Enjoyed everything! No long wait accept the food stands. But the food was worth it. The entire family members enjoyed themselves from 2yr toddlers to our teens and our adults. No complaints! I must say I enjoyed the pronto pop and my souvenir cup. What a great time I had celebrating Mother’s Day?

FAMILY REVIEW: TWO KIDS UNDER 7
THEME PARK: YES
WATER PARK: NO

We bought tickets online and arrived 10 minutes early on a Saturday morning. It was $20 to park and the parking lot had already started to fill up.

There were standing lines to get in and there was confusing signage on where to go.

We made it through the gate after about 15 minutes and headed straight for the Diamond Mine Coaster. Our kids loved this one!

Next we hopped over to Big Bad John. Our youngest was just tall enough to ride it. Everyone loved it. We rode this one 3 times.

After we did the Taxis and it was meh.

Our oldest wanted to do Brain Drain and we gave it a try since it was right there. The view is incredible but my 7 year old was pretty rattled afterwards. The drop is intense.

Next we circled back to the kid ride area and did just about everything. Most of these rides are kid-only.

It started to get hot so we walked down to Plummet Summit next. Both kids were tall enough to do this and we got SOAKED. We all loved it.

The last thing we did was the Arkansas Twister because it’s all the way on the other side of the park. My oldest REALLY liked this one and we rode it 4 times back to back.

Most of the rides had minimal wait times. I am 6ft tall and 200lbs and most rides were uncomfortable for me.

Things that weren’t immediately available at open: Hawk, Rum Runner Pirate Ship.

For $200+ we expected more family-friendly rides, but we really enjoyed ourselves and made it work.

The water park was BUSY. By the time we left around 1pm the parking lot was overflowing and the park was getting that way.

The staff was friendly, but signage could be better. There was no clear exit sign so we had to ask someone.

Had a good time here. Riding roller coasters. They have three three extreme roller coasters here. The rest are pretty much for kids. We did enjoy ourselves and they also serve beer. Food prices are not too bad. I did not visit the water park but it looked fun.

We had fun floating in the lazy river. The water was perfectly cool on a hot day. My daughter tried to ride a rollercoaster and we were told it was closed for the day, but when we got back to the other side of the park it was running. That wasn't cool. I wish it didn't close so early because there's so much fun to be had there. It's a great place to take the family.

If you get the season pass they make you go to processing which is another line and you have to register w your phone and take a pic. That was peeving
The park itself is pretty good some attractions closed. I'm gonna try to get a western pic done again today I hope I get to this time!

Update June 8, 2024 someone stole our rented yellow raft today. I was so angry. I spent 27.99 plus tax for a season rental. The rental counter will not give u another one. Another family told me they actually caught people trying to steal there's 3 times!
People moved our belongings off our chair after our raft was no longer on top of it.
Review from 2022:
Got a good deal on passes in a group rate by going in with friends and purchased multiple passes. Since it's been so hot our family only went to the water park, we had a blast. Too many things to do all in one day. We have found our favorite spots so we pretty much stay between the wave pool and Grizzly Creek, which is great for kids. We love going on Sundays since u can take an ice chest in with u. I have never had a problem taking food or drinks inside with me, I just wrapped them up in a towel in my backpack. Weekends are busy, we did a mini vacay in July and stayed in Hot Springs for 3 days and went to Magic Springs during the week which was much better, less people. Arrive when they open if u want a chair in the shade. I never had any problems with theft, folks are good about leaving others belongings alone. I love Crystal Falls.

Great amusement park for its size. There’s a nice mix of rides for smaller kids and for older ones. It can get hot and exhausting to hike up and down the hills in the theme park. I definitely enjoyed it more when the water park was open. It’s still hot in October and we would have appreciated the cool down. Season passes are a fabulous deal! They pay for themselves in less than 2 visits. Plus you can bring guests for a discount and even bring guests for free at certain times. Well worth the cost of the pass. The food is priced so high that it’s almost ridiculous. I paid $90 for a few snack foods for a family of four. Completely outrageous.
