rapids water park

It was very fun, surpisngly very clean, all the workers were friendly and lines not bad. We didn't wait more than 10 minutes for anything and all the rides were very fun. I was very surpised with this park and can't wait to go back.

Great fun for young and old! Well worth the money for a full day of fun!! The food wasn't bad and it moved fast to get waited on. Can't wait to go back!

A great place to spend half a day or more. Food, fun and folic. Entrance fee covers all but the food and the old folks can sit around the pool and relax.

Great place for the family, kids love the place. I think the prices are a little high, so look for coupon deals.

We visited on Saturday October 18th. My family and I rented a cabana for the day, since multiple reviews mentioned the lack of shaded areas. The cabana was nice, it had curtains, a flat screen TV, Ceiling fan, cushioned couch and two cushioned chairs, coffee table, plus a bucket of ice and six bottled waters.We bought our entrance tickets using the McDonalds' buy one get one special, which is available until November 2nd. You can buy your tickets online and save some money.For the size of the park and the number of rides, we thought it was a bit over priced, so we definitely would not have visited without the ticket offer. Plus it was a 90 minute drive from our home in South Miami.We enjoyed all of the rides and slides we did, as well as the lazy river and flowrider. We had a lot of fun. We were there from the time it openned at 10:00 AM until the time they closed at 5:00 PM.Some areas of the park are in need of some TLC, such as the steps to many of the rides, lots of rust spots everywhere. A little bit of maintenance and some paint should take care of that.The food prices at the concessions are also a bit over priced, but the food items we purchased we good. We decided not to bring a cooler, since we did not want to take the chance of "leaving it in the picnic area" right outside the main entrance, as the park website recommends, since outside food and drinks are not allowed inside. I have lived in South Florida long enough to know that it is not a good idea to leave anything of value or even if it looks valuable unattended in a public place.The park is located next to an RV/Vacation rental community on one side and some warehouses on the other side. Just pay the regular price for parking, check website for price, do not be fooled by higher prices from next door warehouses, as soon as you turn the corner.We will come back, only if they have the buy one get one ticket offers again. We do not believe it is worth paying the full price of admission. However, I am rating our visit very good, because of the experience we had for the price we paid. We really had a very good time.

I went to this water park with my kids as a birthday gift for my sons. We were there from the park opened that day. I/we went on all the rides and attractions except for a few waited to go on after we bought and ate over overpriced lunch from the concession stand. There are signs posted at every ride single rifer maximum 250lbs and double riders maximum 400lbs. Pretty self explanatory i think. I was humiliated at one of the rides by being yelled at and having to go on a scale in front of everything. I was with my daughter who was humiliated as well because she kept asking why we couldn't go on, we weren't 400lbs together. We had to walk down all those stairs in humiliation. I will never as long as i live ever go to that facility again. The staff is rude and having scales to weigh people in font of everyone is degrading and humiliating.

it was a good experience first time and year later we went it was a horrible experience , prices gone up , service is horrible , they treat u like crap if u bring ur own soda or food,iam diabetic and cant eat regular food , so i bought my special prepared food , they made me throw my food . parking is horrible and very expensive . we decided not to visit them again , even thou we want to help LOCAL parks and businesses but this one not worth help or supporting .

If you decide to go, be there when the gates open. Then proceed to the back of the park and start there. It is very fun if you beat the crowds. Also it is south florida and they don't give out rain checks, every afternoon there is a chance of them closing. Also if you weigh over 250.00 pounds, you can not ride most of the slides. They offer food and drinks inside. We brought our own cooler with food and drinks, they have a picnic area just outside the main gate. Parking is 10 bucks. It's very crowded on weekends. Do not do the half price deal. Rides start closing at 6, if the lines are long. Overall a fun day, but follow these tips.

Rapids water park is a nice little local water park. It has some good rides and we enjoyed the lazy river and wavepool which are good for all age groups. All in all a days fun for the family. They have nice spots and benches everywhere where you can have food. The general parking was convenient enough and just costs 10 dollars. The lockers are also cheap and you can open and close them whenever you want throughout the day. They collect a 5$ deposit which is refundable. The staff were all friendly. There are no nice separate changing rooms and bathrooms were not that great. This was the only problem we faced. Otherwise it is a nice place for outing for entire family to relax.

Rapids is great. Of the non-chain water parks i have been to, this is in top 3.We love coming for the afternoon special. Less people and the cost is right. Especially after school days. You need to pay admission even if you don't participate. So if you have older children, you can let them go in and sit on the park benches just outside the entrance to the right. You can have your kids check in with you through the chain link fence. You will see many parents hanging out there. South Florida is know for its rapidly developing storms. If there is lighting in the area they need to shut down for a period of time. So plan for a meeting place because it can get crazy with everyone leaving at once. They have plenty of life guards, so I feel secure when my 10 year old and his friends go off on their own. They have some insane rides, but it is a nice variety from kiddie to very adult. They have a very neat toddler area. They have lockers for a reasonable fee. They have a snack bar. Just be careful about the bathrooms. They don't have many so you need to plan.

I love to go to the Rapids. I wish we could go more often. It's a little pricey.But the season pass is worth it if you your kids go often over the summer

Loved the slides, they were huge and loads of excitement, so many activities, so many slides, each one bigger than the one before, 'Black Thunder was my Favourite, We did almost every slide that was there. Wow, the Surf wave rapid was thrilling, The prices was very good for all those slides, plus we bought tickets during the labour day week, so we got free tickets to keep coming back till Nov 2, what a deal. We had a blast one of the highlight of our trip.

Our family looks forward to Rapids every time we visit West Palm Beach! Easy to locate, easy to get around and a perfect snack shack for lunch. Some water parks feel overwhelming when you have little ones, but Rapids isn't one of them :)

This is not in the best neighborhood in Palm Beach County. Entrance is confusing. Parking is confusing. Once you're inside; you can almost forget the location and somewhat enjoy yourself. DO NOT leave any valuables in your vehicle.

My family (me, my husband and 4 teenage children) visited Rapids on August 26th. We loved the rides, the park was very clean and the staff friendly. The longest queue was only about 10 minutes so managed to go on all the rides suitable for teenagers in a 3 hour visit. We are a slim family so we did not experience the reported weighing. In fact we did not see a single person being weighed during our visit. The limits are for safety so we would not be offended.The only reason we have not given it a 5 star rating is because we thought it a shame that food and drinks could not be taken in the park.
