Very nice and clean place you could bring your chairs, coolers and food. Parking is free and for 15.00 dollars per person is a great deal. Every where else you pay parking cant bring your food or coolers and you have a long ride and pay tolls and gas! This is great for the whole family. The only reason I gave 4 stars if inclement weather arise no rain checks whats so ever

It was a great, local, swimming water that has everything for kids and adults. I love the fact that it is a short drive to get there and the ticket prices are reasonable. I can go there every weekend with the family and have a great time.

Staff is very friendly and helpful. Social distancing is encouraged and masks are required which was a plus. The areas to sit and relax are also spaced apart perfectly. All in all it was our first visit and we cant wait to go again. Also everyone social distanced while in the pools as well without being asked. You are encouraged to bring your own chairs and you can bring food as long as its not in glass containers or you can purchase food there as well. No alcoholic beverages allowed.

Organized, clean, sanitized railings, bathrooms and other commonly used places...every hour. Would highly recommend attending. Tickets are only $20 a person.

Separate from the water park and unmarked, is this gorgeous lake with beautiful trails around it.

Small but perfect for a afternoon trip with the kids. Outside food is allowed but they also have a luncheonette with affordable prices. Non-residents pay different price, a little higher. After 4pm, entrance is cheaper. The taller slides require riders to be a minimum height of 48inches. It has a lazy river, 2 bigger pools and too smaller ones. There is also a sprinklers kid play area and an obstacles pool game.

Very clean and I love the huge tents for shade. I highly recommend this family pool. Great for all ages.

The slides and lazy river shown on the photos and website are closed due to covid, making this park unappealing for my older kids. I purchased tickets and then I immediately realized that they were closed and called them. Being a Saturday night, no one answered. I called early on Sunday to try to re-schedule my tickets but they wouldn’t budge. No refunds, no exchanges! My tickets were for Tuesday. I lost $60 for 4 tickets, and I got a very inflexible person on the phone. Beware. Ah, if you buy tickets and its raining, good luck with that too. Or even if you buy and get sick, they won’t do anything for you. I wonder how many people go there sick cause they won’t refund or exchange

Great place and reasonable price! Only con was the ladies bathroom could have been cleaned better.

Perfect place to take little kids you bring keeping distance super clean bathrooms lots of lifeguards we in love with this place

Great place....been going there four years...Very clean....I didnt know ...and ..didnt read the new rules...this year you had to bring your own beach chairs..But no problem...most of the time in the eayer..Also Stacy the supervisor was the best!!Patti from FarmingdaleGreat place for a family day!

Love this place. Very spaced out. My family and I felt safe while visiting.

Love it.....friendly staff...prices are great....place is not crowded they limit the amount of people

This is a pretty decent water park considered most are strictly for residents only, non-residents pay an additional charge but well with in reasonable amount, they also have reduced prices after 4pm entering, which is 18$ for 4hrs still pretty decent if youre looking for something near by and saves you from driving down to the shore, staff is very friendly & the lifeguards are always attentive actually better than any other locations I Have ever experienced making it a safe environment for the kids! Which always makes it worth it!

Only 1 hour drive from brooklyn including traffic! Kids always ask to go there. So many life guards all over so we really feel comfortable letting the kids hang around on their one. Feels like a vacation.

First time I enjoy will recommend my friends.

Hot? Ocean is far? Six flags $$$? Go to Crystal Springs if you live around East Brunswick.Love it.

I love it here , great staffs and love the food . Great services definitely coming back again . Amazing

It was really nice the kids loved it will be back soon

Girls finally tall enough and they love the slides. Lazy river, the lilly pad obstacle course. All of it. Go during the week when its not as crowded.

Wonderful water park, great for kids of all ages and the entire family.

Food not fresh. Workers very rude

Not bad..but most of the slides are closed

As a Veteran, the greatest benefit after getting out of the Navy , a benefit that helped me to relax , was Crystal Springs allowing me entrance for free . Raising my two boys in New Jersey is not easy , being able to escape to Crystal Springs to swim and read a book , brought me the rest and peace I really needed . Now that Crystal Springs is no longer allowing Veterans entrance for free , doing away with this I cant understand... I hope the managment will allow this again, the staff was always nice, the food was good and the waterpark was always clean [email protected]

The customer service is immaculate. Every time me and my family come here we totally enjoy ourselves. I would suggest this place to anyone with children and without children. I have been trying to schedule a day where I can come by myself. I just really really love this place very clean very responsible when it comes to the lifeguards and anything else. Strongly recommend for a good outing.

