This is a must see if you are in San Antonio the restaurant has an amazing view good food & service. Lil spendy but I understand this isn't you average dining experience as the floor slowly rotates as you eat giving you a view of San Antonio from 700+ ft in the air. The 4D theater short films were a riot they are only 20 minutes but worth it and free with the pass. I recommend going at more towards the evening so you can see views in daylight and night as well.
Finally! After years of driving by I went here. It's a really nice park. The Tower has several things you can do. Go to observation deck very informative walls, eat at the restaurant, watch short 4D movies, gift shop,
Cleanliness/usability of changing/shower area is a huge concern - showers hose fixtures broken/removed, some drains clogged, and hair in every shower stall during our 2 week swim lessons. Otherwise, great place to go to swim, but skip the bathrooms and get the car seats wet.
My grandchildren love to come here. We usually go in the evenings for a discounted price and we have a ball. They have everything the kids would enjoy. Big watersides, a kiddie pool with slides, and a play area have diving boards and large pools for younger kids and older kids and adults. The snack bar is great. The most impressive thing was the lifeguards. They are on it. This is a great family place!
This place is absolutely fantastic. I would give the place a five-star, but the lines and the price of food bring it down. If you're staying along while I recommend packing food and bringing food with you drinks waters etc
Always well kept clean and safe park. Has everything for singles or families. Playgrounds for children, tennis courts, basketball courts, water park (during summer dates), pet friendly park (leashes mandatory), walking or jogging pathways around entire park, picnic tables, barbque and on special event days you can pre-order gazebos! Public restrooms, vending machines. The park does have closing hours so I suggest you pay attention to times or you will be ran out. Usually 10:00 p.m. Safe park and well established area. Beautiful park!
(Swim lesson area) The swimming coaches are exceptional, and the water quality and maintenance are excellent. I haven't found a place quite like this elsewhere. There are limited shaded areas while waiting during the peak season (summer), and the food ordering staff can be a bit territorial with the shades for their customers, but it's not a major issue.
Had a blast today with my grandson and my wife. The park was very clean, well organized, and well staffed. We will no doubt be returning and possibly getting annual passes for next year.
Booked a birthday party with the Wave, cabana 11. Overall, the experience was good. I upgraded to a larger cabana, unfortunately it was not partitioned off like the screened in cabanas. Even though we had the tables decorated and we were clearly having a party it did not stop people from coming into the space for shade. We even had people sit at the tables in the space we rented. People repeatedly came into our cabana and tried to take our double tube rentals. It was a really hot day, but by the time we got our soft serve ice cream it was very melted and dripping everywhere. I also think that people who are there for a birthday party should not wait in the general admission line. We were carrying stuff and had a reserved space, it was unnecessary to be in the general admission line. There is room for improvement, but the kids had fun with the water park experience.
2 pools a baby splash pad, lazy river , and children’s splash pad with slides. You can’t beat this water park. $15 for adults and $10 for kids if you’re not a city resident. Well worth it for a day of fun. Serve food snacks and drinks at standard pricing so bring a cooler instead.
Great place to have a birthday party. I recommend you do the cabana rental to make sure you have space reserved for your group. They offer 8$ for a burger, chips & soda when you rent the cabana. (Up to 20ppl) Fair prices for other consessons. You do have to go out of the pool if you want cake. We usually do it @ the park pavilion & open gifts there. (If not rented, it's on the other side of the parking lot) They do stamp your hand to get back into the pool area. The life guards are attentive & there is a good amount of them. They do a safety break every hr. There is also a small skate park in the back corner of the parking lot (free) & a small playground neer the pavilion.
Really nice water park. It was inexpensive, clean and perhaps OVERLY safe. Some concessions available. Restroom and changing facilities were clean and overall staff was friendly and knowledgeable. There was a lazy river, 4 slides, 2 diving boards and several shallow pools. Lots for infants and toddlers as well as a dry play structure. Plenty of shade but bring a chair or towel to sit on. Noon to 7pm.
The splash pad was great. We had a birthday party there and shelter tables were very dirty. And there was trash every where. We had to pay 60.00 to rent the shelter and had to pick up trash. Does anyone monitor them?
My son had such an amazing time I seen cleaners all day our room was clean I wish they would turn a couple of them into villas they had things planned for the kids during our stay kids Dj with glow party foam party at the water park sat we will be back I have nothing bad to say the life Guards are amazing I’m coming back with a group 2025 right in the middle of everything
Tower of the Americas wzs a lot of fun. An exciring elevator ride to the observation deck. Fantastic views of the San Antonio area. Beautiful water fountains on the ground. The 4D theater is included in the price. Saw an Angry Birds movie. Another about Texas as seen from a helicopter. A fun and must see experience for sll.
Price is not 4$! That's the lap swim not the water park. It is 27$ each.
Lockers were 6$ each. Parking is free.
Brought my own food.
Lots of chlorine. But better safe than sorry.
Kids loved it. It's a better price than Knotts and closer than Hurricane harbor. 🌀

