WhoaZone at Grapevine — Attraction in Grapevine

Parents beware: you're not 20 any longer, but man alive is this place fun for the whole family!!!

The whole family went to celebrate my daughter's birthday. It's not the cheapest outing, but it's fun and after you pay for the park pass entry you'll have access to the park and lake if you have the desire (and energy) to stay longer. The actual course is fun to do, however don't expect it to be followed as a one way course. As you will go out with a whole group of people, you'll find most tend to more leisurely explore the whole setup and all obstacles on their own path rather than follow the outlined course path. This actually works best to help spread out the crowd but might lead to frustration for any hard-core competitors looking to complete a race.

A couple tips: make sure to get reservations ahead of time and arrive at least 10-15 min ahead of your reservation time to get checked in, vested up, and get a lay of the land. an hour is often plenty (at least for your first trip) as this is really physically exerting stuff to go on, over, under, and up all the barriers - not to mention getting yourself back out if the water all the time when you fall in (not if, because you will), there are platforms to help you to get back on and those platforms have a small helper step to make getting out of the water easier. If you want to wear sunglasses or a hat, make sure you have a strap or a clip because you will fall in, and they'll potentially fall in the lake. I lost my visor (fortunately it was recovered by someone else and returned later). if you're not in the same shape you were in during your 20's, you'll likely feel this later! 😀 consider packing Advil if you're someone who typically needs it after this type of activity! bring plenty of water, and maybe a snack for afterward. This is especially true for kids. Extra water is useful for foot rinse before you pop into the car. since there is a free beach right next to this, you may want to pack a cooler, chairs, a tent/umbrella, and towels for hanging out after. before they let you hang out on their beach, I didn't get the feeling we were invited to stay after. they have really inviting looking umbrellas and chairs on their beach. You have to...

We’ve been to several inflatable water parks before, and this one was really fun! The water was warm, everything was clean, and the entire experience was well-run. I have to agree with others—the staff was awesome. Most of them were teenagers and they were efficient, friendly, and super helpful. I called ahead with a few questions and spoke with Taylor, who was incredibly kind and informative. The lifeguards were also friendly and attentive—they were kind while still making sure everyone was safe, which isn’t always the case at other places.

The obstacle course itself was so much fun—a great mix of challenge and play for all ages.

If I had to mention a couple of downsides, it would be that even though you pay for an hour, you really only get about 50 minutes of water time because of the 10-minute safety briefing. We arrived early hoping to get a head start, but they waited until right at opening to begin the briefing. Also, if you purchase a two-hour pass, I wish you could stay out on the course the full two hours instead of having to exit and re-enter.

That said, those are small things in an otherwise awesome experience, and we’ll definitely be...

Be Careful!!!! Broke my ankle almost immediately entering the course requiring a $70,000 surgery and 8+ weeks healing time. So be careful, walk slowly and cautiously and weigh the risk to rewards before trying this.

Staff was inattentive and did not offer any help (after injury) during the remaining 45mins besides one teen who asked if I was okay when I stated that I thought I had sprained my ankle. Defiantly need more aware attentive and trained staff as it was extremely difficult walking out of the lake and no assistance was offered from staff. Left a review regarding safety and support training through the company email I received and have yet to receive a response.

Cost was very high for the time you get. You end up with less than an hour if things run smoothly. They do safety and life jackets for the first 8-10mins then you have to swim out to the course again loosing more time. It would have been better for a two hours for the price so they you could play rest then play without feeling so rushed. Additional parking fee as well.

Really loved the idea of this. My kids had fun, thankfully it was me that got injured and not...
