There is manageable queue just at the time of entering and that is because of a weekend peak hour plus bag checking process. Once you enter, you don't find it crowded at all. The water park is a part of year round pass of Great Americas for...Read More

Great for kids (there are areas specific to age), plenty of restrooms and food nearby, and places to buy water friendly attire and towels if needed. There are several lifeguards and staff monitoring play areas.

It's fun for the kids... But like the rest of Great America, if there is a line, it's either at least a 20 minutes for a 40 second thrill. But the time you get to get the slide you're already dry and the...Read More

We had a great time here with the kids. Rented a cabana and went in and out of the park. When it got to hot we went and cooled off in the pool. Sad the bay area is losing such an awesome asset.