My kids love this place!! It's free for everybody and we all have a blast here. I love the area because there's a great playground, ball courts, sheltered picnic tables with park grills and restrooms, as well. The splash pad is in a sunny area but, with in eye sight are shade trees that I sit under and watch my kids play. It's also very neat and clean. It's really a wonderful place for families with children.
Really fun and inexpensive place to enjoy with the family. We loved the lazy river and kids had fun trying to surf.
The management and staff here are poor. They closed the free rec swim and second pool without reason.
Additionally, they limit the use of the lap pool to half capacity because they wont fully staff it with their lifeguards.
Give this place a miss.

I did not really like this place the lazy river was packed and really crowded. The pools were all closed the restroom was super dirty and had dirt all over. When I went to get a funnel cake the total was 14 dollars and I had a 20 dollar bill I couldn’t but cause they did not give out change. It had to be exactly 14 dollars. The only good part was the slides and only three of them were open the park is super small and it’s to crowded. And to get in you have to wait in line
Kids had an amazing time with their friends at The Wave. Food at the concessions was priced right, too. The hot dogs and pizzas seemed to be everyones favorite choice. The day of fun certainly didn't break the bank. With the persistent warm weather this summer, the kids are already asking when we can come back again.
First time visitor. The price point for the space seems fair. But if there’s even a hint of possible lightning within 10 mile radius at any time during your visit be prepared to be kicked out and wait 30 minutes any time their app tells them there has been lightning within 10 miles of the park. We got there when they opened probably got to be in the water 15 minutes and got kicked out for 2 hours. We were let back in only to be kicked out again not even 10 minutes in. Needless to say the visit was a disappointment. I’d say if there’s a chance of thunderstorms at all even scattered thunderstorms in the forecast don’t bother going. If it’s a clear day 0% of rain it’s worth a try. FYI the app they use is weather bug it tells them when there’s lighting nearby.
Strawberry water park is a fun and affordable spot for families, it has a lazy river, water slides, and a splash pad which are all fun and enjoyable.The lifeguards are attentive, ensuring safety for all visitors!
However, the facilities could use some updates and better maintenance, as some areas feel neglected. It also gets CROWDED on weekends, leading to long lines.
Overall, it’s a popular and enjoyable destination that could be improved with more investment in upkeep!! 🌞

I love this place so much! I love taking my kids here <3 they always enjoy it and have so much fun with the staff and food is pretty cheap! Staff always keep it clean and are so respectful
I loved this waterpark!! Lifeguards do there job exceptionally well even when faced with constant push back from the public. The food is amazing and is priced well for the quantity given. I loved the zesty onion melt and reccomend it when you go. The managers were constantly checking to make sure everything was in order. 100% would come again💜
I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the service I received at your establishment on Tuesday, July 9, 2024.
While your facility is excellent for children, I regret to inform you that the staff and management on that day were far from satisfactory. The experience left me feeling undervalued as a customer, and I was disappointed by the lack of attention to customer care. Specifically, I was charged twice for my visit, and when I inquired about the cancellation, I was dismissed and treated as if the error was my fault. The staff member’s tone was unprofessional and dismissive.
As a customer, I expect a high level of service, especially in a children’s environment. It is disheartening that I had to request a correction for the mistake and received no compensation or day pass in return. This incident has left a negative impression, and I will not be returning to your facility. Furthermore, I will not be recommending it to others.
I hope that you take this feedback seriously and implement necessary improvements to ensure better customer service in the future.

