Water Safari

Ever since I was a little girl I've been coming to this amazing water park once or twice a year. I have so many good memories here as a kid (besides the finger injury). My grandma brought me here a few times. I was so happy to bring my boyfriend here for the first time together last year and it was such a great experience. A bit overcrowded for a Wednesday but we still had a good time.. At the place we first met. Can't wait to go back! Such a friendly environment!! Went back on a Monday and it wasn't too crowded at all. No wait in lines. It was great!

We are stationed in Fort Drum for the 2nd time and only just learned about this place! It's a nice little park with plenty to do for all ages! The circus was nice as well! Fairly priced! Backpacks and coolers are allowed. They have strollers and wagons for rent if needed. It was really nice. Keep in mind though, the ferris wheel is NOT one of those romantic ones lol it's definitely a lot faster than the typical boardwalk wheel. 🤭😅 (learned the hard way) we look forward to going back in the following years to come. 😀

This place hasn’t changed much at all since I was a kid and I love every bit of it! Parking was well organized and we had zero wait for parking or getting in. And this was the week of the 4th of July! There is something for absolutely everyone! Tons of shade from trees and cut out areas in the woods with covered picnic tables. My sister even brought her 4 month old with zero issue keeping him cool and in the shade! We were tempted to get one of the pricy cabanas but in my opinion unless your planning on staying in one spot and you get that cabana at that spot it’s probably not worth it. We got there a little later in the day ( around 130) and we had zero problem finding two picnic tables under a pavilion in a great spot in the woods right below wave pool and the best food spots! We’ve never had any issue with leaving our beach bags and shoes etc at the tables but we do usually get a locker ( located right after the main gates across from snow whites castle) to lock up valuables . You can buy there or bring a water proof lanyard thing for your phone cards/money. I highly suggest investing in one! Our little kids (2-4yrs) loved all the water activities they have both in the front and all the way in the back that’s designed just for them! You can bring your kids down the small slides and even stand and catch them at the bottom ( there is staff at each tot slide as well) we always skipped the dry rides as kids but my littles actually loved all the little kid rides. Some of which you can ride with them! the big kids(9-19yrs)loved all the big slides! There were lines but don’t be intimidated it goes by quickly! and everyone loved the wave pool ( can be overwhelming with little ones but staying right at the edge and letting them sit down and enjoy getting knocked around a little by the waves was a big hit! ) lazy river ( littles have to either go on your lap or you can hold the tub and walk the river with them in it) train ( which you can actually use to get from front to back of park bc it stops) And walking through all the little houses. There’s even a little petting zoo with farm animals you can go right into and with change buy feed to feed goats and sheep . The lovely lady grabbed straw for us to feed bc we had no change. So much to do I highly recommend going for two days! We’ve done hotel stay, camping, and cabins… we loved the cabins the most! Some sit right above the park and they were really nice and a lot of fun when my entire extended family goes bc we rent a bunch of neighboring cabins! Also definitely buy tickets online, even if day of. It’s a little cheaper and you avoid any lines if there happens to be any.
