We love this park and as the kids get older it becomes more fun because they can go down every slide. My 6 year old went down every slide they had and although he was scared of the Tornado he loved it after he went down and wanted to do it again. We look forward to going back next year
Before Hurricane Harbor, my family always went to Big Surf in Lake of the Ozarks. Not only does Hurricane Harbor blow it away, but it's free with admission to Six Flags. The speed slides are a decent thrill but are over too quickly. My favorite is the big (6-8-person?) raft slide, The Big Kahuna.
If you like water parks this is the mother of water parks part of Six Flags bring your swimsuits and stay the day! This place is Awesome more to do here than you can fit into a week! Being part of the Six Flags you have it all for one low price ! We bought Season passes and small kids get in free plus our teenage granddaughters got in free because we can bring one adult free with our season pass! Worked out super for us we got to watch shows ride the rides and the grandbabies got to spend time in kiddie land fun for the whole family! An hour from home bring your meals and you can do a whole Summer for pennies! Best Value in town the whole day for six people was less than what we paid at MacDonalds the day before! Who said they were a bargain ? Anyway it's the lace to see on your way through St. Louis Just follow Route 66 can't miss it!
My Grandchildren ages <2 and 6 enjoyed it immensely. So much so that they coaxed their grandmother to join them. I would say that the water park probably is geared to the under 25 group. But, older people can enjoy it as well.It is FREE to use the water park with PAID admission to 6 flags.
The kids loved it, but there is not much there. The slides are all fun. There is a big wave pool and a kids splash area like there are in many water parks. The bonzai pipeline was especially fun. If you plan on going back to the amusement park when your done, i would recommend getting your stuff out of the locker then. When they shut down the waterpark you have till then til they clear out the park to get stuff back out of the lockers.If your a big lazy river fan know you will probably have to rent a tube. They have free ones but you have to keep getting off and getting back in tube line. Tubes are 8 for a single and 12 for a double I believe
Love this place and the fact it is free with your six flags ticket admission makes it even better. My nieces and nephews love it.
I looked forward visiting Hurricane Harbor because I love water parks. Even if my expectations were too high, this park is mediocre at best. It all started at the ticket office, where every sale took at least five minutes so queues were building up at a place with no shade at all. Secondly, there was queuing before "security", which is no more than a farce because it's still easy to sneak in a weapon and therefore more a measure preventing people from bringing their own food, requiring them to buy overpriced mucky food in the park itself. The lockers were convenient, but sets you back at least 14 dollars. Then came the big disappointment: Half the rides were closed! The reason for this was a shortage of life guards due to graduation day, which was never mentioned to me before I bought my overly expensive tickets. And regarding the remaining life guards, they better rename the park to "Francisco Franco", as each of them turns into a little dictator when on duty. The paths in the park are made of concrete, with little shade so they became like frying pans. I run from one pool to another, burning my feet but life guards demanded I walked slowly instead. At the wave pool my boyfriend took a ramp into the pool, and they demanded he exited immediately because it was "exit only", without any signage. They made him walk over sizzling concrete just to enter the pool again. Every 45 minutes the wave pool was cleared for the reason to "give the swimmers some rest", even if you just entered the pool. Strange to say the least. Then (remaining) rides were quite boring except for a few. Park management should visited Siam park located on the island of Tenerife to get some inspiration for new and modern rides. Long queues were formed because they required the track to be completely cleared before the next person could enter it. So on busy days expect queues up to one hour! Some positive things to mention: nice vegetation, the temperature of the lazy river and wave pool were exactly right (refreshing yet not too cold), restrooms were clean and the backdrop of all the coasters located in the adjacent Magic Mountain theme park. These are how every overshadowed by high parking costs (20 bucks), an absurd 38 dollar entrance fee and 14 bucks for a small locker. Add another extra if you want to skip the queues (fastpass) or rent a tube to float the lazy river as no free tubes are available. However, after persistent complaining about half the park being closed they agreed to reimburse the entrance fee to me. But even with the park fully operational, I really think it is overpriced for what it currently offers.
Loved the kiddie area-really clean and attentive lifeguards. Waits were long on the rides and lifeguards not as attentive over there and dirty bugs and worms from the rain. For a water park, its one of the cleanest even for the bathrooms. Must commend the kiddie splash area-relaxing and clean over there..wave pool could work on cleaniness but not bad.
we have been coming since 2000 and the water park is great, but this year the food lines were forever long! we got in line at noon and didn't get our food until at least twelve thirty!!
This water park is deplorable. Overcrowded, things weren't "working" that day. Children can not wear any sort of goggles. The lifeguards will flip out on you and whistle at you like a dog repeatedly until those blasted goggles are OFF YOUR FACE! The lifeguards are terrible. They whistle nearly constantly but it's impossible to know what they are upset about. They are like frantic chihuahuas. The changing facilities are far too small and if you need a toilet, you have to go inside a different, separate building. We would never, ever visit this water park again.
