Keep in mind we went on July 4th, so not sure if that is an overly busy day or not.* It's right off the highway so the street leading to the entrance is a one laner and slow. (but that didn't stop a couple cars from driving across the double lines into the oncoming traffic lane to cut in front of everyone!)* Park is not too big, not too small. My kids are 5 and 7 and I'd say it was perfect for them.* Felt it was overall clean - it's obviously dated but no complaints.* You have to get their super early to have any chance at a table. We just ended up laying some towels on the concrete near a tree that we knew would shade us later.* The kids play area was really fun for them, not crazy busy until later in the day.* The big wave pool was fun as well, but they have a limited number of life jackets for the pool - they are only supposed to be used for that pool and they didn't do a good job telling people to take them off when leaving that area; thus a lot of people were left waiting for them (you need them to swim in the "deep" area). The wave pool got dangerously packed later in the day - fine for teens/adults but not so good for small kids when that busy.* Food was actually pretty good.Overall, we liked it and the kids loved it so we'd come back.
There is pretty much something for everyone. Several different types of slides and a great place for the very little kids. Lots of trees to relax under. The lazy river is a wonderful place to relax and just float. Food is expensive and not very good.
It never sits well with me when you get to an attraction right when they open and you see all the employees taking the parking places closest to the entrance. This very good customer service. The pizza we had wasn't bad and the price was about right for a one topping pizza. What did disturb me a bit was the fact that none of the other concession stands were open. There was no ice cream, no snow cones etc. When we asked we were told they would be there later. This was at 2:30pm, I am not sure how much later it could have been. There was plenty of places to sit. We went to the lazy river first thing when they opened (11:00am) and it had leaves etc. floating in it which didn't make it appear very clean. Maybe have someone there before the park opens to clean it out would give a better impression. We stayed in the children's area and all of the children there seemed to be having a great time. There was plenty of things to entertain children for toddlers to about age 10. Towards the middle of the afternoon however it became the place to be for older kids. A suggestion here would be to send the older kids off to their own area so the little kids could play without the fear if getting run over. The locker rental was $6.00 to rent a tube it was $5.00, to park it was $3.00.
everything is old and very boring. Looks like its falling apart.Go to any other water park but here.
Took my nieces for some girl time and had a blast. It was there first time going they liked the variety of slides and the loved the lazy river. Great place to go for all ages mine are 9yrs 14yrs and 15
The Island Waterpark is located just off of Highway 99 (Shaw exit). So it is in an excellent location. It does get regular maintenance and it has some good rides. I've been a season ticket holder for a few seasons. I guess my main complaint is that it just doesn't seem very safe. I've heard stories from others who have had their cars broken into while they were at the park, so I try to get there early and park near the front entrance. Also, like many other waterparks, Island charges for just about everything. Some flumes need special intertubes. Rent them for an additional fee. Food is a little expensive. Lockers are normally available (again, extra fee). Island can be a fun day, but some of the other parks in the Fresno area offer a little more.
Company pick nick here, the staff had it going on. Meet or exceeded all of our needs and the parks was in great shape. No rides down, all facility clean and in operation. You will have Fun, Fun and more Fun.
I was very disappointed at the up keep of the place , bathrooms were gross and very unclean , the rinse off showers didn't work at all . I had not been there in a while and was very disappointed . Would not go again .
We meet up with family & friends when we go because it is centrally located for all of us. The cabanas are nice a little small for out group but we make it work you have to get there early to get a good one, Costco has a good deal on tickets. Park has a lot for the little kids & big kids & everything in between
We bought our daughter and granddaughter a summer pass this year. They used it twice a week for the whole of the summer. It was money well spent.
