Cons: my friend caleb was decapitated in this waterpark, by the tallest water slide in the world. There should have at least been tracks on the water slide, so the rafts dont fly off.Pros: Verrukt, when it was open was a awesome water slide. Very thrilling ride. All the places in this park are the best. Idk why it has a 3.5 review. It should have a 5.I would love to go back on Verruckt, if it is opened again, in a safer way. Unfortunately, this place is becoming a sports complex. Hopefully, the future development areas will be full of water slides and pools. One of the baseball fields here should be named after caleb schwab. Although August 7th 2016 was the first time I ever saw my friend injured, that was a accident. It was tragic, but water slides in the water park is what really matters most. That is why with cons, this is getting a 5 star review

Fun but not enough for the price. 2 sets of 3 water slides that arent that different. When we went 25% of the rides were closed which forced the others to be too crowded. Park was clean and the staff was friendly.

Great way to spend the weekend. Its pricey but well worth it. Go for the 2 day value pass because it wont be possible to experience all the attractions included in just 1 day. We bought a 1 day but they let us upgrade to a 2 day pass before closing. I really appreciated that our 2 1/2 year old was free. It helped us out. We tried out the buffet and it was delicious. It was just about $5 more than the concession food served in other parts of the grounds. We came from Dallas for Memorial Day weekend and expected long lines but that was not the case. Our 6 and 2.5 year old loved it. Well definitely come back in a couple of years.

Great fun and exciting times here, definitely worth place checking out if you are in KC.

All the links are deactivated on their website. You cant purchase tickets to the park online. Local news stations have already been reporting for months that the park is in bankruptcy and has numerous debts. The door to their administrative building / storage shed has been open 24/7 for weeks now allowing pests and rodents to enter. No grounds or landscaping crews have been working on the property allowing it to fall even more into disrepair. Construction crews and tractors have been digging on the east side of the park. Theyve been renting out their parking lot to car dealerships or rental companies as well. It almost looks like theyre deconstructing on the site. Ive had friends that have worked there in the past and said: it was a terrible place to work. Many of the other reviewers on here said most of the rides were closed or shutdown last season and that the concession stands were all closed, but they still had to pay full price for admission. The place is an eye sore! The press also reported that the owner / former owner (Jeff Henry) is in serious legal trouble and currently charged with drug and sex offenses, not to mention the ongoing Verrückt investigation. Theres a new Legends Outlets East development currently underway. Schlitterbahn Waterpark Kansas City will not re-open. Even if they tried, no one would go or take their kids there. All things considered, would you? Their rides are either broken or extremely dangerous. The evidence is conclusive! You can read the report online.

Staff was friendly, atmosphere was fun and my family had a good time. Lockers were really expensive. Smaller park but has some unique rides that other parks dont offer and it the best option for KC area.

I rated this on a level 3 because when we were there we went to wait in the line for the slide and it was 2 slides well ppl who were at the one slide had blue mats the other one had tubes and as you wet standing on the stairs with your tube the ppl from the other slide could but in front of you and the staircase is narrow. There were ppl in the lazy river stopped because the water flow is a little slow so they have lifeguards in the water to give you a push. It was alright but dont bring any glass in you cant have it and I think they need more picnic tables, but it is a plus that you can bring your own food.

My family absolutely loves this place, always a great time coming here and best part for us is you can pack a lunch and bring it in the park with you (money saved) love it!

I would certainly not recommend. This is a very sinister park as it is the decapitation site of a 10 year old, CALEB SCHWAB, google it. I am in shock for this place to still be open. I hope visitors are aware of this.

I loved this park. I am so sad that it isnt opening up this year. Oceans/Worlds of fun was such a let down. It was filthy and small. Schlitterbahn was THE PLACE to go. I wish we would have known it wasnt opening this year. Any news would have been nice, instead I just keep hoping theyre opening late for the season.

Great water adventures for all ages. The whole family had a great time.

Not the greatest park on earth but I didnt expect it to be. The big slide is great, just get a reservation so you dont waste all day in line.