Great for the kids ! Nice for birthday parties!
Needed to take our 10 year old out, to release some of that energy. We were driving around Lexington and decided to look up parks and found d this near by
He is loving it.
He is loving it.
Family loves the facilities and food, especially the new fruit bowls they sell. However, there were two groups of boisterous older teenagers wrestling, shoving, and kicking people that weren't dealt with in the vortex pool. At one point I even had to be like "hey, can you guys chill?" to which the older two boys kept shoving each other. There should definitely be a stricter no horseplay policy, especially with little kids and babies being in the vortex pool.
Fun place for a family day! Kids had a lot of fun, lots of things for all ages of kids. The food is decently priced, but it always takes awhile to get your food. Especially if you order pizza. They got my order wrong twice, buy fixed it pretty quickly.
This was our first time visiting Strawberry Water Park. We went for the adaptive swim event, which is for people with special needs between the hours of 10 am and 12 pm. My grandson loved it so much. He had so much fun going down the water slides. Another thing I liked was that the water was very, very clean. Also the employees are very nice as well. Not to mention, it was free. Please be aware that no outside food is allowed. But the food they sell is pretty cheap. The burgers,hotdogs, and pizza are delicious. The only thing is that the pizza slices are very small. That is just my opinion. Overall, we had an awesome time, we will definitely take my grandson again on the next adaptive event day. P.S. the lifeguards are awesome. These lifeguards are sitting outside of the play and swim area and inside the water walking around, watching making sure everyone is safe if I'm not mistaken. There were like 6 on the outside and 2 or 3 inside the water, so yeah, we felt very safe.
Swim lessons are ok the park is fun. The swim lessons are a 3 star. The wave park a 5
It is amazing. There's a big playground with slides, swings, monkey bars, etc. There's a mini outdoor water park. Plenty of free grass land, basketball court, and tennis court, the only complaint I have is that the vending machine has been broken for like 4-5 years.
Heath water park is so fun although it was 70 for 5 it was worth it the staff were kind and funny I would go there 😄
They need some kind of shade area for people waiting to enter when over capacity. Other than that, I would've given 5 stars
This place was awesome for all ages. It is very clean and has a lot of lifeguards on duty. I would recommend buying the season pass because your kids will be begging you to take them back.
Very nice like the water very cool slides and grate price love the lil park and the overall of everything 🫶
Went after 5pm to get a feel for this location. I’m ready to get a refund on zoombezibay season passes, a total of 4 season passes for a family season pass to this location and it’s closer to home with ten different ways to get home peacefully. They allow coolers to enter the facility and they have food on the facility as well. The guards are like an army they don’t mess around. Which is what I want, to see them doing their job and making sure our children are safe. Everything here is popping and worth all the money.
I'm always up for visiting a tower/building with an observation deck. The views from Tower of the Americas @ Hemisfair certainly did not disappoint !
What was disappointing was the broken audio on the Six Flags over Texas display. Only 1 or 2 worked properly or at all.
Also the place is very dated and needs some renovations to bring it into 2024. It felt stuffy in the indoor observation deck, smelled like febreeze.
The short movies shown at the base of the tower were very enjoyable.

We went on adaptive time (10am-12pm) and everyone, lifeguards and staff we very friendly and professional. It was perfect for all to enjoy. I highly recommend for families of all ages.
Had a great time at the pool with some of my favorite people. It was my first time visiting and will definitely be back. The lazy river is my favorite. Love that they do 15 mins for just adults often. The pickles at the snack stand are delicious!!
The lazy river was my favorite! Cool & clean water, well cared for water park!
We went on a Wednesday and the place almost seemed abandoned. There were very few other people there which was nice. I imagine it's much busier on weekends. It's only $18 and you get to go up to the observation as many times as you want all day. It also includes the 4D videos. (Not sure I recommend the 4D videos as they were somewhat entertaining but the 4D experience was very lacking). We spent quite a bit of time in the observation area. It was fine trying to find various places around the city. Side note: the gift shop is very affordable.
Love the place. First time visiting. I just thought in comparison to other water parks, it’s actually expensive. I had 5 kids with me, and we paid $78. And then we ended up not swimming because it got windy. Most city water parks cost average $8. But that’s my only thing…
Good amount of people today. Busy, but not overwhelming. Staff & lifeguards are polite & always alert. Flowrider needs a solid full repair. It was shut down for a bit, but they did a quick short term repair. It is over 20yrs old. Thanks for the repair it allowed me to ride for the 1st time.
The grandkids had fun! I was impressed with the number of lifeguards on the premises. The staff was very helpful and attentive when we inquired about anything. Water was clean. The women's restroom on the other hand, was really dirty and needed attention. Also, being a family recreation facility I was surprised to see women wearing thongs fully exposing their rears. Maybe setting attire guidelines may help that? Thank you for a fun place for children and their families to gather.
Went with the fam. The nephews loved it, and so did I! I can't believe I've never been to the Wave. The water was a bit cold but everyone had a great time.
Multiple life guards on duty, clean, and fun. Food is served here as well.
Great for parties.

