Long Branch Lagoon — Attraction in Dodge City

We were here at the end of July, Dodge City Days, showed up just flatter opening. $4 for kids, $6 for adults, plenty of loungers but all the shade was already taken with stuff sitting on them, of course! Two main slides were great, with little to no wait, and they empty to a choice of re-entering the line or just floating out onto the lazy river.

Tubes are free and plentiful, just grab one. The lazy river is nice, you can float around and probably see your kids fairly often. It even goes through the wave pool, which is fun (the waves are really just swells at that area), and there are waterfalls (with bypasses if you really don't want to be near them).

It was clean, lots of lifeguards on a frequent rotation keeping good watch. the water was pleasant, not cold at all, but great on a hot day. Once the clouds came over it was perfect.

Hospitality was great, my son had a bloody nose for some reason and they took a full incident report when my wife just asked for tissues, checked for anything needing to be cleaned, and got him something to drink. All we asked for was tissues!

Even the people were decent. No one causing problems or being rude, even in the lazy river I could relax and not get run into by kids all the time (or at all in this case).

Highly...

This water park has kids (lifeguards) watching kids. Parents come and just drop their kids off, half of them not being old enough to be unsupervised. There was a juinor lifeguard that thought it was ok to change in a storage area but where he could clearly be seen and this was done infront of my daughter. The lifeguards are always distracted, not really watching the water, and the music is so loud that if someone was screaming for help no one would hear them. There was one lifeguard that was standing watch but was so into the music that was playing that he decided it was to to start grinding in his red life saving device in front of all of these young kids. So inappropriate! Also everytime we go there is always a ton of hair and bugs in the water. This place is nasty, they need to increase the age for a child to just be dropped off, and they need to take a net to the water every...

My children and I both enjoyed our time at this small water park. We stayed put in the kids area most of the day due to silly rules throughout the rest of the park. The only way you could be in the lazy river was if you were in a tube, even the life jackets were not efficient enough. It seemed there may have been some miscommunication with lifeguards because I was originally able to immediately get in the lazy river without a tube (like I’ve done at many other water parks) and went by many lifeguards to being whistled at by a seemingly power tripped manager and rudely told the rules. We decided then to just leave the lazy river. Most of the lifeguards were very attentive, but others were being reminded to be more vigilant or were dancing instead of watching the pools. Overall, we had a great time and would go back, but would hope for more observant lifeguards and clear rules posted...