I don’t think this park will reopen. The tragedy of 2016 and bad publicity have pretty much killed it off. If only people could be honest in their business practices and do things right and see to the safety of their guests, they would never have gotten in this mess. By the way, Oceans of Fun is only 20 minutes away if you want a good water park experience that’s clean, fun and safe.

This has always been a family event for us. The park use to do a scout day and the girls always had fun. It was relaxing to just cruise all the water way. The park was connected by water! I’d give it a 5 star but with the negative stories, the park ran fewer rides after the accident. Also the disappointment of no news on this season. I hope the park opens this year, and I hope that it don’t close permanently. This would be a big loss for the growing area in KCK! If the park is open this year you can bring in your own food!!!!! Just no glass containers, you know the whole barefoot thing and glass don’t mix!

A good water park! Some of the rides were closed but I for sure wasnt going to let that stop my family and I from having a great time!!! The river with waves was my best experience! Had fun jumping into the waves and of course theyre going to be big, thats what makes it very fun!! Saw many kids enjoying them too. I recommend it.

The lazy river create a fun adventure throughout the park. Rides are varied in speed and height. The waterboard allows for knee boarding experiences at no extra cost. Entire facility was clean. Well supervised by life guards. Definitely a must do for our future trips to KC!

Nice place but not much to do. We came later in the season and 25% of the rides are closed but we stll paid full price. So even though the crowd is down, the remaining rides sill have a wait. Staff is friendly and park is clean.

We love Schlitterbahn! We visited the park Labor Day weekend and the park had posted ahead of time, what rides would be operating on the day we were there!! Thank you!! We are very much looking forward to next season and cannot wait for King Kaw to be open! We also love the fact that we can bring in a cooler with food and drinks! Thank you Schlitterbahn for the fun!! We will see you in 2019!!

The park was very easy to find. I loved that it had free parking and you could bring your own lunch in. The kids loved it and only 2 rides werent open. Great fun!

On the News a 10 year old boy fell out of the tallest ride so l decided to do it and it was fun and the park was fun

Honestly never been to this one because it it so far away from were we live, I won’t even try to go to this one because of the 10 year old who died here, just here to say that the one in new braunfels something like that is better then the one in Kansas

Most of the rides were closed on a holiday weekend due to lack of staff. There was barely anything to do and it was packed since most of the rivers and slides were blocked off. Could definitely use a better restroom cleaning schedule. I used to love this park. We still made the most of it but the kids were bored by 2.

This is a great water park, but you cant buy tickets online. You would have to buy tickets offline if you want to buy tickets for Schlitterbahn in Kansas City. Its pretty sad to hear that you cant buy Schlitterbahn Kansas City tickets online. I still like Schlitterbahn in Kansas City.

Awesome place, the employees were very nice and helpful, its a bit on the pricier side, but Id say worth it. And as for people concerned because of the accident, none of the rides that are still open are dangerous at all. It was also a VERY clean place. Even the toilets were extremely clean.

This was a nice water park for the family to enjoy as a whole. Just remember that half of the water rides are only open on the weekend before you go. Be prepared to spend over $10 just for a locker. On a good note however, there is free parking and you can bring your picnic into the park to save money.

Check the website/Facebook or call the park to set your expectations for open rides before going. This year, King Kaw has not been open on weekdays, that’s a big deal so unfortunately I gave 4 star because of closed rides (reflects on management issues if u ask me - they should have been ready for 2018 including the KS over zealous inspector), but today was otherwise awesome and we’ll be back for sure. We arrived 30 minutes early it was a light line. Arrival staff was friendly, we did a Groupon and it worked fine. Parking is free and they let u take food and drinks into the park, tunes were free, a huge savings. We were able to get a covered picnic table without running.