We visited Crystal Springs for the first time last week. My two grandchildren ages 3 1/2, 1 1/2, my husband and adult daughter. I was very, very impressed upon entering with the friendly greetings of the staff and patience in explaining the layout to us. The waterpark was immaculate and so well run I cannot say enough about it. I feel it must be managed very well because with the crowd of families and children there it could easily become unsafe. I observed the lifeguards correcting behavior of adults and children both and in every case I saw professionalism and one to one contact explaining what the individual was doing wrong. I myself sat on a wall, not seeing the sign “No sitting on wall“. I was politely corrected by the lifeguard. The lifeguards were everywhere and every lifeguard enforced the same rules. Each employee we came in contact with was friendly and very well informed. Our two little grandchildren had an absolutely wonderful day. As did we, being able to relax as we watched them enjoy the water, the showers and the slides. We ate at the concession stand and enjoyed our lunch. (Next time we will probably pack a picnic lunch to save some money. It’s great that this is an option.) We did bring our own lawn chairs so we could be sure to sit in the shade.My compliments to all of the staff for their hard work and compliance and to the management for running a beautiful and safe family facility. We will be back and possibly season passes next summer.Thank you to all for a wonderful outing on a summer day!

This bathroom was disgusting! I was terrified to see throw up on the walls and roaches on the floor! I will never be using this bathroom again!!!!!

I hope you guys see my review before visiting this place. It is a total waste of your money. They are ALL racist racist racist racist by all means. Long story short, the life guards and managers refused to let us in the water because we didnt have bathing suits on, no exceptions at all not even religious exceptions. Even though we all had swimwear material on but not bathing suits, they still refused. 20 minutes or more of arguing, we asked for a refund. They refused to give us our money back. Terrible guest services and treatment and we felt threatened because the cops aimed at his gun while we were talking to the supervisor. This is a very honest review, we were not loud and we didnt try to fight things off, but we were trying to get our money back and leave. But I promised myself to have this issue reach officials and have the park get closed because it is NOT a joke to feel threatened or unsafe in your own country.

While on vacation we debated on going to six flags water park but last minute decided on Crystal Springs. We are so glad we did! We had an amazing day. It wasn’t busy so we weren’t waiting in any lines. It was super affordable, super clean and could bring in your own drinks/food. We had the best relaxing day ever! We will be back!

Very safe environment for family water park fun. Dedicated lifeguarding and friendly staff.

There’s no one even thereIt’s just became 1 hour and you say sold out

Nice place to go with Family and Friends. FUN fun fun

My kids had a great time. But you have to keep your eyes on the kids because the lifeguards just stand there. My nephew fell out of his tube and began to drown and the lifeguards just stood there. Me and a stranger had to save him. But besides that it was fine

It was okay, but I didnt like having to pay extra for being a non-resident. I understand why they did it, but its still unfair. The pools were fun, and it was a good experience. The waiting lines were incredibly long for most of the attractions. We were waiting about 50 minutes just to get into the park, and 15 minutes to get on the lazy river.I was going to rate this 4 stars, until something that happened near the end of my visit. I was waiting on the water slide(there are only 2 working, each line was a very long wait also) when I got stung by a bee. Luckily I wasnt allergic, but I still went to the first aid office. When I told the guy there that I got stung while waiting for the slides, he said, Yeah, there are a lot of bees around that area. What if I had been allergic? If someone whos allergic to bee stings went to the water slides, there would be a good chance that they couldve been stung. The staff may not be able to do anything about the bees, but they could at least post notices near the entrance.It was a good water park, but I wouldnt recommend going if you are allergic to bee stings, or not willing to wait near the entrance for an hour on a hot day. Additionally, if you are planning on driving far to come, dont bother. Its not that much of a water park, unless you want to spend all day playing basketball.

