😐 Wasn't that impressed. For the same price, I can get the same fun at the Frontier city rapids ride and get to do all the other rides. Park area is falling apart or simply does not work. The trampoline tower is only for toddler size kids. Very boring place. We made the best of it though. I never talk...

The trampoline tower is only for toddler size kids. Very boring place. We made the best of it though. I never talk Nad about an adventure in front of the kids ever. We had more fun looking at the suff in the Bass Pro shop next door.

    Pump track is amazing! I love that there are multiple areas for me to sit with the baby and play while my boys ride the variety of biking areas. They used to have multiple hammocks I loved sitting in but they seem to have disappeared. 😞

    Fun!!! Parking, admission, and food service staff weren't real helpful or friendly. The tube rental staff made up for the rest, they were all very helpful. You can't bring outside food in, but they close the kitchen before the movie even started. The bar was a bonus! It has a country club feel, so if that's your thing....👍🏽

    This place is so very cool. Just came out for the day to check it out and see how it works. Can't wait to come out and bring my kayak!

    From tubing to rafting to zip lining, You can surf some waves, or play some Cornhole. If none of that interests you there's a nice balcony to sit in while you enjoy an adult beverage. At times there is live music to enjoy. There are also padle boards and kayaks to enjoy. So many things to do on the river. So many other things to check into and explore

    This is a great area with so many things to do that I can't begin to name them all! I was able to see some of the rowers rowing live down the Oklahoma River.

    An excellent place to offer family fun. With a lot of water activities near by, especially summer time.

    Seems like a really cool place to visit! Hours and plans of operation should be MUCH more easily available, and they're not. I couldn't get ahold of them over they phone despite calling many times during business hours last week. I live in Utah and saw a post on Facebook saying they're open this week. Since I'm off for the holidays and wanted to road trip, I figured this would be a good place to visit, bring my kayak. Anyway, the whitewater is closed until March. Even as I was here another family came in asking about whitewater kayaking as well, also from elsewhere. Maybe it's a bad day, I know this is a very niche sport. But please, make it more obvious when different operations are available. To San Marcos I go! Hopefully Rio Vista construction is over ;)

    Great place worth a trip we had lots of fun, tubing rafting walking the high wire. Shout out to Abby our Rafting guide. She kept us from flipping more than once, Experts skill.

    Kids spent several hours on the dry climbing side. They enjoyed climbing and sliding. Can’t wait to go back to try the river rafting.

    This place was a fun adventure in the hot temperatures. So 3 stars let me explain. The River rafting it self was a blast! The guy running the line and teaching the rafts was super kind and made sure that he paired groups accordingly. Our guide was Tony and he was very knowledgeable and encouraging. He was calm and as we turned from side to side instructed us in the proper techniques so we wouldn’t fall in. The rest of the park was not great, I felt like it was run by summer hell who were not trained. Nobody could really answer questions and the desk to check in took forever. I did not feel confident that if we fell in while paddle boarding or kayaking that they could have helped much. I wanted to zip line and I had downgraded one of the raft rides, I asked if you could zip line because that was the second activity I wanted to do, I was told that I could but it actually made it an upgrade. So, pay the 79.99 if you want the maximum activity. I bought the 54.99 package. The food system was not very sanitary and the guy mixed up the ordered and the customers were standing over the orders while looking for theirs and touching trays. The poor kids was sweet but he did not know what to do, I’m not sure if it was a training issue or a short staff issue but he appeared new and unaware. So all said-the River-raft and tubes seemed the most knowledgeable and educated/trained the rest was enjoyable but just on your own, we were not knowledgeable on the other water activities so next time we will know better. You do get life jackets and helmets. They are sanitized.

    We made a special trip to OKC to come to Riversports Adventures. We checked the website for what type of shoes were acceptable and then were told when we arrived, after paying $5 for parking per vehicle, our shoes where not permitted. We could either rent shoes for $8 a pair or buy some for $30 a pair. We were also told that the rental shoes were not for all activities. What a huge waste of time, gas, toll payments, and very disappointed children.

