Raging Waves Waterpark, Yorkville

It was a great outing for the family. We choose this over our usual Main Waters trip since Six Flags purchased them (way too expensive now). The lazy River was great (about a 10-12 minute trip around). The sand area was a surprise & we camped out there, under the sun sail. Foods prices are what you'd expect; a little pricey for the quality, but several choices for the family. However, I'd like to see some vegan options. The only complaint for the day was the food lines. Many of them moved really slowly. But overall, a great trip for the day. We'll be back next season.

What an awesome water park! There is so much to do. Great rides and not horribly long waits. (But we were there on a Monday, so that may have played a part.) The grounds are clean and well maintained the the staff is SO friendly. I have to say that the very friendly staff really stood out. Every ride worker made sure to greet us. The people working there really looked like they enjoyed what they were doing. My only criticism would be the lack of hooks, shelves, and soap in the shower area (both men's and women's). It's very difficult to shower there without dumping your items onto the wet floor. (Can't imagine doing that well with small kids.) Otherwise, Raging Waves is a fantastic place to spend a hot summer day with your family.