Total waste of money. Not worth for the money you spent. Guards are more than visitors count and they restrict everywhere. They will not allow you to move freely. Make you hurry to leave one hour before closing time. Very limitted pools to enjoy 48” kids not allowed half of them and above 48” kids not allowed in some other then why they are charging full ticket. Zero stars.. avoid this place.

They Didn’t allow many people of color in because of our race Never going back there again

Great placeClean organized

So much fun if you have just a little guy! Have to be over 4 ft tall to ride big slides... but so much fun even without them!

We drive from Jersey City and pay an upcharge for being out of county visitors but its so worth it. We love the lazy river ride, the food stand, and the overall relaxed feel of the place. Great for families and small children.

My mom went with my nephew, said she had zero complaints. The place had enough chairs even though they state they only have an abundant amount. People were friendly/staff too!Favorite thing for my mother was that they dont kick you out of the lazy river.. you can stay as long as you want!My nephew said the chicken tenders where better then Fridays

Its great for a few hours, especially if you have little kids. My biggest gripe is the concession area. Every time we go there, it takes forever to get your food, regardless of the line, or what youre ordering, and its often times, poorly prepared. A few weeks ago, my wife was sent to the pick up window after waiting 20 minutes in line to order nachos, and then had to wait another 20 minutes to get them (she already paid, otherwise she would have left at that point). When they finally gave her the food, it was the crushed chips from the bottom of the bag, and she was told that they didnt have any more chips. Weve started bringing our own food and drinks to avoid the headaches, but it would be nice to be able to occasionally grab a drink or ice cream without a 25 minute wait.

An excellent outdoor family outing, a favorite place as a kid, water slides, pools and more.

We have visited Crystal Springs numerous times. The facility is always clean, the water in the pools is crystal clear. Numerous life guards on duty throughout the day. Police monitor the facility and parking lot as well. The Supervisors are friendly and helpful. Everyone working there greats you with a smile

Its expensive for non residents its crowded theres no chairs. I guess the kids have fun.

Very nice place. Clean and well maintained. Lots of attentive staff and lifeguards. Very nice outing for families with young kids. Get there early.

The slides are good and the place is clean. The staff is friendly and there are a lot of lifeguards. The reason I am giving 3 stars is because the lady manager said over the intercom around 7:05 that if you are still in the park you are trespassing. That is completely unacceptable and unnecessary. At 6:45 everyone is supposed to be out of the water. They cant expect all the people in the park to be ready to leave in 15 min. They have to provide people with enough time to change their clothes, shower, use the bathroom, etc. I would think twice before coming back here because of what the manager said. It was totally out of context and unnacceptable. That is not the way to treat customers.

Very nice clean water park. Definitely a convenient drive. My son is four and he had a very nice time. But IMO its over priced.

Family had a great experience. The staff were helpful and provided us good info on how to get through the park. All smiles!!

Never had a problem with staff or anyone for that matter! Sure, people splash you a lot but its a waterpark what do you expect? Water is a really nice to spend time in, the lazy river is pretty fun and the lounge chairs are pretty comfy to lay on!

Great family atmosphere, pools for all ages. Would give the extra if the rules of the lazy river were less strict.

When u are closed why here i see that water park is open? are this normal? we come from brooklyn and you are closed. shame on you! never hear about update? don’t go there, they didn’t work and google nothing say about that!

So, I was here for the park behind it to go fishing. Boy Scouts / Eagle Scout did a nice job within the last year. Fishing is fun!

Very nice place to relax and unwind

Perfect little place to relax while my son has fun in the sun....

We have been been there before with our grandchildren and it is a fun place. However this time after being there all day my wife noticed she broke out in a red rash all over her body especially where ever there were pressure points under her swim suit. My wife is allergic to Bromide and we believe that the pools and the lazy river use bromide instead of clorine. Our dermatologist stated the rash was a result of a chemical reaction likely to to pool chemicals. We suggest that management at crystal springs post a notice about pool chemicals in use and possible allergic reactions.

Perfect day with the family. Pools were clean and staff was pleasant. Great family friendly atmosphere

The worse customer service ever!

Good mini water park... the lazy river is fun and there were tons of places for our toddler to have fun. Slightly pricey... recommend going after 4 for a lower rate. A fun place for the summer in general. A plenty of space to sit relax or have a picnic. Theres a cafe here as well and a mini beach. Our son had a great time!

