Pawnee Plunge Water Park — Attraction in Columbus

Horrible experience period.

There was 18 of us.

1. We walk in instantly and the front desk staff were rude and picked and chose who's bag to check not once have I ever had a bag checked at a pool!

2. There was absolutely no shade anywhere

3. My cousin and her little daughter who is three wanted to go down the little kiddie slides we were instantly yelled at for being in the kiddie pool even just to help her go down the slides. The life guards were rude.

4. They have so many rules. The no peircing rule is the MOST stupid rule of all time, it's not even for safety it's so the paint doesn't scratch I don't know about you but I don't rub my face all over the slide to scratch it absolutely the most stupid rule of all time. That alone is a reason not to go.

5. A person had a fecal incident and the entirety of the pool was closed, all the slides, the lazy river, and the kiddie section, the only thing open was the diving area, we had young kids ages 2-9 who don't know how to swim we drove 1 1/2 hours to go to this pool and I will drive clear to oceans of fun then ever go here again! I've had better experiences at a hotel pool than I have here! They did not offer any refunds at all! The worst experience I've ever had at a pool!

6. The life guards were rude you can't do ANYTHING don't sit here, no you can't do this, or that! It is beyond STUPID

For future people who attend this park DO NOT it's a TOTAL waste of money and time, you get rude service and even more stupid of rules! Go...

So, my boyfriend and I decided to celebrate my birthday by going to Pawnee Plunge Water Park. We figured it'd be relaxing and a good time with all the slides and other things to do while there.

Overall I thought the facility was nice and clean.

But, I felt like the lifeguards/staff were rude and snotty to patrons.

I also find the piercing policy absolutely insane. No other place I have ever been has said that you can't have piercings in order to use the slides. I have my conch pierced that is clearly visible, and the lady that rang us up waited until AFTER we paid our admission to make us aware of the policy which a large sign next to the register stating NO REFUNDS.

So to be able to enjoy my birthday and time with my boyfriend, I had to take my conch piercing out. You wouldn't think this is a big deal, but in the process I lost the ball to keep it together, and had to end up going to a piercing parlor and spending more money to get a new earring put in.

I believe you should have patrons sign a waiver stating that they're aware they have body piercings and understand if anything happens it is not at the parks fault as they took the risk.

I honestly probably won't go back because of the policy. Body piercings aren't the easiest thing to get...

Today was my son's Golden Birthday! He turned 8 on the 8th. We drove an hour an a half from Lincoln, NE to do something special and different today! First thing right away my bag gets checked, I have never had my bag checked at any pool facility. And the staff picked and choosesd what bags to check. 2nd, the piercing policy is absolutely ridiculous, never experienced a pool adventure anywhere that you had to take out all piercings! Thirdly the staff is rude and way to strict. Was told you couldn't stand by the baby slide while your 2 year old goes down it, that makes no sense, couldnt sit on the ledge , and after all of that the pool shuts down due to someone's feces exploding everywhere after we were only there for an hour an half with no type of refund or no type of pass to come back, as if we would! So from here on out we will stick with our hour an a half drive to Island Of Oasis in Grand Island! I was...
