We had a blast at WhoaZone! There were a few small hiccups, but it didn't ruin our time.

First off, do not go here if you do not know how to swim. Even with a life jacket, you need to be able to swim. Someone near us fell in the water & panicked because they thought they were drowning. This is an inflatable obstacle course in a lake. You're going to fall into the water, and it's too deep to just stand up.

Secondly, be prepared to secure your valuables in some way. There are no lockers there, but there was a heavy police presence & cameras in the parking lot. The WhoaZone employees told us that most people keep their phones, etc. in the car. It costs $5/hr to park, so hopefully some of that money is going to security. You're going to need to pay up front for at least 2 hours of parking, so be prepared for that.

Third, once on the obstacles, keep your eyes open. They let WAY too many people on the WhoaZone, and there simply are not enough lifeguards to watch them all. In a few places, the obstacles were a little deflated or floating apart more than they should be. Sometimes you're just going to have to jump onto the water to get around them. They sell water socks to help your feet stick to the rubber, and while we didn't get the socks, the people who were wearing them seemed to stay out of the water more than we did!

Lastly, there's a place to spray yourself off with clean water at one of the beach entrances. Swimmers Itch is a real thing that happens in lake areas like this, so rinse off before you leave & shower well once you get home!

Overall, we had a GREAT time, and we'll probably come back some day!
