I have worked as a lifeguard, head guard and pool manger at several pools, and a water park. Splash zone has the best lifeguards I have ever seen. I am very impressed with what a great job they all do.

We really enjoy this water park. It is small but there is still enough for us all to have a good time. The lifeguards mostly seem to be young. They add to the enjoyment. They are always smiling and eager to help. Nice outing for the family

This is our family water park. The focus here is on little swimmers and families swimming together. No big slides here. The environment is relaxed and family oriented. If you are visiting for the first time dont be surprised by the greater county parks entry fee. I think its $2 per adult? Although no outside food or drink can be brought in to the water park it can be brought into the county park and there are picnic tables right next to the water park entrance and lots of picnic areas in the park. Reentry is free. Just get your hand stamp. The snack bar food is simple, suprisingly good, and affordable. Lifeguards are on point, patrol regular routes, and are very friendly. This means your kids are safer. While you are there check out all the county park has to offer.

Great fun for the whole family! My kids (ages 15, 11, and 9) all had a blast. The park was big but not too big that I worried about them running around together.There were plenty of lifeguards, and each of them seemed to be really intent on watching their areas.There was plenty of seating. However, a lot of people chose to leave towels, hats, or bags in empty seats to reserve their chairs while they were in the water and this took up a lot of open seats.The lockers (deposit required) can hold one large full bag and a hat and shoes, but youll need to purchase more than one locker for two bags. Next time, I plan to take just one bag and keep it with me to avoid locker charges.Keep in mind that you cant bring your own food and drinks in unless its a water bottle, but you can go back to your car to eat, then re-enter with a hand stamp.The bathrooms and showers are small but otherwise well kept. Overall, it was a great experience and we will definitely return!

Great place to go. Went there with the family last summer, prices are good. Went on a Tuesday got a two for one deal which was fantastic because there was quite a few of us. We were there all day kids enjoy themselves. It was clean, staff were friendly. Only thing we had a bit of trouble finding the location. To me parking space is limited. We got there about 5 minutes past 10 and there was no parking available, we had to go back down the road, park and then walk back. It was about a five minute walk. But once inside we had so much fun we didnt mind the walk.

Finally had the opportunity to see the amazing, spectacular Holiday Light Show. What a treat!! Had begged for years to go with my daughters & husband each year; then told me there wasnt room in our van for me to ride. I was so fortunate to see this unique display of lights including nursery rhymes & the grand finale of Santas hot chocolate & sticks of marshmallows & Smores to roast around the huge fire pits. My new sweetheart took me thru 4 times singing & quoting each nursery rhyme as we passed by them. This wa⁰s the best event Ive ever seen to make my Christmas happy & cheerful! Thanks go out to Bert & the James Island Christmas Light Show!

It would be nice if you didnt have a pool available in your housing complex. There is a shallow pool, a lazy river, a couple of slides, and a tree house splash area. The tree house was shut down during our visit. There are plenty of chairs and large umbrellas. There was a snack bar, but we did not purchase anything.The park complex is very nice with lots of other things to do.

My grandsons fm NH look forward to it every Summer! The county continues to improve it each year, especially the staff, food, facilities and new package tickets thru COSTCO. We were disappointed, because didnt read it carefully, we couldnt use the meal tickets at James Island location. Suggest you consider including that location next season. Great experience every year-great county park investment ! We thank your wisdom & continued focus. Also the wonderful Holiday experiences

So much fun! No coolers allowed, but snack bar has good food at reasonable prices. Lots of shady spots in and out of the water. Go early, it gets crowded in the afternoon.

Great for smaller kids, Id say 10 and under. Older kids might get bored, but my 8yo and 6yo love it. Great price, too.

Welcome water fun to beat the heat. The only way this place could be better is with a larger general pool. Entry price may be difficult for some but the Splash Pass pays for itself in 5 visits.

My 6yr old and I had a great time! Perfect for his age. Definitely geared towards his age. Only two large slide, the open one was fine for us the closed goes much faster. There is a section (I think they call it rainforest) that has varying sizes of small slides for the smaller kids and the larger of these was perfect for my child. There is very shallow water in this section. I saw someone post a review that their 2yr old went with grandma and was told they had to be 36” to slide... I’m so sorry you had a negative experience but it was a misunderstanding. There are slides and a whole section for little ones. Only two big slides require 36” to ride with adult, over 48” on your own is fine. Definitely a great place for wee ones though. I can’t empathize that enough.

Lots of fun and small enough you dont worry about the older kids. Go on Tuesdays half price are after 3 everyday. Nice place for the whole family. All my grands look forward to going every summer when they visit. We pack a picnic lunch and stay the whole day. Are you can buy their food.

My family and I had an amazing time. I especially love the many safety water guards on the childrens water playground supervising the slides so kids remain safe.

Great for kids, easy to watch children. There are special discount days, and its cheaper after 3.

