I did not love the experience because of how insanely crowded it was. I know that staff cannot account for when season pass holders will show up but there should be a limit on the amount of tickets sold daily. There was so many people that they stopped the waves in the wave pool and getting a raft for the lazy river was not happening. The police were there because of so many missing/lost children and the chairs to lay out on were lined up touching each other so you had to climb up them from the bottom of the chair. It took 45 minutes to get anything to eat, and that was the short line. In addition to the crowd, the prices for everything was way too high. Not all of the attractions were even open. It was overall an overrated experience in my opinion. My son had a blast, so at the end of the day that is all that mattered, while most adults have to just grin and bare it I suppose.
The Zoombezi Bay ticket also gets you admission to the Zoo, but not the other way around... check the Zoo’s website for details... www.columbuszoo.org .
The wave pool is pretty deep like 6 feet at the end. When waved are on it might go up 8 feet max. You can always be in shallow area where it is 4 feet or 3 feet..
It depends on the kids ages & where you live. If you don't live in franklin county its $34.99 each for ages 10-59 but if you do live in franklin county its $29.99 also children 3-9 are $26.99 if not in Franklin county and if you are in Franklin county its $23.99. Children under 3 are free and Seniors ages 60 + are $26.99 if not in Franklin county but if in Franklin county its $23.99 its also $10 to park but you can get discounted tickets at Kroger.
I have a 8 yr old handicap child who has cerebral palsy is she allowed on the water rides she is unable to sit up by herself so one of us would have to go with her

She would be unable to go down any of the slides. Parents are not permitted to go down slides with their children (unless it’s a double/4 person tube) but even then, it would probably be too big of a liability to let your child go down.
Cash and card for both. The locker is $10 for the entire day and large enough to fit 2 or more adults items. They are keyless which is nice so you don't need to keep track of a tiny key which is nice.
Nope we spent the whole day there the other day and an entire day of rain and the lines were short and we got to ride every single ride about 30 times, only if it's lightning, will they close it.
If you get a 2 day ticket online it's 44.99 and that gets you in the zoo and waterpark. You can also purchase 2 parking tickets which is $10 a day. Getting there at 9 when zoo opens and 1030 when waterpark open is best you don't have has many crowds when walking zoo and you get good seats for water park
Yes you can get tickets at the park. You will go to the ticket booth to the right of the entrance before going in the Zoo entrance. Just make sure the greeter there returns your tickets after scanning them in, because you will need them again as you enter Zoombesi Bay. Also, while getting your tickets, if going to Zoombesi Bay, make sure to let them know when purchasing the tickets.
They do have a number of concession stands throughout the water park. There's one in particular that we use that has chicken wings and fries, and pizza.
There are restrictions on what kind of coolers you can bring into the water park. However, there is an area where you can leave your cooler outside the park and you can just duck out briefly and get what you need.
Zoo gold members 154.00 get in free child gold member 124.00. Season pass to just zoombezi 104.00 child pass 74.99. With the Gold menbership to the Zoo you can do anything and all rides are free.
Plus $11. For the zoom pass, which I recommend bcuz the lines per ride can be a lengthy wait. I waited over 35min for the cyclone. With the zoom pass there is basically no wait and if so it's 5min or so
Same here never a bad day I actually just went yesterday & even though there doing construction right now there doing a great job of concealing it & the ppl are very friendly for being so close to cols
Yes, ZoomPasses. You pay extra and have a wristband to schedule your ZoomPass time for each ride as you go along. ZoomPass can be purchased inside Zoombezi (doesn't have to be purchased at the front gate).
I recommend the gold pass... It is a 365 day pass that includes both Zoo and Zoombezi Bay admission, as well as parking, Jungle Jack's Landing, and all the fun extras like train rides, the Dinosaur area (boat ride), & Stingray Bay. The gold pass is $125/ea but if you want to have unlimited access to everything the zoo offers, it's totally worth it! It also covers Boo at the Zoo & Wildlights
Anywhere from $150 to $250 for the day, but they are nice and so worth it. You have a table & chairs under the roof and a few outside around a fence. Plus, you have a fridge, complimentary waters and a safe.
You should go on their website and look for the prices because prices vary according to age. It may be cheaper for military personnel. I bought mine at the Kroger up the street so that I didn't have to wait in the VERY LONG LINE! You can also buy them online to avoid the long line.
Please go to the Zoombezy bay sight and read the rules. You can't wear tshirts but people wear all kinds of things. But there are rules. Call them if you have a question. I believed you will be fine in the swimsuit you describe .
Parking is 10 dollars online, buy a ticket and print it out along with your admission ticket for the actual waterpark. Makes it quick and easy to enter.
Yes, there are rides that are not just for kids. Several slides are fairly intense, and fun for all ages. There is also an adults only version of the Lazy River that serves alcoholic beverages on the ride.
Tickets are sold at the main entrance, after entering you turn left and walk to the official zoombezi bay entrance. Keep your ticket with you until you get there so they can officially let you in.
It doesn't look like they have anything different listed on their website. They are probably running the same hours. They have a few different dates listed when hours are changed or when the park is closed, July 4th isn't listed as something that is changed.
There are 2 new slides with very deep pools but other than that most are only a couple feet deep. Lazy river is waist deep & wave pool gradually goes to 6ft. You should be totally fine... Just stau in your comfort level.
Best time to buy is for the following season,...so after the summer of 2018 if you purchase a pass for the 2019 season by the end dec 2017 you save $20 dollars per pass. Child pass will be 54 and adult 84.
/ CATEGORY REGULAR and PRICEONLINE respectively Children under 3Free, Free

General Admission (10 - 59)$34.99 $29.99*
Senior (60+)$26.99 $23.99*

It's $104.99 per adult pass for zoombezi and $74.99 per child. It's 99.99 per adult for the zoo and 69.99 per child. Zoo passes can also be used to enter zoombezi so I don't get why you wouldn't just buy those. I've also heard if you buy 3 Gold Zoo passes you get one free but Gold Adult Passes are 144.99 for Franklin county residents and child 114.99 for Franklin county residents. The Gold basically lets you do all the rides for free and animal feeding for free. They also give you some things I've never used like a discount at safari golf, discounted entry to other zoos, free entry to their 4D theater (I don't even know where it is), priority registration, invites to members only events, and members magazine.