Cute little roadside cemetery that I thoroughly enjoyed. Just be sure not to stray too far off the beaten path into the baneful vegetation.
My children from toddler to teen love it here. There’s a toddler area, splash pad, 3 mini swimming pools, Yanaguana garden 5 a.m until midnight. There’s areas for picnic , swings, climbing. Overall, a nice place for photos and a day out.
A wonderful place to visit. We had lunch at the top of the tower and the chart House restaurant. Got a very good selection on the lunch menu and you could also order from the dinner menu if you preferred. The view was outstanding. Service wasn't all that great. Our server was not very attentive. She didn't seem to know very well what she was doing. We didn't want to go on the observation deck after dining but they told us it was an additional $12 to go upstairs. We really didn't think it was worth it just been another $24 just to go up the stairway. It would probably be a better idea if they would allow access to their dining guests. I believe the cost was $18 for gas and $12 for dining guests.
It is what it is.
I believe if I live there I would dine there much more often if the deck was open to dinars. Otherwise it's one of those things if you've done it once you probably don't need to do it again.

The grounds themselves were pristine. (Especially true since the Parks and Recreation Maintenance Crew were finishing up with their mowing and trimming as my friend, her husband, son, and I arrived!) This park has a nice blend of sunny sidewalks to follow and shady pavilions with picnic tables to sit in. The flowering trees were in full bloom and beautiful. My only complaint was a Parks and Rec Maintenance member chose to ask us to have my friend's toddler son not touch a water feature. To be fair, the water fountain had one side with guardrails in front of it; however, there was plenty of open space surrounding it where anyone could walk up to it and touch it through the grate it was splashing through. There was no signage saying not to touch and certainly other people take a moment to feel the water who visit. While I give grace for such encounters, and we did comply, it was noteworthy enough to remove a star from our experience at this particular park.
This cemetery is very old I seen dates in the 1800's. I went and cleaned up 2 headstones. And will be returning to clean some more. It's so sad that some get forgotten about. Overall it's a real neat cemetery to walk through. Lots of really neat headstones.
Dirty, lots of bums, people letting their dogs play in the fountains too...if you happen to be in the area it might be OK. But I definitely wouldn't go out of my way to come back.
We absolutely love this pool. Everyone has discussed the amenities, but what I haven’t seen mentioned yet is what it offers *before* the pool opens to the general public.
1) Swim lessons four days a week for two weeks at a time - HALF the price of places like Foss. My kids (and my wallet) love it.
2) Water walking in the lazy river, against the current - great exercise, nice to meet & talk to others, and good to do while the kids are in their swim lessons.
3) A cute playground, a skate park, and outdoor music events, right next door.
We drive 30 minutes to get to this pool, that’s how much we like everything it has to offer. ;)

This is a great local pool. I like the price and all the fun options that are available. This is a great pool for families with kids of all ages. The concession stand has lots of yummy snacks, but you have to spend a minimum of $5 to use card - however - you can bring your own snacks and drinks. I would suggest packing a cooler and just bringing your own stuff for the day. As for hours, be sure to check Google or Facebook before heading out. They are only open certain days and hours each week. That is my only complaint; I wish the days/hours were more/longer.
Pretty small waterpark kids had fun on a hot sunny day
Easy access from highway, nearby playground in poor shape(lost a star for that) and plenty of shade for parents
Portable toilets and decent amount of parking
They also had a parks and recreation staff on duty

We loved the day we spent here! Our kids were entertained all day. Clean facility. Love how big the place is with lots of areas to hop back and forth between.
Decent enough water park in Vista. Good place to have fun in the waters.
The place is not big. It has 5 sections.
1. A pool for you to relax in the water.
2. Water sprout play area.
3. The Wave rider - cool ride, if you dare to do.
4. Lazy river water tube ride.
5. Water slides where you do body slide or with tubes.
There is food corner inside the park which is reasonably priced, where you can get food like
- hot dogs
- burgers (hamburger, cheese burger, veggie burger, etc)
- pizza ( pepperoni or cheese)
- chips
- drinks, etc.
A good day out for the kids without spending more than $30 - $35 per person.

