    I should have read the reviews before coming but it’s not something you think you’d have to do with cliffs. Anyways, like everyone else mentioned most of the rides are closed and no sort of discount is offered. The first ride my family went on was the Log ride. As soon as the log made it to the top it quit working and they had to be walked off the ride. The tilt a whirl, the black and green water tunnels, the train ride and other main rides were closed! Very disappointed when it cost $140 dollars to enter for two adults, two children. Save your money right now and wait for cliffs to get their act together. ETA The Log ride was NOT up and running shortly thereafter. It actually did not open up until almost closing. I know because we kept checking.

    How fun of a place! We paid a little over $100 for a family of three plus food. Totally worth it! The park water park is what made it worth it. Tons of open fun and water slides. I'm not a huge ride person and also not a big fan of waiting 20 minutes in line, for 30 seconds of funm it was so hot and the poor workers looked so tired, but didn't complain. A wonderful area for little kids. Overall kind of like once a year kind of thing, but we still had fun. The good was decently priced and not bad! Try the green Chile cheese fries. Generous portions and pretty good for the price.

    Cliff's is a modest size amusement park which kids of all ages will enjoy. There's an old style wooden roller coaster that will throw you around and take your breath away. There's a log flume ride that has a great drop and sprays water like crazy. My nine year old grandson went on that a second time, though once was enough on the roller coaster! There's a set of water slides and dump buckets that kids of all ages enjoy -- in the summer of course. The food and drinks are tasty and modestly priced. The admission fee isn't terribly high. There's a lot to like at Cliff's!

    It's a small amusement park but we had a lot of fun. My kids enjoyed it so much and so did my husband and I. We road the rides first then afterwards we went to the water park. We bought food and drinks, prices wasn't so bad.

    First for us n we all loved it! Will def come back, the water park part was cool also but we didn't come prepared for it. If planning to visit the water park bring towels n bathing gear.

    Nice easy layout to get to attractions & food vendors. Locker rental available. Rain policy in effect during the monsoon season. Convenient parking. Lots of areas to sit & rest. Cooling fans out & helped with the high temps.

    I went a couple of times with my family, most recently in August 2022. The park has great attractions perfect for little kids and teenagers, as well as adults. Is there are a few different distinct areas in the park, one section is designated for the youngest riders 36" up. There are other rides appropriate for children above 42", 48", and 54". There's also a small water park with a few decent water slides and a huge dump bucket. Definitely worth bringing towels and swimsuits, there are lots of lounging chairs available in the water area. Restrooms were clean. Food is reasonably priced, for an amusement park anyway. We enjoyed the swirly the ice cream. The only negative of the park was that they didn't have enough staff to cover all of the rides at the same time, and they had to switch stuff from some rides to other rides making some of them unavailable for a period of time.

    Great fun with the kiddos. Long line to get in the park right at opening time but was moving at a decent pace. Lines for rides where not too bad. The water park was loads of fun, more so for the littlest kiddos. We stayed from open to close time and barely had time for all the rides. The only con was the NM rattler was having issues with the seat belts/ bars not opening/ releasing the riders and so made wait time much longer. Had many of us doubting if getting on the ride was still a good idea.

    It is an awesome place to bring your kiddos on a hot day. Water slides. Water bucket being dumped on you. A great place for kids of all ages to enjoy themselves.

    Cliff's is a nice little small park in Albuquerque. Their star coaster is the New Mexico Rattler. This is a surprisingly large wooden coaster that delivers lots of thrills. In addition to the New Mexico Rattler, Cliff's has several other coasters, some flat rides, and a water park, log flume, and rapids for the hot summer days. While this park will never be as large as a Six Flags, this is a great stop if you are heading through Albuquerque on your way to Colorado, Arizona, Texas, or Oklahoma.

    My younger kids liked this place much more than Giant places like Disneyland. We try to get here once a year this year was during a 105-degree day the park wasn't too busy probably from the heat! We had a full run of the place. Always love bringing my kids to my childhood happy place.

    We bought are older grandkids passes this year and that's not cheap and today found out as grandparents who can not ride has to pay a full ride pass. No spectators pass because they said inflation. That is pure greed! We are all feeling the pinch but to overcharge is criminal. So ,could not take younger kids in. They can not be left alone. So family fun for all is not happening. Will not support this park anymore. If they thought about it,they still make a lot of money off spectators because of the prices on food ,etc. So sad that greed has taken over. Parking lot not full, wonder why!

    First time of being to cliffs and the experience was well worth the cost. Took the little ones they're 3 years old. They had a blast. I think the favorite was the water park though. Lots of different slides to go down and water sprinklers to play in. Some of the bigger slides there was a little bit of a wait to go down, nothing to bad. Same with the rides, no bad lines except one ride which was the water logs. But everything was worth the wait once your turn came up. Rides were exciting very thrilling. The food was really great those lines were a bit longer than what u had to wait for during rides, but well worth it. Will be going back for sure.

