PIRATES COVE WATER PARK REVIEWS

I had such a fantastic experience at Pirates Cove that I had to take the time to give them a 5 star review. Every employee was incredibly friendly, but there were two who went above and beyond. I have a latex allergy and needed to know if the floats in the lazy river contained latex. I asked a head guard, Aubrey, and she wasn’t sure so she called her manager, Avery, to ask. Avery came and met with me. She then said we could check the box in the shed to see if it was listed because she wasn’t sure either. The box was not helpful in the slightest. This is where Avery went way above and beyond. Unbeknownst to me, she went to the office and called the company who makes the floats! She then came to find me and let me know that they are latex free. I was shocked by how much effort was given to answering my question. We had a fantastic day at the water park and will definitely be making many more visits in the future!.

Such a great spot for a family outing. There are lots of activities on a small piece of land. With dietary restrictions in our group, we appreciated being able to bring a cooler with us. They have reasonably priced season passes to enjoy the fun throughout their season.

This is a good smaller sized “water park” brought our 10 month old and 2 1/2 old here and they enjoyed the baby pool, pirate ship and lazy river. The lockers are nice, hard to find chairs, but we were able to. Bathrooms were clean and we had a great time.

BOONDOCKS REVIEWS

This place was amazing. Met some friends, and we all had a day of fun with our teenage kids. There was a 30-minute wait for bowling, and once we were called, the shoe/pay line was so long they gave our lanes away. However, they upgraded our bowling experience to VIP, and the kids were in awe at the private bowling room. It was beautiful and decorated for the holidays. We ordered pizza and drinks, and our waitress was very attentive to our needs. We played 2 competitive games and were extremely loud. The staff was very understanding and no one complained about the noise. VIP bowling is the way for us from now on. We will be back!

My first time visiting Boondocks was for my daughter's birthday. It was an awesome experience! The food was better than expected. The crews were super nice and patient in spite of handling a large crowd. I will plan for more events.

Amazing pizza here! We got the meat lovers and it's 4 out of 5 stars! Karting is so much fun and the karts are pretty fast and fun. Cool place for family fun!!

THE SPLASH AT FOSSIL TRACE REVIEWS

The Splash really is a great outdoor pool. It’s best for younger kids, as most of the facility is geared for kids 10 and younger. Not that older kids and adults can’t have fun, but the slides are pretty short and the “fun” pool is pretty shallow. It’s not nearly as busy as pirates cove and it’s much more peaceful. You can bring in food, so that’s nice. Tip: get there when it opens to snag a chair or table in the shade.

One of favorites. Chill spot for moms, dads and kids. It's moderately spaced so I don't feel I lose my kid. So I can enjoy time too safely. The life guards are great and on it, trust worthy. You can bring your own food, snacks, drinks too make it a day without breaking the bank.

We loved it! It sure was a nice overcast summer day in the 80's. I've never been to the concessions because we always pack a lunch and drinks. Get there early to get a lounge chair! The fact that it's so cheap and super fun.. also safe, it's a great summer day staycation.
