Fun place but WAY overpriced. Long lines for the major slides. Food court is ok, nothing special.

It seems like a long drive out to McMinnville but it's a great vacation destination with the waterpark and the museum next door. Lots of activities in the waterpark. Nice warm place to burn off energy on a cold day. You can go as a "non-swimmer". The admission seemed a bit steep at $25/$30 but they have implemented a scholarship... More

A fun option on a rainy day in Oregon. We spent all day at the museum and then the water park. Just the novelty of it all was worth the price. An indoor water park with a real 747 mounted on the roof!! My teenage kids loved it and my seven year old never wanted to leave. Was it a... More

We've now been twice. The first time, they had just opened and even though it was a Saturday, it was not busy at ALL. Also, then they included the museum in the admission price, so it was a decent-ish value. The second time we went was over Spring Break and it was truly horrible. Just ridiculously long waits--and I say... More

We went here twice during the month and had 2 very different experiences. Our 1st was on a Friday afternoon on which they were only open for a half day. This was our very first visit to the waterpark and we were pleasantly surprised. Lines were not very long, it was clean and the staff was very friendly and there... More

Yes, its expensive, yes the lines are long, yes its loud. But thats just because everyone agrees - its lots of fun! The facility was very clean, easy to navigate and above all warm and toasty. They also play fun music. All the staff that we made contact with or observed was on point. The lines for the big slides... More

Went with friends and their kids for membership appreciation day, only ten dollars ea, usually much more. The rides are great, the hot tub hot, and the wave pool is really good. The food was expensive and food service quality, we also brought a picnic. We all had a great time and slept well that night. Favorite slide: the toilet... More

We went on a Sunday and were concerned from reading other reviews that the lines would be bad. Never materialized. The longest we ever had to wait was maybe 10 minutes. Usually there was zero wait or just a few minutes. Really fun time. If you stay at the Comfort Inn down the street you get a discount on tickets... More

Yes, it does cost $30 to get in. Yes, it can be crowded if you go during peak times like holidays and summer. So GO NOW! Last weekend was perfect with low attendance, minimal wait on the slides, and an abundance of innertubes. We got there at noon (there were approx. 90 cars in the parking lot, way below capacity)...
