Summer fun!

What a great place to bring the kids and family for some local water fun. I recommend the annual pass if you live locally as it will save you money in the long run.

Great park. Very professional life guards and well maintained. A bit overpriced, $17 a person even for our 3 year old. $75 a person for a season pass, so it’s smarter to get that earlier in the summer to make it more affordable. Getting through base security SUCKED. Absolutely the worst form of government customer service; guy just didn’t want to deal with you at all. He wasn’t rude; just seemed to be praying for the end of his shift. Overall, it was a good time so I recommend it.

Great for wading and lots of covered areas with pool chairs to get out of the sun for a bit. Lots of lifeguards that were on point! Water slides were fun but mostly for kids. Down side is deepest part of the pool is about 5 ft.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Can you go in and out of the water park? Do you have to bring your own lock? Are there showers or changing rooms? What are some prices at the snack bar and food options?

Susan F (Susan) | Sep 28, 2019
Stephanie K | Sep 28, 2019

You can go in and out of the water park. You'll just need to ask a ticket seller for a wristband. It is not necessary to bring your own lock, but they are available to rent. There are showers and dressing areas. The snack bar has ice cream, soft drinks, chips, soft pretzels, all beef hot dogs and hamburgers, fries, nachos, pizza, and a few other items. Prices are reasonable for the quality and range from $1 to a hamburger currently being around $5 or so. Here is Ft. Jackson's Water Park website: https://jackson.armymwr.com/programs/palmetto-falls-water-park It has more info.

Is the Palmetto Water Park open to the public today or just for military only?

Ruth Glisson | Sep 28, 2018
Local Queer | Sep 28, 2018

It's open to the public but you have to get a screening done at any of the entrances that you go into Fort Jackson through. It usually takes about 10 to 20 minutes depending on how many people are there but not much longer. Be prepared to pay for your water park tickets there at the booth just for proof of authenticity of the destination you claim to be going to. Also just saying I'm a long-time fan of this Waterpark but the last time I visited a month ago it was an atrocious conditions. I don't know what you can do about that, but heads up.

They don't allow outside food, so you can have it at the nearby park and then you go in to swim (or the other way around). Definitely contact the office for more information.