I loved this place because it was small and very pleasant to spend the day at. Not overly crowded, we were able to bring our own outside food in. They have grills if you choose to make burgers/hotdog.. the restroom was the biggest highlight, they were clean and smelled fresh.. I have recommended this place to many of people since my last visit..

Beautiful place with the worst customer service , I live in East Brunswick ,and I show my ID for proof of address ,and I was getting from the gate with my kids 10 years and 13 years and they started to ask my kids where they live and what school they are going to In a way I felt that I am a thief. I tried to ask for supervisor to explain to him this way isn’t right but even the supervisor wouldn’t listen to me.i will never go back there again.

Racist. All those negative comments about this issue is 100% true. Went here with my family in July and my relative with her 2 year old child got harassed by management. They even brought police because of an employees lie which they believed with no evidence meanwhile we were with her the whole time. Sad this has to happen in this day and age. Dont recommend spend your money where you can at least enjoy it.

Nice park for the younger crew.Took son & his friends the last time when he just had turned 11. Too old for it.It’s a great park for 9 & under.You can bring in food, so that’s cool.

Family waterpark. Always a good time. My 7yr old loves it.

The inside was beautiful and an amazing experience I took my son who is 3 months old there for his first water park experience and he enjoyed it the only problem was the wait outside in the heat buy to be fair it was a holiday so I think that was why

Great place to relax. Fair cost. Friendly staff. I must visit.

Great day took my family there they all had fun will go again

Loved everything about this place. I want to sign my family up for a season pass after coming and were not even EB residents.

Had a great time here with family, very clean, alot of life guards and safe environment...

Great staffna fun experience and plany to do

The water is a little warm, but the pools are very well located, it has plenty of space, many beach chairs, a music that makes the place more happy, and the lifeguards very attentive in their work, my baby love this place.

Great for the kids. My little ones, including my toddler, have a great time and can go down the kid slides by themselves. They love the splash pad too. The larger slides are fun for bigger kids (48 in tall minimum). It does get crowded though, and sometime the water is a bit dirty. Still fun though

The best pool ever

For people of east Brunswick it may be good bcoz its cheap but for others they kept ticket of 28 dollars per person which I didnt find worth.There is one splash ground,lazy river,2 pools ,3 big water slides for people above 48 inch and one more water activity area.Pro is clean water , lots of lifeguards on duty and decent place for picnic bcoz its local for east Brunswick people but other than that better I would spend some more money and go to big water park.

Memorial Day.... The snack bar didnt have enough workers. It was a long wait for food. The staff that was there did an excellent job though!I was disgusted by the anouncement the manager made on the intercom around 7:05pm. She said anyone that is still in the facility is trepassing and needs to leave. At 645 everyone has to get out of the water. So you are given 15 minutes to leave the park. That is not enough time to gather things,shower,change, etc. I will find another water park to go to.

This place is awesome and great

Great place I took my son their. He loved it

OMG it is the 4th of July this water park is the best! The lines went swiftly from 10:45, there were Life Guards everywhere. When an announcement was made it was positive and very helpful by the speaker. The staff helped familys get chairs, it was a WONDERFUL DAY!SO so organized it was an amazing day.Thank you so much it was a great 4th of July with Crystal Springs Water ParkAAA RATING, thank you again for making such a fun and Safe day.

This is a really fun splash park for kids. We were there on a 100 degree Saturday in July, and it was busy, but manageable. The staff was very friendly, and the lifeguards were very attentive. It is pretty pricy for non residents, but well worth it. The optimal age range is 2-10. You have to be 48 for the big water slides, and they are firm on that policy, so keep that in mind.

Well maintained, too crowded though, even though they stopped admissions because of crowding, it was already too packed. Also with all the shallow pools for kids I dont understand why such small kids are allowed in the large lap pool, that is annoying theres really no place for a grown up to swim in peace

Sux. They all about taping ur pockets. Use to be friendly, now jus greed. No love felt like past 2yrs. Assuming new management. Sux

Its really fun for kids; especially for youngers kids around the ages of 4-8. The lazy river is very realxing for the adults. The only bad thing about it is that its right next to a very unappealing dirty swamp, which also atracks bugs. In breif cibclusion, it is a very fun thing to do in the summer for all ages, even for your dogs!

