I visited the Island Waterpark for the first time in probably 20 years 🙃. I forgot how fun some of the slides are. We rented a cabana in the kid swim area as we were celebrating a children's birthday. The kid area is really cool,.I don't remember it having so many cool water slides for the little ones. I like how this park is mapped out, there were groups of slides about 3 to 4 slides per area. So you could go to one area and then go on multiple slides and work your way through them. The lazy river was probably my fabric part, relaxing and refreshing. They no longer allow rafts on the wave pool, which I think is great, it's much safer that way. We went on a weekday and there was no crowds. The longest we waited for a slide was maybe 10 minutes. I do wish there were more trees and green spaces here, most of the park is cement and canopies, but not too many shaded green spaces. It's also right next to the 99 freeway so pollution and noise is a factor, more green spaces would do a lot for this Waterpark. It's $40 a ticket and a $5 processing fee online, parking is another $5. I think that's a bit steep for a water park, I'm sure it also takes a lot of money to operate a water park. Regardless, it's a nice experience with the family.

visited this place first time. This place is clean and looking new.
Restroom and changing room also clean .
Wave pool is clean and well maintained.good water force.

Kids slide and play area is cool with good choice of slides. Adults can join children on the slides. There are other water features to play around with too. I’m giving 4 stars because the little kids water slide area was more for 5 years and up. The water pressure was too hard and somewhat frightening for a little one.
I love this place, but according to me, it’s expensive.

Haven't been in years but we had a wonderful time. So much fun. Be sure to ask when you enter the park what time they close. The website showed 6pm but they stayed open until 8. No alcohol is allowed so don't t try to sneak it in they'll catch you.

I & my adult grandson had a blast.!! We went during the week, and it was not packed, which was great. The strawberry funnel cake was off the hook & yummy! The wave pool was where we spent most of our time... I didn't rent a cabana cause it was just us 2. However, upon entering the park, I was informed of tables with shade that we could utilize for no charge. It all worked out perfectly! Thank you, Island Waterpark, for the fun we were able to have😊

This is the best fun place for us. Each year we were going far away places to spend our hot days but now my kids are here every other day. I bought 10 season tickets this year and will buy every year from now on inshallah.

It’s so hot now!! So get out to Island Waterpark for a day in the sun with the whole family. If you’re local, it’s best to get the season pass because you definitely get your moneys worth just by going 2-3 times during the summer. Otherwise it’s 39.99 regular admission. Senior discount is available and children under 2 are granted free admission. Season pass allows 1 buddy pass per card so bring a friend (except holidays, i.e. 4th of July). You may bring your own food/snacks/coolers/beverages (no alcohol) but there is a bar there for some adult fun. My $14 Big Wave Kona beer (24oz) needed to be colder though because it got warm really soon. Step up the bar service Island Waterpark! Restrooms/showers, locker rentals, floaties rentals. convenience store for that item you forgot are all located inside. Have fun and don’t forget the sunscreen!

The Island has changed:( More expensive with less amenities. A serious divide has taken place among the have and the have-nots😳 Extremely expensive for minimum experience!
The slides are good and the life guards are serious but I was very disappointed that lounge chairs were not available to our family as before😟With a full day of fun in the hot sun, my only option was to rent a cabana for another $80-$150!!! WHAT!!😡 Otherwise only plastic bench or hot cement.
My family set up at the lazy river where there are trees. The nearby cabanas were empty all day. Apparently no one rents them. Yet the lounge chairs had to remain empty. I understand the principle that if someone rents a cabana they should have enough lounges for their family. Yet The Island should take a look at their demographic and find another way to be profitable. So much money and no comfortable seat? Unacceptable!! I won’t go back. I don’t have the budget for a park that seems to only want to profit from the families who keep it in business. I have been going since 2000. After Covid we stopped. First time back and so very disappointed🫢Won’t be surprised if they go out of business!!! No Respect!

-$50 (including tax) per person
-$5 day parking
-$10/$12 Tube rental

We are a family of 5 = $357

*Brought our own food and drinks! Phew!

Good for the kids, the people working the slides need to train more to be more time efficient. Food is alright. Drinks are okay. Overall the most fun experience I had in the area.

The prices weren’t bad! I love the fact you can bring your own food and beverages! You just have to carry them. Suggestion bring a wagon.. the park was clean and my grandson had the best time ever… they need better pricing for season tickets…
