It's not really water park. They have 1 slide and " lazy river " not so lazy, because there is a lot of swimming you need to do. But it feels so nice after this water. We will be back.

We took a group of 6 on Sunday. Got there early and waited inline. Once in, we went to the water area. We all loved it. The lazy river was fun... $9.00 per tube.. a little bit high.. but still fun. The concession stand had decent food and pricng. Shout out to PAULINE at the bar!!! Thanks for keeping the men entertained or vs versa 🤣🤣 My husband said we will be back to see ya. #them margaritas

Love all the gators. They, pose f pictures and are very photogenic. Plus, Mermaid show was epic. And, I seen they do Mermaid classes f extra cost w appointment only. I like the fact we are able to bring food f picnic. Nice, little affordable gift shop. Great, affordable place f family day out, it is not as out going as Dinsey, but more relaxing w less crowd, and no waiting in long lines just get there early so y do not miss out on show times .

We did one day at the water park side and one day on the river kayaking. Buccaneer bay was disappointing compared to photos. They have removed some slides since the aerial photos were taken. They only have 2 slides with a very long wait. Forty minutes or so for a very short ride. The lazy river is extra from your admission price. Once you get in you have pay to rent a tube. You get a wristband so no tube sharing. The float is about 200 yards. The beach area was very crowded and everyone is on top of each other both in the water and on the sand. We arrived about 10am on a Sunday in early May and the mermaid show was already sold out for the whole day. The spring water was nice and beautiful to relax on the hot sun. The floating dock was fun to jump off. Lots of people patroning the bar as well and then swimming with the kids and families. Lifeguards just have a stressful job here!

Last time I seen when driving by 2 weeks ago they were. However, if there is thunder or lightening they shut attractions down. And, any type of park it is best to call the day y are going, along w check the forecast to better plan y day, so y and the family aren't disappointed.

Are you allowed to bring your own pool floats?

Jasmin Burgman | Sep 3, 2019
Tracy Critser | Sep 3, 2019

This is what it says on their webpage. Personal floatation devices are not permitted inside the park, with the exception of child floats, i.e. noodles, lifejackets. Only tubes from the concessionaire can be used on the lazy river float The gift shop sold smaller inflatables. The swimming area is not large so I imagine it is to keep ample room for swimming.
