raging rivers

We visited raging rivers near the end of summer. It was a great experience for our children. They got to do the water slides and lazy river and lots more! We brought our lunch to save some money because everything adds up quick! Its easy to spend $100 just walking in the door with a family of 4! But overall everything was clean and nice. It was not overly packed so the lines were not horrible. The view from the waterslides is wonderful. They built the park on a hill over looking the river so while you wait you have a beautiful scenery to look at!

this is a great waterpark. there is nice area for little kids. and a wave pool. little kids can even do most of the big slides.

Had a wonderful time on a really hot St.Louis day. Loved the view of the river, the professional staff, the reasonable prices, thrilling rides, and friendly people. This is a hidden gem that reminds me of a country resort tucked away in the middle of nowhere. So much fun.

Hello, if you have time could you please call Donna Smith at Raging Rivers, she would love to talk with you about your concerns. She is the General Manager of the Park and can be reached at 618-786-2345. Thank you!

Like any water park you are going to do a lot of up hill walking, the biggest issue I had was the rides down. You feel like you went back to 1994 in a time machine just for this park. The neatest thing they have here is 1 of those funnel dump things, whew buddy!! If the park would allow the riders to maybe wear water shoes it wouldn't be horrible, the walking part, but the rides which I think there is only 4 water slides in all aren't really worth it. We do go every year though because my children get free tickets thanks to a reading program for that I bumped them from 2-3.

My grown daughter and I spent another wonderful annual day at Raging Rivers. The staff are helpful and friendly and the water park is well maintained and clean. You can find lounge chairs in the sun or shade, whatever your preference. Any food or beverages ordered are prepared with a smile. The views from the water park of the Grafton River are beautiful. After the water park be sure to visit some of the many restaurants, wineries, candy/icecream store, and resale stores in Grafton. We always make a day of it.

We had a great time with our 8 year old son. He enjoyed many areas of the waterpark. The layout is nice. There is not a lot of shade so be sure to pack extra sunscreen. The price is a little steep (about $30/per person), but we were in the area and enjoyed our day there.

Had a fun time. The prices were reasonably. $5 for parking, great! Not like six flags $20/30 for parking. Low cost to get in, even lower if u catch a deal. Food taste n cost, ok. Good price on locker n tube rental. Lazy river is horribly small. Loved the wave pool. It's a small place, but ok for the money. Didn't notice scantily dressed people when we went.

Had a great time with the ladies from Church. Very reasonably priced and beautiful scenery! Could not tell you were close to the highway. Loved the scenery on the highway, water as far as the eye could see. Easy to get to!

The scenic views and family fun at this outstanding waterpark make it a must-visit destination. The park is spotless and it is obvious safety is their first priority. The well-staffed lifeguards pay close attention to the guests with particular care for small children. My daughter enjoyed both the thrill rides and relaxing attractions like the wave pool and Endless River. The food was delicious and a great value. The park is also well-appointed with lush landscaping and the views are breathtaking. Simply put, this is a must-visit St. Louis attraction each year!

This park was great fun. I thought it was going to be bigger, but there is still plenty of fun for hours. They have pools/slides for little kids and big kids as well.

ok, I went with three boys, ages 10, 8 and 7. place is fun but dated and after maybe an hour, my boys were bored. great drive there from st Louis area but should have gone to hurricane harbor instead.

Raging Rivers is normally a favorite for folks in the Grafton and Alton area. It has about 5 big water slide rides. My favorite is the Swirlpool. There are two of them, one is covered and one open. There are also a couple other "big" slides that are more geared towards a strong swimmer, but there are also plenty of slides for kids. If you just want to float down the endless river or go in the Breaker beach wave pool you can do that too. My only real complaint as far as the park is you can't take any beverages away from the designated dining areas. I personally think it'd be great to float down the endless river with a Pina Colada in my hand. They do HAVE them, but you can't take them anywhere but to a table. That's my biggest issue. There are also a ton of attractions for smaller kids. Itty bitty surf city and another area is specifically for tots and it is really cute. All in all this is a nice place for a couple, friends, or a family.

We stumbled upon this gem of a water park. We were not planning on doing any water activities but thought "why not give it a try". The park exceeded our expectations. In fact, we stayed well into my child's nap time to enjoy the day. There was plenty of chairs (in & out of shade), different areas to explore, food for purchase, and family fun. It was not overcrowded, even with the kids being out of school. The only down side is the price to get in to the park seemed a little high at first. However, once you get into the park, you really have no other expense. You get a lot for the money. And they have coupons and deals through the website. You get to use tubes for free to go on the lazy river (although there are some available for rental), to go on the slides, etc. We didn't even get to see the entire park because our son migrated to the "kiddie" pool. Great time had by all!!!

The title is just from a 'Mom's' perspective. I think my girls, age 3 and 10, would say Fun! Fun! Fun! The park was 'just right'-not too big that you felt your kids would get lost, not too small where they would get bored. My 3 yr old enjoyed several parts of the park, including the wave pool (hold their hand) and the Itty Bitty swim area.... My husband and I even sampled the 'toilet bowl' slide. Sort of wish we could have done that a few more times. BUT this day, it was only 70 out...so the water was cold. No crowds! Decent price on food... Clean and well kept. We do plan to go back!Also, for you boaters out there....you can slip at the local Grafton Marina and Raging Rivers has a shuttle that will take you back and forth. A day slip at the marina is only $8. Fun times!!
