Wild Waters

My son, his friend and I had lots of fun in the "wave pool"! I rented a double floaty and we were all hanging from it in 8 ft of water while the waves were crushing us! It was loads of fun for them. It was very safe. Had 4 lifeguards alongside the pool and one at the end of the pool so it is very safe for non-advance swimmers.

They also had water slides. The Big Blue one I think names "Ocala's revenge" was awesome! Little rough but very exciting! There were lifeguards at the end of the each slide!

It was a perfect way for us to end our summer vacation in Ocala after swimming in the natural Springs! Would definitely go back!

Wild Waters may be a bit less cutting edge then some of the Orlando water parks, but it is always less crowded, and the rides are just as good. Plus, it's cheaper too!

The Good:

Lots of Rides: From the classic Hurricaine (it's been there for like, 20 years) to the fantastic Bunyan;'s bend and the crazy Osceola's revenge, there is a lot of fun to be had here. And the kids' rides here aren't so shabby either. The mini monster delivers some genuine thrills for the young ones, which is great, so they don't feel left out.

Cheap!: Day passes will run you about $25 bucks a head and season passes are only $40. I mean you can go here all year for the price of going to the orlando water parks for just one day. Sweeeeet!

The Bad:

Same old, same old. : You know how a lot of parks get new rides every two or three years? Not so with Wild Waters. I think they get a new ride every seven or eight. I mean like nothing changed here from when I was 8 to eighteen. That says something.....

I really love Wild Waters, and it really is a great value for your money. So check it out!

Overall= 8.3/10 Wild Water Fun!

I want to give this place four stars because we had a good time, then I remember part of the reason we had a good time is because we did not pay to get int.

Yes, we went so late in the day that we walked right in, with about an hour until the park closed we were able to get on all the slides, meaning a. this place is tiny and b. if we had to pay to get in we definitely would have thought it overpriced.

They provide lockers, rentals for the wave pool and a couple of refreshment stands, other than that this place is a glorified backyard hose down.

My daughter went on two rides and wanted to leave. This was her choice of special places to visit while visiting Florida. And now she wont stop crying!
Never again!! A true waste of my money & time!!

I don't care what they say, I went yesterday and had a blast with my 7 year old son and 69 year old mother!! Yes this is an old park, but it isn't
run down, dirty or lacking in fun things to do. When we arrived, I did notice a lack of chairs for everyone, as people put their towels down never to return, but we combatted that problem by renting a cabana for $50 and boy was it worth it. We had our own chairs, shade and table to eat on. Since you can't bring in coolers, you have to eat there and the shaded tables fill up around lunch time. We bought food from the snack bar and then retreated to our covered cabana to eat in peace and comfort. It is weird that you have to rent floats for the wave pool, but we got in for $12 each via a great internet deal on their website so I didn't mind the $6 for the all day float usage. All six slides were operational and fun. Short lines for all but the Alligator. The lifeguards were nice and helpful and gave park information when asked. I did notice a distinct wet dog smell when up high on the slides, so the animals next door at Silver Springs we're wafting over, or the slide ramps have begun to show their age. I can't wait to go back next year.

Wild waters is a great park in need of a little bit a repair. It seems to me the economy has hit the park as well and have not been putting as much money or time into maintenance. Some of the water slide have been down for much of the season and many of the water slides are very slow. Seems like they need a new gel coat on the fiberglass flumes. Even with the maintenance issues wild waters is still by far the best entertainment value for families in ocala. The annual pass which includes silver spring as well is by far the best deal in town. Spend the day at the park to see how much value you get for less than 50 dollars.

Back in Action! Prices were lower last year as they renovated the park ready for the real grand opening. This summer Wild Waters is back to its ole glory. If you live in the area or you are just visiting, a season pass is well worth the price. Open only for the weekends until June. Starting in June they will open full time. My kids are pumped. Great spots in the park for all ages. My favorite ride is the hurricane.

Great place for the kids. Must buy season pass, well worth it. Huge wave pool. Great for a hot day but must have season pass. Can get pricey if only pay for one day admission.

We got an online deal for $12 so i wasnt as disappointed as i would have been if i paid the normal $32. Nevertheless this place is a bit of a junker. The biggest rip off is the lockers, its 7 bucks for a small locker that typically costs 50 cents at other parks. A close second is they charge you 6 dollars to get a raft just for the wave pool. The rides are short and uneventful. The only plus was the $9 tall beers. I would pump out more money to go to a bigger park with more variety. However, if you have tattoos and three children this is your place.

This park is small but my kids who are 5 and 1 loved it. The staff and managers are awesome. We had a slight issue that was resolved quickly. It's a little pricey but the groupon helped. There were hardly any lines and it was a Saturday. We will definitely go back when I pass through Ocala.
