Back in the day I would hit action park every summer and have the scars to prove it. Now that it is back I had to go check it out. It was very much the same as I remembered but is much cleaner and safer then the old action park. The good news is the water slides are still pretty crazy and fun. They also have some new rides that I really enjoyed. The Colorado river ride is more intense then the old version and they now make u wear helmets. At first I wondered if the helmets were overly precautionary but after going on I was happy I wore a helmet. That ride is insane and hitting heads on other people in the tube or hitting your head on the slide is almost a guarantee. The cannonball is just as I remembered and the water is just as cold as I remember too. So be prepared for taking an ice bath in the cold mountain water that is in most of the rides. The new alpine slide is a lot of fun and reminds me of the old one but is much safer since you cant get road rash since it is connected to a metal track instead of being loose on a concrete track. It is a small extra fee to ride but worth it. They also have a great sky ride with amazing views of the mountains which is free and u can watch the mountain bikers do crazy tricks which was cool. Overall this might become a summer tradition once again and I highly recommend it. Be ready for a workout the hills can be intense but worth it.
A friend warmed me about the hills at this place but he really left out the amount of hills you will be going up all day. First we get there and there are park worker measuring kids to check for height. If your kid is over the so call 48 inch stick the measure them with them you paying of and adult ticket. But here is the cash this doesn't guarantee that your child will get on all the rdes over 48 inches height requirement. once you get up all those hills ride after ride and trust me you will be hiking even to go the bathroom. The ride are not worth all that hiking and waiting there were only two ride we enjoyed out all the entire park. We were done with the park in less the 3 hours like i said park is not worth it. Over price OVERRATED. Save your money go somewhere else.
High end water park, worth the money. Lots of lifeguards but cold water. Get a good nights sleep before you go. Lots of walking but not terrible. Kids loved it l! Best for kids 8 plus.Very clean, good park.
Recalling memories of action park when I was a kid made me a little nervous about going here with my own kids but my husband was thrilled to hear action park was open again. Although only a smaller section of the original park is actually still in operation we hacked a fun day. The park is small but when we went in July 2014 it was not too crowded even with all the summer camps visiting. Lots of walking up big steep hills and most rides are suitable for over 54". For the younger kids there is a kiddie pool with small slides which is nice. You can sit by the pool while they run around....you can even have a beer from the beer cabana right next to the kiddie pool! We went on every slide/cliff jump and wave pool. The water was very very cold in most of the pools so be sure to pick a hot day. Water was so cold......slides were great... Most were Not the typically slides u find at regular water parks so it was really cool to my kids who had just been to regular waterparks. The cliffs , Tarzan swing and black tube tunnels that spit u out in icy ponds of water were something u can only do here. Again...lots of hills and walking and cold water but Definatley worth at least 1 trip thus summer!!! Did the alpine slide which has Definatley incorporated safety features and it was great! All rides were extremely safe.....the only injuries I saw were at the little kiddie falls where a few toddlers bumped there head or hit nose when they went down each little drop. For such a boring ride it was where I saw the most years! Would Definatley go back next summer again! An old section of original action park is now a BMX downhill course that looked fun but that will have to be another trip to review when we go!
This water park is awesome. My boyfriend and I had such a great time.. This water park is not like any normal waterpark it is "old school" and basically you control the action hence the name "action park" the cliff jumping and Tarzan swing were some of my favorite attractions. The new zero-g slide is also awesome. It is very family friendly, but a lot of walking up hills on hot pavement is involved.Be sure to bring water shoes or flip flops to wear while walking to and from the rides. The water is also very cold because it is from the mountain. Overall, this was such a great summer day out and I will be back before the summer ends or next year!
We had a great time visiting last year. We had an almost-five year old and the hills were testing, but the weather was good and we were able to enjoy the wave pool and some of the rapids. Now, we did find one of the rapids to be quite shallow, to the point where my friend scraped his back, and I found this a little concerning (we were seated as per the guidance). The water was very cold as it was fresh from the mountain melt, but we just had to take a deep breath and get on with it. Definitely would agree with an earlier comment about taking some kind of footwear you can keep on on the rides as the floor is not only hot but a bit rough. It was a bit pricey, but there were nice areas for young kids and adults alike and the setting was good. Would definitely recommend.
Great overall!! Loved the park! Great for adventurous people and little kids also because they have small slides, jungle gym, sprinklers & lazy river! They're all just for little kids and rest are for everyone else!
Now called Action Park again. We had a great time (two parents and a 6-year-old). There were plenty of things to do there for a little one, but also quite a few adult/big kid only rides. The alpine bobsled ride was not to be missed (even though it does cost extra).The food there is not good at all and ridiculously priced. Our tickets were free promos, but I'm not sure I would go back at their full price.
Fun water park. Lower-key than other parks - doesn't have the hordes of teenagers roaming around that you find at many other parks. Fun rides for all ages and thrill levels. May not be ideal for the 16 year old looking for the ride of his life, but definitely a good place for a family with elementary school age children wanting to have a fun day as a family.
Had not been to Action Park in years. Won the tickets to the water park at a fund raiser giving me the opportunity to visit the park again. I actually drove past the park and had to turn around since the signage was not very good. Then when we went to park the attendants didn't really show you where to go and I wound up down a row full of cars had to back up and try again. So then there is the first of many hills to come. Now we enter the park and there is a map of the area which was not very clear. You can't tell where the rides are really located. Height restrictions are not explained clear. So the map supposedly is color coded for the rides to height restriction but they don't show the color for the ride on the map. Because of all the hills you can't even tell where half the rides are. There were no real lines for the rides so no real crowd that was good. If you have young kids under 42' don't even bother there is not much for them to do there. Unless the kid is free a waste of money. This is more of a place for the teenagers who have the stamina for climbing a mountain. Not really a place I will looking to go back to.
