After living in Pensacola for almost 15 years, I decided to go, and take my children along. It was a nice family outing on a hot day - but it was not an exciting experience at all. Upon entry there was no one around. We had to wander and follow signs. There was no one in the front...or in the arcade...or really anywhere inside. We made our way towards the back and found an employee in the concession area. He was pleasant and helpful and pointed us in the direction to get a wristband for the Waterpark. We made our way with his directions, but even along that route it was desolate and very run down. When we made it to the little green hut to purchase our wristbands - I popped my head in first to make sure I was in the correct spot because there was still no one to be seen...and the cashier had her head down on the counter. I told the kids to wait outside because it just appeared very odd. I didn't know if this girl was asleep or on her phone tucked away or what? So I said hello - TWICE...loudly the second time and startled her. She did not say anything at all. She just stared at me blankly. I asked her if this is where we purchase wristbands, she said "Yeah". So I ushered the kids inside, we had a group of 5 plus an additional 2 joining us so I asked questions pertaining to what we were capable of doing with each band, times, etc. The cashier was very vague and not very helpful at all. With it being our first time she spoke of things as if we were to know what she was talking about and appeared to get frustrated with my questions, so I decided to just get the basic Waterpark bands and go from there. When we made it through - you could tell that 20+ years ago it was probably a really really fun place to be. For a recent name change, I had higher expectations. The equipment was sun bleached and just a hazy dull atmosphere. There was a decent crowd but nothing crazy where there was a wait time. There seemed to be a lot of lifeguards around which was good - although we did see some towards the later part of our visit huddled up under a picnic table just relaxing as if they were guests. Had they not yelled at a couple kids for being in the wrong area I wouldn't have known they were employees. I jumped into the kiddie pool area with my youngest and it was completely coated with leaves. There were attractions around that once had life, just sitting there collecting rust. Not even 10 minutes into being in the water I found a bandaid. Along with chip bags and other random litter. The older kids said the water slides were fun but that the inner tubes weren't inflated enough so most of them were kind of scared. We went down the lazy river - and it was pleasant despite the massive amount of leaves (and bugs) as previously stated. I know it's inevitable to have nature in the pool. We have one. BUT this was just to a degree of negligence. Not to mention the heaps of litter tucked away in bushes and landscaping that took away from what could have been more relaxing. There's even some cute graffiti spray painted along the river too if you're into abstract art. I'm venting a bit because we dropped a good bit of money for 7 people to have fun. I feel like the money could have been spent better elsewhere. I also feel like this park has a lot of potential. But I was disappointed. Not to be the world's biggest Karen here - really I'm not trying to - but just being straight up with my first visit. Pros: kids had a good time. Cons: It's really run down and dirty. (I didn't even mention the bathrooms 🥴)
