Now add the fee charged to rent a locker for your belongings and you've spent your entire paycheck. You are not permitted to bring any outside food into the park including beverages so plan on spending $4.00 for every bottle of water purchased and expect lunch (which is at best average at any of the food outlets) to be ridiculously priced as well. Everyone is forced to pay admission (rather exorbitant) just to enter the park even if someone in your party perhaps a grandparent is not planning on participating in any water activites. The park will be overflowing with visitors and what feels like hundreds of day campers from the moment of your arrival. I'll go in our backyard pool or to the ocean.Įxpect heat stroke and handing over a week's salary if you plan on visiting Splish Splash during July and August. So, no more season passes for us unless this park makes some major improvements. The souvenir refillable mug is a good value though. Beware though, it's expensive (moreso than a regular Johnny Rockets location) and even if you don't want french fries with your hamburger or hotdog, you have to pay for them. There is a Johnny Rockets located by that wave pool so at least there is somewhere new to eat lunch. The only positive thing I can say is that at the newer wave pool area they have plenty of lounge chairs.in the sun, thank you (because the rest of the park is all shade) and the bathrooms in that area are new and clean. So you pay to park and then have the option of paying even more if you want a good spot. So, if we get there a little after ten, with plenty of spaces near the front, we still have to park a ways away because they're saving the good spots for people who have paid for preferred parking. Now they charge you for preferred parking if you want a good spot. ![]() ![]() In the past, if you arrived at the park early, you were able to park very close to the entrance gates which was great. The staff might want to check the Splish Splash website which states plastic bottled water MAY may be brought in. One time a staff member at the front made my daughter throw out two (yes two) tiny gummi bears that she forgot were in her beachbag. ![]() Seriously, they need to tone it down a notch. You are not allowed to bring any food or beverage into the park which is understandable but the teen "security" at the front gate check and rummage through your bags as if they worked for homeland security. Oh, but to get in the wave pool, you first have to make your way past people laying down in the shallow end, sitting around or making out. Sooooo, you get to go in an overcrowded wavepool and swim next to people wearing dress shirts and leggings and sundresses and jeans, and float around in a pool with bandaids, hair ties, and clumps of hair. I think the only day I've seen them both open is on the 4th of July. Their radio commercial states "Two huge wavepools, twice the fun!!!".that would be true if both wavepools were open at the same time. ANd.you will wait forever to go on the rides. If you decide to eat there, good luck finding a table to eat at. Tons of unsupervised teens running around (and nearly trampling people) and cutting lines. There are busloads of camp kids and busloads of city people. FIrst of all, the place is WAY too crowded. Like others have said, this place has gone downhill in the past few years. I don't know what my husband was thinking when he bought season passes for Splish Splash.