    Unfortunately I choose this adventure for a birthday weekend and I was throughly disappointed. When I checked in at noon I told the front desk staff I had never been there before. The only information given to me was to fill out my waiver and buy shoes. Once that was completed we walked outside to grab drinks and start an activity. We decided to paddle board. The location of which we could not find. Not a single employee asked if we needed help or guided us at all. Once we asked, we were told there would be no paddle boarding that day. (1.Front desk staff should've told me this before suggesting the activity. 2.This was one of the three activities that I paid for). It is now 1:30pm. We then decide to go tubbing. We find the station and there are no staff to be found. We begin to gear up after being watched by staff for about 10minutes. One staff member runs over and informs us they don't open until 2:00pm. (Front desk staff should've told me this when I checked in at NOON). We decide to get a snack while we wait for the park to open. We arrive at the concessions and place our order. The staff hands me the one pretzel that had been in the rotator since noon. As soon as I touched it, it crumbled because it was so dry. I ask if it would be ok if I waited for a fresh one. I knew it wold take time and that's ok. The employee flipped out on me. She lets out a big huff and says it's going to be a minute and that my friends had already ordered two. I explained that it's ok and I don't mind waiting. She proceeds to explain to me frustrated that another employee left them un-stocked and now they have nothing. I tell her it's ok I understand. She begins to yell at said employee then walks out of the stand. I don't see them use an oven or anything but watch them put the pretzels directly into the rotating machine. We wait about 10minutes, then all three of us are served COLD pretzels, yet the cheese was so hot it burned through the plastic cups they served it in. I gave up. My friend asked that hers pretzel be warmed and they responded that there is no microwave. How the rest out that turned out I cant even tell you. After our sad snack break we kayak. Which is why this review has one star because that was literally the only positive experience we had at this twilight zone. We then go tubbing. We had a fun way down although the cement blocks underneath can really be a pain in the rear, pun intended. At the bottom of the activity a petit young girl tries to catch our tube (4 woman in their 20's). The current drags her with us and my friends proceed to grab tight to the blue blocks. The poor girl is holding on for dear life calling out for another employee to come help her as we hang onto the blue block. She calls for him but he doesn't come. She tells us she isn't sure what the protocol is here. (Anyone who works in water should be aware of ALL SAFTEY PROTOCOLS.) We offer to get out but she says no. Another woman tries to come to the rescue but is working against the current and is unable to get help as well. Causing her to drop her tube which I catch and now holding on to. Durning this the staff is still calling out for another employee to help. He finally runs over and just instructs us to get out. Like we had been asking for 10 minutes. We arrive safely back to deck and decide to just end our day. I have been paddling competitively for 8 years, earning 5 gold medals throughout my career, needless to say I was very excited about visiting here and paying for my cousins pass at it was her birthday. I regret spending the money/time here.

    Got the adventure pass using my AAA. Even though the zip line was broke and the really fast slide was broke we still had a great time. They ropes course was a little intimidating especially at first. It was plenty challenging. If you don't like heights it's probably not far you. We did the rumbo drop from the very top deck. It was a blast. I had to convince a lady before me into jumping. Dont go up there and look straight down before you jump. I did it three times. My granddaughter chickened out the first time up but after seeing me she was able to make the jump. The two open slides were slow. We also played basketball. It was fun. You definitely get a workout here. Didn't do the water stuff but it looked so much fun. Definitely recommend this place. Hopefully next time everything will be open.

    This place is so much more than I imagined. It’s great for kids. There’s a huge playground with a zip line, bouncy floor, reaction game and more. Then there’s an adult zip line and a massive tube slide. But wait, there’s more…. There’s a bike “pump” track and a dog play area. But wait there’s more… there’s a rafting area. You’ll have to see it to believe it.

    They close down everything do to slight winds. We barely got to enjoy anything. And no you are not compensated in any way. I will not return. We drove 6 hours and spent $200 to raft once. Don't waste your time or money!

    Everyone is nice and the white water rafting is a blast.

