Mustang Waterpark — Attraction in California

What a great place for families! We went on Monday and then immediately turned our passes into season passes and got the “Splash Pass” parking permit ($35) at Lopez Lake. We’ve now been 3 out of 5 days this week.

Comparing this gem to other water parks, the average age of kid here is much lower. The “older kids” are in the 5th-6th grade range with a few middle school kids. The staff and lifeguards are friendly, helpful, and make it a place where I feel safe about my kids being watched and going on rides.

There is a decent selection of food for sale and even some reasonably priced items like the Uncrustables for $2.50 if you don’t want to get the burger salad, or corn dog.for example. The parking is close, so you could bring lunch in a cooler, leave it in your car, and then eat in the picnic area right outside the entrance if you prefer.

There is plenty of seating down around the kiddie pool area including several cabanas available to rent plus lots of free seating with ample shade available, too. Lockers are available near the restrooms for the security-conscious person, but this is a really tame place and your car is probably 250 feet away from the entrance. Not a big deal.

We’ll be back! Thanks Scott and team for a...

We live locally and decided to buy passes today. The park is perfect for younger kids, and if you go midweek, it tends to be less busy. I am only giving three stars because they don’t allow you to bring in outside food, and their food is beyond awful. We ordered a cheeseburger, chicken strips, and tater tots. Everything was cold, including the burger, which was medium rare. Coming from a server’s background, I know that food at that temperature is a breeding ground for bacteria, so I got a refund on the burger and now I’m waiting patiently, hoping not to get sick. Also, the girls’ restrooms were out of soap. Please make sure you are following food safety guidelines or start allowing outside food. Not sure how the kids behind the counter are reheating food, but yikes! Besides that, no complaints.

Heads up, they do not heat water so my boys were also shivering and would have to take breaks to warm up. Granted it was only 75 today. I’m sure when it’s pushing triple digits it’s perfect and...

Update: I appreciate owner's response to my review below, including the fact that the operator does not control the facilities which are lacking showers. In terms of expecting customers to contact staff about empty supplies, I would stipulate that the onus to maintain proper levels of soap and sanitizer is upon the operator, not the paying visitors. (Yes, we should do our civic duty but none of the publicly accessible sanitizers were filled or even operable.) ——— While this is a fun facility to visit, it is terrible in terms of hygiene: no soap in bathrooms (which are too few to begin with), toilet paper availability is unreliable, no sanitizer in public dispensers, and no showers to rinse off. Moreover, water quality leaves a lot to be desired when the pool is overcrowded. Taking into account the high admission fees, this place could be...