On Sunday July 8th, 2018 We started our day trying out the wave pool/wave river. Sign posted said 3ft. My 6 yr old is 3ft 11in. So my son starts to go ahead of us (he was not on a raft) and I was not expecting the waves to be over 6ft high. We come around the corner where the waves start which my son is about 50ft in front of me and my spouse. My son get taken under by a wave he came up crying, there was a life guard right in front of him as me and my spouse are literally rushing to my son. Another life guard was right where me and my spouse was at jumps in and rushing to my son as he went under again. I can say I’m very thankful for the life guard that was doing her job, for the other male who sat an watch my son cry and get taken under not once but twice. Shame on you and I hope no one will ever have to experience that. I highly recommend that signs should be posted letting new guest aware that water gets deeper then 3ft. Very upset and traumatizing for my son. Also give it a two stars as many slides/rides were closed!

We went on a Sunday for the first time ever, we stayed all day and enjoyed the whole experience. They had a couple ride shut down because its the end of the season but it was awesome! We like that if you got in an inner tube you can basically go around and around everything with the slides without having to get outWe will be coming back next year.

I loved this place but I can no longer stand to be there because of the death of caleb on veruct I feel so guilty because I was on the ride in the raft that went before his and I actually traded spots with him to go with my brother If i hadnt traded spots he would still be alive today if it wasnt for me

Their arent that many attractions but the ones they do have are worth the admission cost. It had the best river simulation Ive been on and the slider were a lot of fun. Not to mention the food is actually good, I know it is surprising, but Im not lying. The pizza you can order is better than most chains. Good family fun. And yes, they will find the alcohol no matter where you find it.

Super-friendly staff. Very clean. Free parking. Very clean. reasonable in-park food prices. yes, 2 or 3 rides were closed, but the park communicates this in advance via their Facebook page. Even with the few rides that were closed there is still a TON of water activities for everyone in the family!!

I have not even been here yet as I moved to KC in 2017, after the unfortunate beheading of a 10 yr old on one of their rides. I tried to call just now, and the phone is disconnected.

The park itself is a lot of fun. The lifeguards are super helpful and constantly keeping up on their skills to ensure public safety. Lucky guests can actually witness staged rescues and skill work. The staff are friendly and helpful. The rides are a lot of fun, and competely safe if ridden and used properly according to the rules and instructions set forth by the park.And the use of names belonging to local rivers is super cute. A great place to visit for locals and tourists alike!

I wish more of the slides had been open.. they were closed because they didnt pass inspection. . Could be a great time, if they get it together. Otherwise, we had a great family day!

4 out of 5 stars because one of their rides killed a little boy but other than the deathtrap of a ride it is fun and great for families. One piece of advice I would give any guy is to wear dark sunglasses because you dont want your wife or girlfriend to get mad at you for glancing at a beautiful lady walking by.

Not a lot to do here. You could effectively go on every ride within 4 hours

Love this place!!!!!! ️️️️️ You can bring your own cooler of food and drinks. Ride lines are not long! I can easily spend a whole day here!!!

I cannot EXPRESS ENOUGH How I wont be taking any kids to THIS PARK! NOT EVER! Not even if it was FREE to enter.

I come to Schlitterbahn once a year every year with my significant other, and this year we were highly disappointed. 5 rides were closed, one ride being one that we were looking forward to. The honesty of two life guards is what made us a little happier. Preston and Luke were really nice and listened to my boyfriend and I rant. The lady at Henrys Hideout ( Mackenzie I believe is her name) was also great. She did a great job serving drinks and making guests happy.

I go to the waterpark with my family and without. I am so relaxed there, just floating around. You can bring your own or buy theirs. I like adult only cocktail pool. I cant wait till opening day!

Even though it was packed, it didnt seem crowded inside the park. Lots to do for all ages. Pricing was a little high... example locker rentals $25, if you wanted a cabanna it was $59. Lines for rides were a little lengthy, but we spent most of our day floating around the rapids.

Our yearly trip to Schlitterbahn never dissapoints. Friendly workers, great prices, fun slides and rivers. Spending a day at Schlitterbahn KC is always a great choice. I love that you can bring a cooler of drinks (no alcohol) and food.