Great place to take your small kids. its s small water park but great for your lil onces

Daughter went to Birthday party and had fun....make sure to bring own chairs

Great place we loved it. A bit over managed. The life guards were a little too strict. The line for slides were moving too slow. I still give them 5 stars

Do not go there, some fraudsters work there, they took money from everyone and they said we expect a storm to close. But they didnt returned our money back. Children and adults should buy tickets at the same price, but they closed the park there were more than 100 people, the children cried a lot, but they didn’t even notice. Take care of your nerves, do not go to them. FRAUD !!!

I dont know how this place got bad reviews. Its a good thing I disregarded them and went to ck it out for myself. I loved everything. Its like a mini water park. The facilities for the little ones were cute, the lazy river was relaxing and the slides cool. My mother had previously hurt her arm so when she tried to go in the pool she got dizzy and fell in. The staff rushed to her side and management was there in seconds. They checked her oxygen and heart rate. They gave her some oxygen and stood by her side till she was better. I could not thank them enough. Everyone was friendly and they kept warning everyone to stay hydrated and keep cool, because it was such a hot day. My family and I would definitely go again. Theyve got my thumbs up.

I didnt go there I dropped my daughter off what are you checking up on me big Brothers. Theres some on me bastards

I have to say I am giving 4 stars only because I will be going tomorrow for the First time yet the girl who answered the phone was my reason to decide to go due to how nice and HELPFUL she was and even at a busy time around 12 ish pm she took the time out to even see how far the hotel we are staying at was! So as someone that worked with the public I gotta say very great Staff already plus my friends recommend it highly!

The place is nice but some workers there are so disrespectful ever, they dont have patience and they are rude. I was just there and one of the guards or the security screamed at a little girl the girl came out crying!

Hi everyone, I’m so upset with the way my family and I were treated yesterday at Crystal Springs Family Waterpark. Yesterday we were at the kiddy pool, and to ride the slides you have to enter through the other end of the park. The first time my step mom rode down the slide with her 3 year old, and was quickly told adults were not allowed to go on the slides. Second time she let her daughter slide by herself but when her daughter landed, she started crying for her mom, my step mom got worried that she hurt herself and walked down a pavemented hill alongside the slide to get to her daughter. Once again the lifeguard blew the whistle at her multiple times, and at this point she said what am I supposed to do? My baby is crying and I’m supposed to walk around to the entrance that’s on the opposite end of the kiddy pool and leave her alone, she could have been hurt! This is a very unsafe layout on their part, so we left to go relax in the lazy river, as we approached the end, we were pulled out by four workers and a police officer, one of the workers told us we are to leave immediately because cursing at lifeguards is unacceptable. I was shocked. Apparently, the 15 year old life guard that blew the whistle at my step mom lied to his managers that we were cursing at him several times. My step mom was furious, she tried to explain to them what happened, but they would not even let her speak! And kept going on about how this is our last warning, cursing will not be tolerated, and we are not to be in perimeters next to the life guard who we “verbally assaulted”. This happened within 20 mins of us arriving, so the rest of the time spent there was ruined. We couldn’t believe they would attack us like that with no evidence, and would take the word of two lifeguards, from which one who was not even there when it happened ! I understand conflicts happen, but to keep accusing someone of cursing, and threatening to kick us out, without asking what really happened first is beyond me. And to say the least, the lifeguard blew the whistle, and we left , so there was no actual conflict! Situation blown out of proportion. We felt attacked, and embarrassed by the scene they caused in front of many others. This experience was so traumatizing, that our kids are hesitant to visit any other water park! I have to now schedule therapy sessions, and will be speaking to a lawyer regarding this issue.

