TO GROW-ONS: the bathrooms and shower-rooms, especially in the water park. Black mold and filth, rust, chipped and mold-ridden paint, and scaryness was everywhere. Men's and women's bathroom and shower-rooms in the water park were equally dilapidated. (As avid campers at campgrounds, we have no problem sharing the bathroom with bugs or spiders or dirt or mold, but these at M.A. were the most disgusting bathrooms I have seen since the 1980s. Including campgrounds.) For the price of tickets, I would expect the bathrooms to be current and up-to-date.... The lines to use the bathrooms in the ladies room in the water park were atrocious, and there were some of us with toddlers, kids, and special needs children and special needs adults had a HORRIBLE experience trying to keep accidents from happening... We shouldn't have to wait 20-30 minutes to get into the bathroom...

The signage in the water park bathrooms are severely lacking. Several people waited in a line for 30 minutes that they thought was the bathroom line, but it was just a changing room line....... Not acceptable.

Also, as expected on a busy Saturday, there were several emergencies in the water park regarding staff/cast members saving guests unexpectedly. All emergencies were all expertly handled, and it was evident that a lot of solid protocol and tons of training has gone into the repetition and PRACTICE of these protocols. My MAJOR suggestion would be to have part of the response team respond with the portable, lightweight, self standing "shields" to make a shield of privacy around the victim and their family to make their worst moment on vacation a private one. In one instance I saw patrons recording the incident on their phones regarding a small child. That's when I joined in to help make a human shield (with my back to the emergency), helping to block them. If you had the 3-foot tall, light and portable, fence or wall style response-shields you could literally just set them up and stay focused on the emergency at hand... Providing the utmost amount of privacy possible!! :-)

As for the app, we found it somewhat handy, especially for saying if rides were open or closed for repair. (However, ride wait times were often completely inaccurate or missing completely.)

I would love to see more large shade tents and more seating along walkways, especially to and from water park, especially for those with disabilities or small children.

I would also love to see more Cooling Stations (mist makers and water refill stations) to help prevent emergencies and overheating.

I didn't see any Baby Feeding areas or rooms or rest areas or backwards-facing benches (always in the shade) so mothers who are nursing/breastfeeding, pumping, or feeding their baby in any of their chosen ways can have a seat in the shade where they can have some space to do so with a little less distraction.... with power plug ins!!! Definitely need to fix that. Also great for parents of special needs kids or adults who have trachs or specialized medical equipment or need their power wheelchair recharged.

GREAT THINGS: the overall emergency response and knowledgeable, trained people responding in seconds of being alerted. As someone who has emergency response training, I recognize the work and constant practice that has been done in this area. I would feel safe having one of my family members being helped by any of the response team at Michigan Adventures, and that is truly saying something.

The app was great for location finding and navigation. Telling walking distance and estimated walking time between your location and the desired location/ride. This is very helpful when having heat/sun/weather sensitive people and/or those with other types of disabilities/different abilities visiting the park.

The entry experience was pretty great. It went much quicker than expected!

Every staff member we encountered was kind, considerate and helpful.

Also, the catering area and all staff were FANTASTIC!!!! (They SINCERELY cared about the quality of food and our overall experience!!)
