Salmon Arm Waterslides

Tourist attraction Water park

😠 The place was a Dive! They close slides down at 5:30! Last half hour they want people cleaning up and leaving no sliding allowed. Turned the sprinklers on at 5:50pm to hurry people up! Soaking small kids and moms trying to gather their things. Staff rude! Lines were 30 minutes waiting just to slide,... People often mention slides, kids, water, slide, great, park, staff,

    The place was a Dive! They close slides down at 5:30! Last half hour they want people cleaning up and leaving no sliding allowed. Turned the sprinklers on at 5:50pm to hurry people up! Soaking small kids and moms trying to gather their things. Staff rude! Lines were 30 minutes waiting just to slide, then staff telling people they are the boss and they must go down the slides they tell them to go down even if you want to choose a different one. Threatening me and my kids! Hopefully some new owners can buy the place and turn it around.

    Found it to be fairly run down. The hot tub water was green and cloudy and just looked gross. The patio furniture was old and seats were saggy. The umbrellas had holes in them. My kids kept getting stuck on two of the slides so they avoided those two and just used the other two. It was over an $100 day and they used two slides. We were only there for maybe 1½ and the kids where ready to leave. Really disappointed because we looked at reviews before we went and the reviews are definitely not what we experienced. Although I don't have little kids anymore I thought the kiddy pools where super creative and looked like a lot of fun :) Although we probably won't be going back I think this site has a lot of potential and hopefully can bring it back to its glory. Good luck.

    Had a blast with our 2.5 yo son. Slides are kept in good condition. Was great to see a water slide of this style still up and going. Too many have shut down over the years! Staff was friendly, kept order around the park and kept things clean. Water was a great temperature. Lines weren't that long and staff kept an eye on keeping sliders moving at a proper pace. Great little area from young ones that our little guys had so much fun in! A local summer treasure!

    Really great experience! Staff friendly, location clean and easy to find.4 slides to choose from and being a person of "size" the speed of those slides can become almost dangerous honestly. The kids seem fine (some need to push themselves along) but if you wiegh a couple of extra pounds just be aware, you'll likely be going very fast and be tossed around turns pretty aggressively. Personally I enjoyed the cooler water, it's a nice change from the nasty lukewarm stuff you find in other pools

    Fun few hours with grandkids. I think the water slides are getting old, as I had to push myself to get moving on all 4 slides. Note that you have to have cash only for the concession. Change rooms and lockers. Probably best for kids under 12.

    Kids had a blast, my daughter (3) loved the little slides off to the side. My daughter misplaced her shoes, staff members looked with us all over couldn't find them, next day we get a call, they located them and put them aside for us. Thank you SA watersides.

    I have been to this water park last summer. I thought it was a nice place for families. Not so much for adults. The only places I liked there were the water slides and the hot tub. Still had a good time.

    A great place to spend the day with kids. The lines for the big slides could use some direction as you have one line for 4 slides. So you get a big bottleneck at the top of the stairs because people don't know that they need to line up for the specific slide they choose. Even some basic signage on the stairs to explain the process would be incredibly helpful.

    It’s okay at best. If your kid is under 10 then great. But over ten only have the four slides to use. The rest has signs everywhere saying ten and under. The stairs are definitely old as you can feel them bend and give under your feet. They only had two kids up to managing all four slides, so it was slow, especially for how slow the park was. I would highly recommend the drive to Vernon as those slides are way better in every way. For the cost and lack of slides we won’t be back. There is also only one tiny little pool to dip in and cool off, which was packed.

    The slides were good and the price of food is affordable. Love that. youcan leave and return with your purchased wrist band. I didn't see anyone on the mini golf and I don't know if it's in use, so maybe some additions to kiddie slides would be cool?

    Water slides are fun. They are very smooth with no big ridges between sections. Park has a lot of yellow jackets wasps that make it not so fun. Water slide structures are in need of renovation.

    Took my Wife and our Granddaughter to this water park in August.The staff were nice... Arcade had one machine that worked? the other 15 were out of order. When climbing stairs to top of slides noticed many rotten banisters. rotten steps as well. when i reached the top i noticed the top landing was slightly swaying.Needs attention asap. Needs some major maintenance , but the slides themselves were fun, the hot tub was just plain gross murky dirty water. and the rest of the park was dirty as well. Needs people doing some kind of cleaning routine, and maintenance program. If they were to do this , could be a great place. Sorry for negative review.Hoping this will get someone motivated to make repairs and changes.

    Great place for smaller kids as it has a kiddy pool. Also good for larger kids and adults

    Is a fun waterpark, especially for younger kids. The staff were wonderful, there is lots of room to hang out in the sun, and the park was clean and well-maintained. Only downside is that the slides don't seem to have enough water, so material doesn't slide down them. You need to push up with your heels and shoulders in order to go, otherwise you'll get stuck. We enjoyed our time but probably won't go again during peak hours as it costs a lot for a family. Better to wait for the discounted 'end of day' price.

    We had an amazing time here with the kids. This was the best all around water park for kids that we have been to yet. It is an affordable attraction, and the food inside was also really affordable. It was clean and well taken care of. The staff were all really nice and the manager was also working and very nice as well. We will definitely be back next year.

    NOT a great experience. Will never be back. A big waste of money. My kids couldn’t get down the slides without pushing themselves most of the way down. What a joke. We asked for our money back, they said NO. No actual pool to go in. They have small kiddie pools and that’s it. We were walking on muddy dirt where we were sitting. Just gross. The change rooms stunk and haven’t been updated since they opened I’m sure. Don’t waste your money.

    We had an absolutely terrible time. Definitely not as amazing as some others have stated. 1) There was barely any selection of food. They were constantly out of stock. No fries, no chicken nuggets/strips, etc. Embarrassing... 2) Hornets were everywhere. Between fighting to eat what was available to eat, the hornets are fighting you for something to eat too. For the price of the hornet traps and their maintenance, I know for a fact that it’s a very minor expense to dramatically increase customer comfort. 3) The “Water Slides” had whatever coating on them to protect their longevity. I get it. But you cannot slide down them. Both children and adults had to ‘skootch’ down the slide and try and smile while doing it. And the organization up top for slide selection was mayhem. It’s not hard to get the lines sorted out for better flow. All in all, absolute trash experience.

    Spent the whole day here with the family and the kids loved it! They still advertise a mini golf course that has been closed for years by the look of it. The stairs and banisters could use a coat of paint and some rotten wood replaced. But we are already talking about returning for all the smiles the waterslides made.