A fun filled day! We reserved a small cabana. LOVED IT! You have shaded table and chairs, a valuables safe, free locker in the cabana village, ice bucket and bottled water AND a staff member to take food/drink orders. Also they give you 2 Schlitterbahn Beach Towels. There is a entrance/exit to the water right there in the village which is really nice also.. Worth the extra charge!

We try to come once a year and its usually a great experience. This time was a little different they didnt have all the rides open and it was super upsetting. They told us to come back on the weekend..ok we drove 4hrs and your tickets are super expensive. Hopefully the experience is better next year.

Had a great time here. Park is clean. Staff is friendly. Just know if you arrive early to buy tickets that you cannot enter the park until 11:00 a.m. We rented a cabana which was a bit pricey but was a good place to have lunch and rest. Lockers are included with cabana rental. We had no trouble getting on rides nor was there a shortage of inner tubes. Inner tubes are included with ticket price. My favorite feature is the wave pool. We went during a weekday in July and there were a lot of people but it wasn’t overly crowded. Plan to go again.

5 rides were closed. 2 were slides and 1 was a large Rapids. Also is highly recommended to wear water shoes I would recommend it especially if you have sensitive feet.

Schlitterbahn 2019! I need you to open! This place fits my every need for water park fun!

This was an okay Park but I feel like big surf is just as good if not better and its way closer to where we live. For the cost I feel like all the rides should be open 4 for patrons to use and if not you should not be charging the full price until they are open. You definitely want to pack your own lunch with your own drinks in a cooler to bring with you because the food and drinks are absolutely outrageous. You did have a good time how can you not when water and sun and families involved just feel like it was a rip off and they like to take your money!!

It wasnt bad but weve been to schlitterbahn Galveston and Corpus Christi and expected more. We went during the week and they had about half lazy rivers shut down and said they were only available on the weekend? I mean I could understand if school was in but its summer vacation time.

My husband and I are on a little get a way before I start school again. We are literally sitting in the park right now, paid full price and only HALF of the park is open. The parts closed are the ones we were most excited about too...this is very disappointing when this water park is a big attraction in KC. I wish we could get our money back. This experience will stop me from coming back and bringing my family back.

Its a great water park with the best possible setup for families with older kids. It all kind of goes in a circle so you can have them check in whenever they pass by. Weve always been able to find a nice shaded place to park our things that we could use as a home base. So nice that you can bring your own food and drinks in. We usually still end up getting either some snacks or lunch from their concessions that are relatively reasonable for the setting. Free parking is awesome too! We are always able to find staff to address any issues we see or need help with.

We used to love coming- last time we went last mont, half the park was closed down, including the entire rapids (the best part)... and 4 of the slides...and no one informed us of that at the desk and of course didn’t offer a discount

Well was great until it never opened again! Seems closed for 2019

Schlitterbahn is a small water park but still a good time. The good things about it: short wait times for water slides, the rivers are no wait and relaxing, there are private areas to rent for the day complete with great wait services and free souviners, you can bring your own food and water into the park, no cost for parking, gift shop has great prices for clothes, swimwear and more. Schlitterbahn has heroes days which are recognizing military personnel, police, firefighters and EMS.... this year... the last weekend in May and every weekend through July 1st offered free admission to the above mentioned and 50% off for family members. These discounts make it a very affordable option for a family trip. The not great: customer relations staff are not courteous, quick or welcoming, about 1/4 of the park was shut down and bathrooms were out of toilet paper midday.

Ive been a season pass holder for 4 years and will likely not renew after this season. They changed their mid week hours at the beginning of the season (with no prior notice) to close earlier. Unfortunately this meant I could no longer go after work for a relaxing evening. Weekends regularly get filled with other activities so this made this last season not worth the price for me. Was very disappointed in this change that hurt season pass holders the most.

They dont even have the decency to tell anyone they will or will not be open for 2019. Its just shy of a month from when it should open so clearly they will not be opening as they have not even hired staff.

