“Fun for a day”

Reviewed 22 May 2012

Family fun, if you go when it is not peak season, otherwise too crowded. Food prices are reasonable in the waterpark. Go in the early summer to enjoy the outside pools.

“Family Fun”

Reviewed 22 May 2012

An all inclusive water park for family fun time.... Eat , sleep and play together , along with hundreds of other families. Accommodations are adequate, service is generally good, and service people are both helpful and friendly. Water water everywhere..fun rides , high noise levels. Pricey, but judging from crowds, people don't seem to mind paying. Once was enough for... More

Thank you Brandi for visiting us and reviewing our Waterpark! With having an indoor/outdoor, occasionally the leaves can blow in the outdoor part, we do our best to keep this clean, but I will send this to our waterpark manager so that we keep a closer eye on it. Also, thank you for the information about the garbage, I will... More

“Only go if it's not crowded”

Reviewed 14 May 2012

person found this review helpful

We went during the first week of April, so it was spring break time. They were at capacity. One lady stood in line with a stroller for awhile, just to get to the cashier and they told her it was completely full. She was not very happy. So, check by phone before parking and walking in for tickets. Even though... More

“Not "Beyond Expectations" 5/11 & 5/12/2012”

Reviewed 13 May 2012

people found this review helpful

The one toddler pool was closed and the water in the Kid's Safari area was freezing cold (too cold for my toddler). I spoke to a waterpark manager, Kaleb, on Friday and they gave me some line about how they may or may not open the toddler pool due to not having a lot of volume in the park. So,... More

“The Kids Will Ask to Go Again”

Reviewed 11 May 2012

We went on a Tuesday through Wednesday at the beginning of May. We went with a large group which gave us an amazing priced deal for one night in the hotel and two nights at the waterpark. It is their low season, so the crowds were greatly less than on a weekend or during their busy season. I felt it... More

“Safety is not a priority at Kalahari”

Reviewed 5 May 2012

person found this review helpful

Kalahari has a very poorly planned and executed response system when guests are injured. It is amateur at best, and staff are not trained to alert a safety team (if there even IS a safety team) when guests report injuries.
