Atlantis Waterpark at Bull Run — Attraction in Manassas Park

We love the actual park! Always stay for hours! However, the outside food policy should be tweaked. Possibly something along the lines of being able to bring prepackaged stuff like fruit snacks or chips, or grapes. Since the food lines are a mess and the whole food area should be shaded.. also guest should not be allowed to just put there stuff there in food area and leave. It's a food area. That really ticked me off that 2 shaded food tables were occupied by people's stuff that were not eatitng. In addition, the whole food set up needs to be delt with. Minimum 2 cashier's (that tell you ahead of time the toppings on burger are to be requested)(sidenote I was starving and ate my food.. but the food was meh), a third person getting drinks and keeping stuff stocked up front. And the others in back getting food. There should also be more food options. Grapes, apples, watermelon, (fairly inexpensive fruit options), carrots and ranch. I'm sure with all the body's that come through the cost would be more than covered by the add to menu. Also tried calling before my arrival this weekend and it was not turned on and the messages was from 2016, stating closed for season and will open in summer 2017.. lol idk how that slipped through the cracks. One more thing the bathroom areas should be cleaned up hourly(and checked off that inspected/cleaned). The floors are very slippery, and get a dirty sludge built up from sand, dirt and water. In conclusion, the park is great for what it is! And the price is great, it would be perfect if free for kids 4 and under. I would and do recommend this place, just needs some tweaking to be better. I know its beginning of season. But hoping my input can help...

We go here a few times every summer. It's a nice mix of things to do. A very large pool with varying depths from approximately 3 to over 5 feet. 2 large, spiral waterslides make my son happy. Smaller slides in the middle of the 4/5 ft. The water playground area with the spouts, slides, showers and giant dumping bucket are a nice change from just swimming or sliding and a great way for kids to cool off and play around at the same time. The front desk girls and the lifeguards we've encountered or had conversations with were all very young but nice, helpful and personable. Most of those who work in the little cafe seem like they are not happy with their jobs. Not friendly, but not straight up rude, just like they don't care. One girl was friendly, but the boys working today...not so much. They don't allow you to bring in food so you have to buy their overpriced fast food or eat on your way home. And we were going to have to wait 20 minutes for a mini pizza. No thank you. It's dirty inside and the tables outside were filthy with large ants crawling over the old stuck on food. The bathrooms are nasty. Seriously gross. Also, I did not see one actual adult today. Okay, to be fair, no one who LOOKED over 21. Anywhere on the premises. But despite the negatives, we'll be back. It's a reasonable price for all the pool features and amenities. We just don't eat anything here but bagged chips or candy and try to use the bathrooms only once. The pool itself is very nice so we will keep coming back. This place could be awesome if they overhauled the little cafe and...

The park itself is fantastic! We love this place and have had great experiences in the past. However, this year, the water in the men's locker room was freezing cold at all times—whether it was evening, noon, or morning. It was fine last year and the year before. I spoke to a manager, and it seems this is an ongoing issue. The next day, we visited the park in the morning and encountered the same problem. It's unreasonable to ask people to shower before entering the water when the showers don't work properly. The situation is completely opposite in the women's locker room, where the water is sometimes extremely hot. This park has great potential, but these issues need addressing.

Regarding the food, I ordered chicken wings and french fries on both Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday, the french fries were very old—not crunchy but oily and soft, making them inedible. Additionally, the food is very expensive. It appears there's a lack of quality control.

On the positive side, the lifeguards are always vigilant, which is very reassuring. The park is amazing for kids and even adults. Don’t get me wrong, the park is fantastic—you just need to fix the showers. Last year, this place was amazing, but this year the issues with the showers are disappointing. I'm not sure if I will visit again, as I can't force my 5-year-old kids to shower with...