Oh what fun i had and met 3 wonderful chriatian women there who 2 were sisters. And the 3rd was everyonea friend. Clean place love the lazy river for ever.

Last 5 years...great thats why i gave a 2...but this year..drove 4 hours just for the torrent river and rapids and those to attractions were closed. Under staffed was the problem but come on, i can ride tube slides at any water park...the rapids and torrent river is what makes this park unique and they were both closed. I think well try the texas parks next.

A lot of the better slides where closed. The kids enjoyed it. Not worth the price compared to New Braunfels. Small enough to let your kids hit the rides and parents relax.

Nice park. fun water attractions but a kid died on that tall slide a few years ago. Glad they took it down. I think the park is safe to go to now.

Perfect for all ages. We had a lot of fun. Be prepared to pay 25$ one locker but it is worth it.

A few more slides and one or two more bars would be great. Itd be nice if all attractions opened when the park opened too, like Kaw didnt open til noon last time we went. But its a fun place, lines for slides werent horrible for a Saturday.

If I would rate more than 5 stars, I WOULD!!! Their prices are a little high, but OH MY GOD is it fun there! In The torrent river, I would stand by the wave generator and go in the whirlpool it created. SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!

Way overpriced!!! They want to charge full price for half of a park. Worlds fo fun/Oceans of fun has 2 full parks you can go back and forth between for the same price.

Best place to go on your birthday.

Good rides, too much death. Two stars.

I love Schlitterbahn! The park has the best lazy river of any waterpark that I ever visited. The rides and rivers are a lot of fun!

I love this place I hope it opens soon

The park was way more fun than I expected, I figured my two young boys would enjoy it and that my Wife and I would just kind of be there for them. Turns out that She and I had quite a lot of fun, I expected to get banged around on slides and for things to be over priced but thats just not the case. Everything was reasonably priced, clean, happy, and friendly. The slides were all well made and fast, yet somehow I never was uncomfortable. The lazy river was really long and had an optional rapids portion that was so fun my Wife made us do it twice. The wave pool was made very cool with a wave corridor to ride through. Just overall a great time.

Miss it this year please open back up

The family and I have been to this location a couple of times from out of state, we really enjoyed it every times. We came during the week so there wasnt a significant wait for anything and the kids were just old enough to enjoy 90% of the rides. We have young children so we splurged a little and opted to get cabanas which proved worthwhile for the kids had somewhere to nap after tons of fun in the sun. The food wasnt terrible for park food, and cabana service was always pleasant.

In the past I got passes to Oceans of fun, but this past summer I decided to try out Schlitterbahn and guess what, it sucks. It is way too much money for what they offer. their rides suck and all of their tubes were deflated so when you went down the slides you went really slow like. Definitely go to Oceans of fun (right next to Worlds of fun which is also fun, they are all one park now, so Schlitterbahn has a long way to go to even semi compete with Oceans/Worlds of fun), GO TO OCEANS AND WORLDS OF FUN!

Worth the drive from Tulsa. The staff is very helpful and courteous, this goes a long way in making the customers experience more enjoyable. Tip... if you want to ride the worlds tallest water slide with ease when you arrive in the park go and set a reservation time then go back at the designated time. You dont have to stand in line waiting.

Love this park we come every year but this year we were very disappointed we left after only being there for 2 hours. I drove to Kansas from Colorado springs with 8 teenagers for a 3 day vacation at the waterpark and worlds of fun too. As I do every year. This year schlitterbahn only had 4 rides open in the whole park! Waist of $300.

Good family fun!!

This was an enjoyable water park and free parking! I rate a 4 because I must compare to other water parks I have been to and I have visited better. I managed to visit every ride in the park in about 2 1/2 hours so its quick to experience.

6.18.18/ Gen Admit (2) adult + (1) child = $99.99// Despite knowing several of the attractions were DOA; this day has hemmorhged one disappointment after another. The community pool would have been much more satisfying. Would NEVER recommend this facility. BTW: the site should list what is open vs. closed.

