golf we're all fun. More attractions that we didn't get to.

    Fun park. Water slides were great. Go karts were a bit lack luster, but they are not targeted to my age group, so cant fault that. I had a great time. So it was worth it to me. Food was a bit on the pricey side though.

    Nice water park for families. Plenty of things to do. You can play a variety of video games before you enter the water park. The water park itself has many water slides for children, teenagers and adults. The children's section will keep young kids busy throughout the day. The food was good with large portions when you order a platter. We had the chicken strips platter which arrived hot and juice. Will definitely come back again!

    We had a blast. Nice Waterpark. They don't have enough floats. That's my only complaint. Something there for everyone too enjoy.

    So so so much fun! My daughter and had a blast running around and sliding on the slides. Only issue I had was with the restrooms, so disgusting.. and the food counter, I was charged more than what was ordered and when showing the staff members it seems like they didn’t know what to do to fix it and tried to give me money out of their tip jar. Of course I didn’t take it, and it is a shame that they seem to not have a lead/manager to help them.

    Not super crowded but only giving 3 stars because the staff was not willing to help us obtain the double rafts from those not using it for the slide that REQUIRES you to use one. They also had a bunch on the staff side that needed to be inflated t but they didn't bother to do that either. My 7 year Olds and myself waited for over 30 minutes watching several adults taking these rafts from kids and making us wait this long before spending another 15 minutes waiting on a manager to help us then another 15 minutes before anyone bothered to do anything. There were only about 50 ppl in the entire water park this day. Should've never taken that long for 1 water slide

    This place was amazing! I recently went here for the summer and it was awesome. There were waterslides, the water bucket spill thing, a river (not real) I spent my whole time in this river where it brings you around the water park then brings you back to the front where u entered. It's the perimeter of the water park where the river is. There is thie yellow slide I guess and they give you a circle floaty. You go down it and it's a 15 foot drop I think. It's really awesome. This is the perfect place to bring your kids to on summer break or something and on hot days. Overall I LOVE THIS PLACE ☺️

    It's not really worth $45. Only 2 ok sized water rides for adults. The bathrooms are literally the worst Ive ever seen, the smell is unbearable. You will have to find a two seater float to ride one of the rides. I would only recommend for families with children under 8.

    Took my 4 grandchildren aged 11, 9, 6, 4 and they all had a fantastic time! Plenty to do for all ages. Park was very well maintained and staff very friendly. Only complaint was the backup in the kitchen. Took over 20 minutes for a pretzel and then they lost half of our order. But that won't stop us from going back. Love it!!!

    Fun place for the family. I've been here a few times. There is plenty of fun for everyone. My last visit there seemed to be more arcade games in need of repair than usual. The lazer tag park was fun. Batting cages we closed for maintenance. It rained while we were there so we didn't play mini golf or ride go karts.

    Awesome Water Park! My kids(5,6,11) and I really enjoyed our trip here! Not to big.... not to small, just perfect!

  • 5/5 sarah s. 1 year ago on Google
    We went yesterday for the first time and for 29.99 a person was a great deal! The lazy river is large and the wave pool was great! Only compliant is there are long long lines for food yet you aren’t allowed to bring your own food. Lines were over an hour wait! But the waterpark was great! Would come again!

    Went on a weekday with my granddaughter. Overall had a good time. The challenge is when groups bring bus loads of kids. The day we went 3 buses filed with kids made for a tougher day riding slides and trying to avoid the large crowds of aggressive kids doing what kids do.

  • 5/5 Abby 9 months ago on Google
    So fun!!! The slides are super awesome and the workers were fun and nice. Went on July 4th and spent 4 hours there. Only about 4 actual big slides but a lot for little kids.

    Fun for the whole family! It's a summer favorite in the area for a reason. Fun arcade inside with Go-Karts and such, and a huge Waterpark with a wave-pool, flumes, slides, lazy river, etc. Get in before it closes if you can! We just went with the Youth Group again. I heard it has been sold to make more condos but is open a little while longer until September or so, depending on permitting. We had some birthday parties, annual Youth Group summer fun, etc. there. Good memories. Smaller than a Six-Flags, but a day-trip delight and a local favorite. There is not another one like it in the area, especially this location. It will be missed.

    My nieces had a blast and didn't want to leave. I hope Adventure Landing never closes as a Jacksonville staple!

    Great experience, did a reservation for my daughter's birthday party. The staff were helpful especially Monica. Her customer service is phenomenal and always kept a smile on her face no matter how busy it was. She ran it smoothly and had a lot of patience! The park was clean and well kept up! Thank you! definitely will be returning.