  • 5/5 William T. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful family friendly venue. There are a number of fun activities for all ages. The prices were reasonable. The food was really reasonable. They have a great bar with specialty drinks. The river tubing is fun and exciting. The atmosphere is like a little beach oasis in the middle of Oklahoma.

  • 3/5 Kristen B. 3 years ago on Google
    Fun but a little expensive for what u get. The rapids & tubing rides are extremely short!

  • 5/5 John C. 3 years ago on Google
    Every bit of the experience was top notch. Our 9yr old Daughter was a bit sceptical of how the white water looked at first.... But after that first trip down the black diamond tube course, She looked at us and said, "I Cant Belive I Almost Missed Out On This!!!" If you Have ever enjoyed a day on the river, then give Riversports Adventures of OKC a shot. We were not disappointed and are ready to book our next trip!

  • 5/5 Copen S. 3 years ago on Google
    Had a blast!!! The staff was friendly and helpful! And our guide for the rafting, Anthony, was great!!

  • 1/5 Clint D. 3 years ago on Google
    Paid $5 per vehicle parking. Read the website stating that you just needed shoes with a heal strap. Got there and they would not allow crocks. They offered us to rent some shoes for $8 a pair and you couldn't use them on all of the activities. Plus with COVID going around and using rented shoes that who knows how they are actually cleaned. We made a special trips to find out that they do not follow their website. Not happy about our trip since we didn't even get to go on any of the activities.

    Great time with the family! Got there about 7pm on Saturday...no lines and almost exclusive time spent with ski instructors for the kids! Rock walls were great for the 5,8,9 year old but the skating was terrible. Open til 10 so go late and enjoy!

  • 5/5 Brooke M. 8 months ago on Google
    Great day of fun for anyone. Ladies trip, men's groups, or just family fun. Activities for ALL included and it was completely worth the cost. Also a great place for people with all levels of fitness. I will return. It's only 1 mile from Bricktown and from Hilton hotels. Would HIGHLY recommend for an afternoon of enjoyment.

  • 5/5 Brown F. 6 months ago on Google
    My 13 year old son just had his birthday party here, and it was amazing! The staff was so patient with the boys on the rapids and when they went surfing. They had the time of their lives, and I highly recommend this place if you want the WOW factor to your party! The party room was clean and so nice. The Esports was also another area that kept them highly entertained and the guy working in there was super helpful and fun! All the guests left saying this was the best birthday party they’ve ever been to!

  • 3/5 Kyle J. 2 years ago on Google
    No whitewater slots on a Saturday; arrived at 11am. No zip line, and 2 hours in line at the FloSurf (15 people). Didn't offer or try to sell fast passes. Buy fast passes or your going to get burned standing in the sun with no shade for hours. They let 2 fast passes in front of every regular rider. Also food and alcohol line was 30+ minutes. No discount for events being closed or full. Don't waste your time. The issues associated with wait times seem potentially associated with employee loss or not having enough staff to keep everything running full speed. UPDATE: 2:34 They apparently monitor these reviews closely. They put up a 10x10 over the line to shade the long line wait. That is impressive so I am upping the review.

  • 5/5 James S. 1 year ago on Google
    What a great experience, the staff was awesome our guide did a perfect job keeping us safe and having fun. The staff running the flowrider did an awesome job making sure everyone had a good time and got to experience the ride. I'm not sure what recent reviews mean that the place is run by teenagers... Sure there are teenagers working there but they did an awesome job and everyone was very kind. We had a pretty good sized group and everyone had a blast. Thanks for taking care of us, hopefully we will be back soon.