We love this place in the summer! It's small, but when you are hot it's a great place to play and cool down. We have been to many birthday parties here and they are always a hit!
Was not on, waited till 12. None had info on why it wouldn’t turn on. We asked police, security and downtown Phx ambassadors. There should be hours of ops posted so that you don’t stand around waiting for an hour with little kids in the heat of the summer
Very nice park! It has a 2 usable BBQ pits each with 4 tables under its own high canopy separated by 9 beautiful trees and grass, MANY trash cans, LARGE playground though unfortunately not covered but has 3 slides also a small water park for the summer. A tennis court. Walkways around entire park. Dog friendly for friendly dogs. Plenty enough parking. A beautiful memorial.
Had my granddaughter 6th birthday party there. Everyone had a great time, even the adults. The place wasn't over crowded either even tho it was July. I've also taken my grandson and & granddaughter since then. They love playing in the water & the playground right beside it.
It is quiet, the neighbors love this place. Has a splash pad for kids
Absolutely adored the Splash Pad in Kingsport, TN. It is so refreshing to see a town truly care about their youth and offer such a vast array of activities for them to enjoy. Our children had a blast and we will definitely be coming back again. It has quickly landed on our list of top favorite places to take our kids.
We've always treasured the splash pad at CityScape. So grateful it's there.
Plenty of parkings and seats under the shade. Good for the kids
Barely any water comes out. Definitely anti climactic. Disappointed l.
Not open to the public. Just for resident use only.
Absolutely breathtaking views of the city skyline from this park. A serene oasis amidst the urban hustle, perfect for a peaceful stroll or enjoying a picnic with loved ones. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a refreshing escape from the city bustle.
Got to go here for the first time. There’s a nice small free water park plus beach volleyball 🏐 and basketball 🏀 places! There’s a fountain ⛲️ and I did fishing there and I caught a big catfish there. Quite impressive! I had a fun time.
Come visit.
Cheers 🥂
Come visit.

Awesome place to relax and enjoy lunch. And let your kids play in the water fountain
Great splash
Too small wouldn't even consider it a water park but kids dont care lol
A place to visit.
Every summer for the past 5 years.... Ill Be taking my kid there... Staffs and lifeguards are very kind and helpful. The Food it's always been taesty... And Renting a tent it's a most (quite affordable)... Lots of games for the kids and family to spend a weekend together.

It's a real nice park to walk . I am trying to keep it going . 🚶 🚶 🚶
I live close to this place. And if I can't take my kids anywhere else we are coming here. Water pressure is strong and the children have so much fun
Very awesome for the kids and adults. Very nice and the areas are great. Not over crowded. The play equipment can be updated. Nice tennis basketball courts. Loved it!! Enjoyed the time there!!
Very peaceful at night. Love going here to sit by the water and relax.
I went and did not get splashed. 10/10 would be disappointed.
Children and I mostly like the garden. I can't blame anyone for the bathroom but the people who doesn't care for other people health, like how hard is it clean after yourself or children. If the shoe was on the other foot. Nobody would like it if you treated their home like this 🤷♂️.
Such a fun park. Lots of grassy area to run around and play. Has a nice play area but kinda directed towards little bit older children. They do have a little kids playset but it's small. But the water park is great for all ages and the kids always have so much fun. There are also lots of benches and some tables for sitting. Public restrooms available as well. Walking through the memorial area is truly touching and beautiful. It's a must see when there.
Prices have gone up, everything about this place down. The slides have now been down for 2 summers in a row, but they wontt tell you as they still want your $$. The water features along the lazy river were all not working. They barely have any floaties for the lazy river. You can bring food in and if you want to eat there, plan on spending at least 1+ hours in the main food line. Ridiculous. Don't waste your $$. There are plenty of other water parks that actually maintain their parks to visit!
Nice lovely and peaceful comunity.Goid ace to buy a home and raise your family.24/7 Constable patrol.Very very safe place
Great in the summer when the water is working, bathrooms are not kept very clean and there is not much shade, bring your own shade and chairs. If the weather is nice then plan for the parking lot to be full. The last time we went there were about a dozen celebrations going on throughout the whole park. If you want guaranteed use of the gazebo you have to reserve it through central point parks, you can do so on their website. If you don't reserve it there is a good chance you will have to vacate for groups with reservations. I would also encourage you to take some time to appreciate the memorial area, it is very well done.