Your refund has a lot of activities to do I love the riverline and I love going down the slide so much fun great time to spend with family and friends

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON A RESERVED PARTY AT #CRYSTALSPRINGS #CRYSTALSPRINGSFAMILYWATERPARK #CRYSTALSPRINGSEASTBRUNSWICK You will be DISAPPOINTED, GUARANTEED!A month ago we made reservations for our birthday party for our daughter with autism. She loves swimming and we LIKED this waterpark, as we often visit this place.UNTIL;First, they only allowed my husbands name on the contact (because we have 2 different addresses on our IDs ) so on that day when I arrived before my husband at the Waterpark, THEY DID NOT ALLOW ME AND MY DAUGHTER, THE CELEBRANT ENTRANCE!!!, because my husband is not present. He was on another (food& supply) vehicle enroute. Until his arrival, I had to calm my very upset autistic daughter. #notautismfriendly #autismspeak #autismawareness2) We paid for a reserved party for up to 50 people, naturally we brought a ton of stuff. We inquired if we can set up early since the waterpark changed their hours, closing 2 hours early, and we wanted to set up prior to our guests arrival. WE WERE REFUSED, and they had the audacity to tell us to have our guest come later !!! Additionally, my husband was not allowed to leave his vehicle and unload at our tent (he would have to park at the end of the lot) so my son was the only one bringing our belongings to our tent under the intense heat of the day, WITH NO ASSISTANCE FROM THE PARK (yet they annoyingly set off their speakers to remind people to keep hydrated) but risk my sons health & safety #FAKE #UNACCOMMODATING3) #NOTHANDICAPPFRIENDLY Not 30 minutes at the place, I see my handicap sister in law, whose in crutches almost poolside with no assistance whatsoever from the SUPERVISORchatting it up with a LIFEGUARD ON DUTY not 10 FEET AWAY. ANOTHER time, my husband witnessed another lifeguard with disregard and completely no concern for my sis in law along side this lifeguard at the very same pool where a young boy drowned in the year prior. No wonder!!!! #lifeguardwhat #safetywhere #shameless4.) YES, there is MORE! MANY INFACT!!! Crystal Spring FAMILY Waterpark is NOT family friend to those that gave a non-refundabe deposit for a reserved party. They gave us a half filled cooler of ice. They has to assist with security a family member that just wanted to drop off their gift (not in swim gear)!?! They initially said they will accommodate our Ice cream cake (LIE!!!). AND Not 2 hours before they close, they paged my husband. Not 30 minutes afterwards (they lied about having my party paged for cake) another page for my husband, take a wild guess what they want... thats right, MORE MONEY! They said that since all our guests has arrived, they would like to be paid so they can get their monies before the end of the day. #appalling Later on upon leaving, a security/supervisor was making me speed up my clean up so they can close EARLY (my question being; why did the place open instead from 12-8 for the health safety of their staff that would be working at the cooler hour of the day) . Oh, did they just try to rush my sis in law out of the park???Do I have more to complain about this place that I thought would be a great place to put my hard earned money on, ABSOLUTELY!!! Yes, there will be another post and not just here. Be sure, you will see posts on social media. To warn others that will plan Reserved PARTIES at a place that does not cater to parties but only to your MONIES.To Crystal Springs and the Mayor of East Brunswick, remove your RESEVED PARTY modus operandi when your facility did not accommodate whatsoever, what a major disappointment, an awful experience!!!

It used to be a great family water park but over the years it has really gone down hill. The park is way over crowded, it needs to be cleaned and updated, the cafe is unbelievably slow, and they are always short staffed.

To expensive for non East Brunswick residente but very Nice time i wish kids would be a little more cheap would Take my 5 Grand kid but cant aford it. Many líder guarda and security. U can Take Ur own food and refreshments. Get their early

Very good place if your looking for a fun family place I would recommend it, it is worth the money.

If I could give a worse rating I would. It was over crowded, and not worth the money. Worst experience Ive ever had. Was questioned about my bathing suit, and then pulled out of the park and arrested, because police got a call from management that I looked suspicious, while on a ride with my girlfriend. Then to top it off because they didnt have lockers due to over crowding my wallet with 250 dollars cash and credit cards was stolen. Worst water park ever!!!

So many life guards all over so we really feel comfortable letting the kids hang around on their one. Feels like a vacation.

Nice place just wish more chairs were available.

My daughter and several friends were there for a Moving Up party. They had a great time and really enjoyed it. They went in on a Monday at 4 and practically had the park to themselves. No big lines or waiting.

It was nice but the life guards suck