Had an awesome time here! Not too crowded on Tuesday. Were a little disappointed that a large part was closed though (only open weekends).

I don’t ever write reviews but these are the things I wish I knew before we planned a family trip just to go to Schlitterbahn: 1. Inefficient check in process. Took almost an hour even tho I had already purchased my tickets online. 2. We found out once we arrived that our favorite part of the park, King Kaw, was shut down due to lack of staff. 3. There is only one place to order food. We ordered and were waiting in line to receive our food and realized they were filling the orders sporadically with no rhyme or reason. So we waited almost an hour and ended up with only part of our food. We went to get a refund for the part of our ticket we didn’t receive. They did end up refunding our whole order because they don’t have a system for partial refunds. 4. Staff had a very “I don’t care” attitude. I asked several questions throughout the day to different staffers and the reoccurring answer was “I don’t know. That’s another department.” It’s seems they are all just wanting the summer season to end. 5. Maintenance of the park overall is lacking. We were there 3 years ago and the atmosphere now is totally different. Our last visit was before the tragic accident. I sure hope they can recover and turn things around soon. One big plus was computerized lockers so you don’t have to keep up with the key and that way anyone in your group can access the box.

Had a Great time, cannot wait to go back. This visit was even better than the visit 2 years ago. Felt safe and the staff was very courteous and helpful.

Interesting. Kind of reminded me of National Lampoons Summer Vacation at first. But the slides were fun and the two Rivers were so much fun.

Ride experience were awesome! Very helpful and attentive life guards. Swim up bar was fantastic and a lot of fun. Food vendors in the other hand were very rude and careless. Will bring own food if I return.

I love Schlitterbahn, I have a season pass and I still enjoy doing the rides and doing a float around the park. The best part about the Schlitterbahn waterpark is that you can get in a tube, and if you want, stay in the tube for an hour or so just floating around the park until you get back to your destination. Always a good time, and the member perks encourage you to enjoy the park with friends.Highly recommend.

We used to come to schlitterbahn every year. But this year was really disappointing. 5 rides were closed, one of which was my favorite. Under staffed is a big problem from my understanding this year. Sad to see it going down hill.

When I went here, I just had this weird feeling that something was off. Its really easy to get separated from your group and its dangerously overcrowded a lot of the time. Other than that its just your typical water park.

Down with the whole park. Your no good and you never were

Its a fun place to go on a hot day. But rides are closed and they close the eating and drinks stands way to early!

Me and my King had an awesome time together, we were just upset that the whole park wasnt available for use. The did give us two tickets for free admission good thru next year. I guess we went too late in the season

Rent private boat cabana well worh it and get own servers to bring your drinks. Free lockers come with it well worth it.

I love the free parking, tubes and the ability to bring our own drinks and food in. My children love all of the water options! Relaxing day out.

If your kids are not 48 inches tall, do not waste your money or time at Schlitterbahn. We had two highly disappointed kids that were not able to ride the Wolfpack even though their website says you only have to be 42 to ride. When we got there all water slides were 48 and taller. There is 1 smaller slide for kids over 42 inches (and its not that good). We picked Schlitterbahn over other water parks because they had a slide for kids over 42. We were very disappointed in the lack of variety as our options were a lazy river or the kiddie area

If there was a 3.5 I would give it to them, while they have some great rides, the lines are long. They need a system to notify when the next rider can go, and they need some music playing too. It was almost weird that there was no music.Great place to take kids though.

For the money its worthless. 42$ for like 6 slides and a hot tub/ kids pool. (by the way why is the swim up bar a hot tub and why are there children in it?) When we went to the park ALL bathrooms were closed inside the park. The only working bathroom was at the front entrance before you enter the park. Im pretty sure most people were peeing in the pool/water. Before we left I spoke to a manager at Schlitterbahn. (Im pretty easy to work with which might be why I got nothing) I expressed to the manager that it was extremely inconvenient to walk all the way to the entrance of the park to use the restroom. (Again Im easy to work with, would have taken almost anything, ANY form of compensation would have kept me happy) the managers response was we have a no refund policy my response I understand you have a no refund policy but what are you going to do to make my inconvenient experience better? Her response There isnt anything we can do. I would have been happy with a here is a 10% coupon at our souvenir shop. Instead I get nothing. My wife was literally moments away from buying a dress inside schlitterbahn, I stopped her and told her were not spending another penny here.