    When we bought our summer passes, they never gave people the pickup times. They say they sent an email, yesterday, Friday, to pick up passes at office, Mon-We’d. Uh, opening day is today!! So now people have to wait in a massive line at the office. No one in this line says they even received an email yesterday!!! And it has been like 2 hours in the line and we haven’t gotten our passes still. They aren’t even prepared. like why did they even open if they weren’t ready. They should have stated when to pick up passes on receipts. Office people have attitude they are doing us a favor for opening office today, on a Saturday. They have our money, they have FAILED to deliver goods, services.

    Entry to the park is about a ten minute wait due to the checking of bags. We bought our tickets in advance and it was a real convenience. The park was very clean and the restrooms were as well. Lines for the popular rides were not very long except for The Flush. The food vendors had a good selection like pizza, burgers, nachos and Chile cheese fries. Fun for the whole family. For those not riding there were plenty of shaded areas to rest. The water park was perfect way for the kids to cool off and have some fun.

    Took my 12 & 18 yr old daughters to Cliffs. They enjoyed the rides especially the water rides. The lines weren’t that long. They rode all day. I got my money’s worth. We also ate & played games. Employees were very nice & helpful.

    Good for a small family day of fun. They didn't have one of the more popular rides open to start the day due to staffing. Food service took a long time to receive order. Water mania was great for cooling off and kept the kids entertained. There was plenty of seating available. It would be easier to participate in games if you didn't need a fun card. Staff were friendly.

    I’m leaving a bad review because Cliff’s no longer gives the spectator pass. Everyone is now required to pay for an all day ride pass and I find this really frustrating. Not everyone wants to ride the rides. Some of us like to take our children and enjoy watching them go on rides or we are just not able to ride on the rides. Due to this and the high cost of a ride ticket, I will not be bringing my family here.

    Between Water Mania and the rides, this was a great way to end summer vacation. Kids had a ton of fun!

  • 5/5 Eduardo H. 7 months ago on Google
    Beautiful experience with my family. We are visiting from San Antonio Texas and we enjoyed every minute.

  • 5/5 timothy n. 10 months ago on Google
    Was a great family experience. The kids had tons of fun. Customer Care is outstanding, although there were a couple attendees with sad faces like they don’t want to be there. The splash pad was amazingly fun. The food was tasty and very reasonably priced. It was easy to get around the park. Will definitely be going back again.

  • 1/5 Lyssa R. 9 months ago on Google
    Getting in was horrible, this guy grabbed my brothers bag off of him and searched him like he had done something. This guy was super rude. No manners. Telling us to get back from my brother. And didn’t tell us why. We already got our tickets but they weren’t letting us through.

    No long lines for the rides, friendly staff and fairly priced amusement park. Good variety of rides and water play for all ages and different types of thrill seekers. Today was my first time visiting the park and I quickly fell in love with the place. We'll be getting season passes next year for sure!

  • 3/5 Me M. 10 months ago on Google
    The park is really fun and the rides are great. However, we were in line for the Rattler ride and it was right after the ride had closed for rain. We were one of the first people in line for the 1st row and we were really excited to have gotten ahead of the line. There were 2 groups on front of us so we assumed we would go on the 3rd run. We were wrong people kept coming in the fast line because they were unable to wait in line. This didn’t bother us until we had been waiting as the first people in line for over 30 minutes. This was a problem because the people running the ride kept putting the fast lane people in the 1st row. How the ride is set up there is 1 line per row so we had to wait much longer than other people. When we brought this to the attention of the ride operators we didn’t even end up in the row we wanted!! This could easily be resolved by just alternating from the fast line people to the people that were waiting in line. What bugs me the most is that the lift operators were not even able to solve the issue when it was brought to their attention!

    Nice place to take kids but can be pricy even just to get in.

  • 4/5 Noah J. 1 year ago on Google
    Although it is a small park, it makes for a good day of amusement park fun, with a solid selection of thrilling rides. Prepare for long queue times, I waited over 2 hours to purchase a cheeseburger on my last visit.

  • 5/5 Darrell G. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a small amusement park and I remember the fun I've had over fifty years. I enjoyed taken my children to cliffs one day I will miss the time's we have enjoyed. New Mexico your lucky to have a nice park..

  • 5/5 Adrianna Lenora L. 1 year ago on Google
    It was really nice my kids love it rides were fun food is a little too much but it is a good park. Only thing is Cliffs really needs to hire more ride operators because Alot of the rides were closed or opened right before closing time. Another GREAT option would to expand the hours until at LEAST 9pm-it would be AWESOME for the kids to see how cool they rides are at night!

  • 3/5 it h. 1 year ago on Google
    Weird money transfer system and all ride and general admission or fairly expensive. 15 just to walk in is too expensive. Rattler was also broken. other rides were fun though.

    We enjoyed our time here. My kids had a great time. There are a lot of rides and activities. We went there the weekend before Halloween so they had a pumpkin patch. We went there as part of family day for work. There are pavilions that can be booked for such events. It was a lot of fun! We will definitely visit again.

    Place is nice hot an as you know a lot of walking watermania was prob the best can stay wet but other than tickets it's pricy but would reccommend

  • 4/5 Emily M. 1 year ago on Google
    I wish this place was opening more often. It sucks that they are only open for certain days out of the week, and aren’t open into the month of September. Otherwise it’s a great place. The rides are fun and a good place to go with friends/family. A little overpriced.