    My family and I tried something new and I would rate my experience as unforgettable in a good and bad way! Being in the water and just enjoying that as well as the slides were very fun and relaxing. I went in the inside to buy snacks and when it was time to pay, I realized my bank card was missing. So I asked the lady behind the counter in the little shop where the sodas was if they had a way I can announce if anyone had seen a card laying around( I know it was a far reach) but anyways, the lady assumed I wanted to argue or y’all to someone about my charge for the items. I tried to explain but she was acting so rude that I just left and we started looking for the card ourselves. Fast forward, I gave my daughter some money to buy snacks for the kids and she gave the lady too much money three 5 dollar bills along with a twenty but instead of her giving the extra money , she just gave her change for the 20 so I told her when I found out 1 minute later I went in there to ask her could she count her drawer down if she need to because my daughter gave her too much but she didn’t give that back. The lady just handed me a twenty and I was like that’s too much. You owe us 15 but she started acting like she was scared and saying she don’t want problems and I told her I don’t want your drawer short and I don’t want the extra 5. But she just started saying I will put the money in if I’m short, I just don’t want to count this money. I’m just sad, and at the same time I’m wondering what will come of this situation because at this point anything can be said after we left. I have never stolen anything and don’t ever plan on either. I need to make sure that young woman drawer was short and I want to give her money back. I was never disrespectful or raised my voice but I feel like she was either scared or was just over it at that time. I don’t know is if she was stressed but I need her to know that I was just trying to get back what was mine. Hope she is good! I felt strange after the whole incident!

    The overholser location is fantastic! So peaceful- you can kayak all the way into Stinchcomb refuge. The leaves are absolutely beautiful in the fall and the water is calm and peaceful for kayaking.

    Drove 5 hours to check this place out and oh my gosh, my body is killing me!!!!! We just did the tubing and I don’t understand why there are rock hard blocks in the water going down on the tube?? I have major bruising on my rear and lower back. Also, carrying the yellow family tube up the rocky trail all the way to the top each time is exhausting. It can be fun, but not worth the injuries...🙁

  • 2/5 Jeff M. 3 years ago on Google
    To expensive for the things to do. Could not even get on the rafts even though we bought the day pass.

  • 5/5 Ronda S. 3 years ago on Google
    We rode the riverrafts today. Roy was our guide. I am a middle age woman who has never been very coordinated. He was so kind and helpful. He was very patient with me when I was unable to keep up with the others and helped me out of the raft. The whole experience was a blast! I also had a similar experience while surfing. The staff were so encouraging! Can't wait to come back!!!

  • 2/5 Dakota H. 3 years ago on Google
    I went there to paddle board with my boyfriend and while I enjoyed paddle boarding immensely the rest of my expierence wasn't that great. We get there and ask where we rent the paddle boards and we were directed to "the large building with windows" we walked across the whole campus to discovers there are 4 buildings that fit that description and had to find another employee who then informed us that it is in fact not over here but that we had passed it. We were supposed to go to a separate building to rent paddle boats by the jungle gym. There we were informed to ask someone else because she didn't know. We asked a girl who was literally 5 feet away and she informed us that actually we are to get them down there as long as we have wrist bands. She then directed us to the main building back to the first girl to find where to purchase wristbands. It took us over half an hour walking around and asking around to figure out how to do anything at this place because no one knew how to rent paddle boards. We also had to wait about half an hour to get a paddle board because it was first come first serve and they were out on the water for hours at a time. Once we got it we had fun but most of our expierence was a lot of confusion, frustration, and overall not that great. Please have more helpful employees who know what you have to offer including where they are located and how to gain access to them.

    We got the season pass and its very worth it. We've gone tubing a couple times and we're going rafting here in a few days... but its been a blast thus far. Really excited for Flowrider to open next month as thats one of our favorite workouts.

  • 5/5 Robert C. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is cool. Newer facility that offers tubing, river rafting, and kayaks in a controlled river environment. Also, a ropes course with multiple levels and three mega-slides. Additionally, multiple other activities. The greatest part was the staff - they all looked like high school seniors and early college kids, but THEY WERE AWESOME. All were very polite and had positive attitudes. Whoever the manager the hiring process has a good idea of great people. These kids were great people.

  • 5/5 Bridget Smith A. 4 years ago on Google
    Regatta. Regatta. Regatta. That's my reason for visiting. It's my third year to be here. Sometimes it is perfect weather and not as great results as these days with cooler weather. Results were good. Grandchildren had their days and will likely have more good days to come rowing and learning team work with those who share the passion for the sport. Facilities are world class.
