I think the price point is nice for those 48 inches or taller. The park is clean well kept and is staffed well (which you don’t often see). The staff is also very nice. I have one complaint which is the reason for my low rating. I wanted to be clear about this because this next part might not matter to others. My complaint is the arbitrary rule of anyone 42 inches or under has to wear a life vest. Life vests are often a great safety device for those that are non swimmers/poor swimmers/less confident swimmers. I was a lifeguard myself for years. I have been apart of intervention in plenty of over 42 inch swimmers at risk of drowning. So 42 inches is nothing more than theater safety. It would be nice if they had a risk of swim assessment that my daughter could have taken. They have enough staff to handle these requests. My daughter is a small almost 6 year old who has completed infant survival and invited to be on a competition swim team. She couldn’t use all of the features at the park to her full enjoyment. It would have been nice if she could have at least used the pool without a life vest. For a kid that can swim bouncing around in the pool is not quite as exciting. She enjoyed the tiny slide they had for her height. She has been on bigger ones but stated she had fun. We were only in town for the week, but I wouldn’t be a repeat customer.

My wife and I went there with two grand kids for about 5 hours. They charge $12/adult and $10 per child ($44 total). Although it did not "break the bank", I can imagine there are many families who cannot afford this. When you arrive they thoroughly search bags and purses-- ensuring nobody brings in food or drink (including water bottles). They had a stash of confiscated water bottles and drinks next to the guy searching our bag. This, of course means people will be spending another $20-40 on drink and food/snacks. Again, that really penalizes lower income families-- especially larger families. The facility itself is very nice-- with tables with large umbrellas and beach chaises. I was surprised to find out that their large private lounging areas rent for $110 for the day!! In conclusion, this is a very nice water park-- in very good condition. There is an area for toddlers, younger kids, a small "flowing river", and a large general purpose pool. We enjoyed our time there, but personally think it is too pricey for many El Pasoans. Maybe they could consider promotions to discount the entry price?

What a fun time. There's something for all ages. Night swimming is the best, especially here, where it's still 100 degrees at 10 pm. The only reason I gave this a low score was there was a spot where people would slip. My husband fell & hurt his knee. The staff came asked if he was ok, he was but still I was a little concerned. I don't know how many people fell before it was addressed, and even then, it was scary not to fall. Other than that, it was awesome, and there was an abundance of staff everywhere. Fun environment definitely a yrly go to for me from here on out!

The park is clean, lots of safety guards on site and plenty of areas to sit in sun or shade. No outside food or drinks are permitted. You are allowed to bring an empty water bottle that you can refill. Food is pricey. Staff is courteous and helpful.

We on opening weekend. My grandkids had a blast. Only complaint was it took a long time to enter park, but they were training new staff and it seemed like a long process for season ticket holders. We will be back!
