What I liked most is the variety of slides this place has. You can't get bored because you're always hopping from one place to another. My mom came to visit from another country and was thrilled because she says she'd never seen a pool like the beach. She wants to come back to this place every month.

Our daughters were really excited to visit. The ease of exiting and re-entering made it easy for us to go out to the mall to eat and come back in to enjoy more time at the park. I loved the lazy river. My oldest loved the drop slides but even had fun on the Kungfu Panda themed play set area where my youngest enjoyed a lot of her time. I really appreciated that the wave pool was only closed for a couple of minutes and quickly reopened. The only thing I wasn't super thrilled about at DreamWorks was that HeadOut told us our tickets were good from 10AM-8PM on the day of our visit, but the park closed at 7PM. I don't know if it actually opened at 10AM because we hadn't planned to get there until 11 (the hours posted on the website), so we didn't arrive until about 11:30 or so. Otherwise, it was a good experience that we travelled six hours for. We may not get to come back as there is so much to see and do, but we will definitely be telling others about this incredible park.

There wasn't enough tubes which probably made the wait time longer. The food and lockers were over priced, plus not enough healthy foods available. We loved the wave pool and the wait times were for the most part low.