Lets start with good thing - they allow packed food and sealed drinks inside.Thats the only good thing I can say about this water park.Dont be fooled by the attractions listed out in the website... each actual attraction is listed with multiple names on the website. So the first thing you will feel after entering the park is what am I going to do full day here?. Yes, all you need is couple of hours to cover all the stuff in the park and Im not exaggerating! Do yourself a favor by spending $40 on something worthwhile!

Place needs redo the stained woodwork, plants are burned up and dying from lack of water. Very sad to see it looking so rough considering cost of admission fees, family bathroom had urine all over floors, lots of bugs in the water. Very pricey for the park access per person. Glad we used Groupon! Far different experience than previous visits. Needs some bright colors & TLC to bring it up to speed and not so sad looking.

The family loves going there. Super clean water and friendly staff

Super fun.. super good food and dessert... Every one Is nice and friendly I would come every day If I could

Highly recommend! We had a great time. They are a little short staffed so 5 of the attractions were closed (thats why 4 and not 5 Stars were given) but there was still more than enough to do and we had a great day! We took four teenagers and one 6 yr old and everyone had fun. There is something for all ages and that is what made Schlitterbahn worth the 3 hour drive.The tragic event that took place a few years ago and knowing the slide is still standing (until all legal action is done) had me a little worried and had delayed our making the trip.I am now happy to say that the staff was all so friendly, the park was very clean and the fact that we could bring in a cooler with food and drinks all made for one great family day.

There is a lot of misinformation from other reviewers about this place. I tried to talk my friends out of going here based on those reviews. Im glad they didnt listen to me. We had a great time.However, Id like to clarify a few things:1. Yes there is a lazy river (Many reviews say they dont have one). Its huge. Part of the river has waves. If you dont like that, stick with the other 70% of the river that does not have waves. The River runs the entire length of the park in a circle and we enjoyed it quite a bit. If you stay there, it probably takes over an hour to go around it completely. The water is shallow. I think it has a max depth of around 4ft so even if you arent a confident swimmer you should be able to stand up as an adult. Small Children can get life vests.2. Yes, the tallest attraction is decommissioned. A 10 year old child died there. I dont know what they plan to do with that slide. It sounds like it will be torn down at some point. Other reviewers said they still advertised the slide. I didnt see that anywhere. If you ask any of the kiosk attendants , Im sure they would tell you its not being used. This should also be obvious even from the highway given that there is no line to get up there even when the park is busy.3. Yes they serve alcohol. There are large frozen margaritas available for $10. You get to keep the cup they give you and they were generous with the booze. The Bartender was also a cool dude.4. No you dont have to pay for parking. Its free.5. Yes you do have to pay for storage. I didnt pay for that but I think they said it was around $20 for the entire day. The locker is large. In our case, it fit 2 bags and clothes with room to spare.Other than the things mentioned above, the staff was nice and helpful. Mostly young 20 somethings working for the summer but they were pleasant and I think they did a good job with safety.It is very reasonably priced. Admission for one adult is about $60 after tax. If you come after 3pm, I think its half that. Im not sure what water parks you are going to if you think $60 for an entire day is totally unreasonable.Overall, Id recommend the experience. Especially if youre looking to drink margaritas and ride the lazy river all day. If youre looking for extreme water slides and long lines, maybe go elsewhere.

Schlitterbahn is very fun! People complain about the lines but all u got to do is go on another ride and come back to the other and the line wouldnt be so long. The water is clean and Schlitterbahn is clean. Very Nice people working there and they is very easy to get to. The water is not very deep and it is safe because they have life jackets and life guards everywhere. I would love if they can make more rides and more slides cause people love that!