Review №31

Too crowded. Wall to wall people in the pool. Children are bussed in. Definitely not a place for older adults. Lounge chairs could use a good scrubbing. A baby pool and a separate lap pool for adults only would make it user friendly for everyone. My first and last visit.

Review №32

Its a good size park. 2 huge slides for over 42. 6 slides in kiddie pool ( 2 of which are for under 42) nice big pool, lazy river. plenty if chairs, good food options at food court. the on ly downside, food court shuts down 1 hour before the park does, and it is not announced. pleasant stuff, reasonable weather policy

Called to make reservations for my son birthday... They are charging $37 night for PRIMITIVE (no electricity/no water) tent sites! That only includes entrance in the gate and a place to set up your tent. You can get a cheap hotel with bathroom and full electricy almost for that cost. too pricey!!

Review №35

Could be fun. Website said June 2nd for new area so disappointed today when it was not open. The lifeguard situation is very unusual... Lots of them and they are constantly moving. I get the point but hire more if they need to move that much? It was distracting from the enjoyment. A lot of in and out back and forth movements. Kind of felt like I was in a play pen. Once again, I get the point, but overkill in my mind.

Review №44

The kids love this place. We dont live in Charleston, but when we visit my parents, we always take the kids here during the summer. Its always well staffed and safe. There are a variety of water attractions for the whole family. Price of tickets are reasonable and a good alternative to brand name water parks.Splash Zone Waterpark is run by Charleston Parks and Rec. They have eateries and a gift shop.You just cant bring your own food and drinks into the water park. There is a small picnic area right outside the gate where most families gather for lunch. You can also rent a picnic area inside the water park for special occasions.

This water park is awesome not too big but is enough to entertain the kids. The price was right and the lazy river is a favorite for us. If u have never been here before or visiting and trying to find a way to cool down, I would definitely recommend this park. The kids played all day and we went to the picnic area and had lunch.. Awesome

Review №48

Im very upset with Splash Zone!!! Yesterday my Daughter that is 2 and her grandmother went to the new Splash Zone for kids that just reopened. We waited all summer for the new kids Zone to open.. yesterday my daughter was finally excited the fence was down and she could finally play... She left disappointed she was told no she couldnt go on the slide that she had to be 36 inches tall before she could go down. Why build something for kids but not for toddlers to have anything to do. They go everyday to Splash Zone and yesterday was just the biggest disappointment to my daughter and mother-in-law.

Great place for the kids. Prices are fantastic even the food and snacks are reasonably priced. This place is geared for kids of all ages. They even have life jackets are fitted by the workers to fit correctly and they do not charge for the use of them. Kids beg to go when we are in the area.

Great size, not as big as Whirling Waters, I dont have go worry about my 8 year old being too far out of my sight...lots of vigilant lifeguards. Drinks and snacks are expensive, but reentry is allowed so you can pack a cooler and eat at your car. My kids love it. For a family of 6 it costs us around $60.

Medium size water park. My three year old had a blast in the kids area. The bathrooms in other hand where dirty. They need someone to clean them more often. To much water and trash in the floor.

Review №56

We actually did not go in to the water park because when we arrived they were only going to be open an hour and a half and they were going to charge us the full price. we had 4 very disappointed children but we were not going to pay $80 for such a short time.

Review №57

The measure for the slides is skewed. BEWARE IF YOUR KID IS ON THE CUSP. My son is tall enough but they handmade these and although he was tall enough for one slide he was not fit the other one and when they switched up staff they denied him entry. Plus everything is broken. Just go to Myrtle beach folks. Im

Only 4 rides. Pathetic. Waste of money. Tickets were $18.95 with $2.00 off coupon. Besides that the rides were decent and the lines were short. Infant friendly. Just too small for the money.

Review №61

Best of the three water parks in the area for families with small children. All of the attractions are situated close together, and they have a nice pool (not a wave pool) for floating, swimming, or just jumping in!

Review №62

I loved the previous rainforest area for my children, 1 and 4. We were so excited to visit the new rainforest but my 4 year old wouldn’t even enter since the water sprays and dumps everywhere on you. My younger wasn’t tall enough for any of the slides, even though she could go previously. I did not enjoy being pelted with water from every direction either. I felt sorry for the lifeguards that had to wear fouls weather gear for hours. Can you turn the water off in some places? We won’t go back.

Review №64

Not good, children run the park dressed in lifeguard outfits.Also, they give discounts to welfare people so around 2pm each day, when those people get up, the place is over-run and becomes dangerous. We overheard one of their group laughing because they had brought a gun to a waterpark!Avoid this place. Imagine how much pee is in that pool!

This is a great water park for people with children of mixed ages. Its not so big that I worry about my 9 year old & a friend doing rides alone and they actually enjoy the rides (instead of feeling like they are too babyish.) My younger 2 can happily play as well.

Review №72

I once had gotten stuck in the lazy river and I went to the middle of it and I was stuck since I couldn’t reach the water floor and all the life guard said was “get off” little did she know I couldn’t but luckily my cousin came to get me, apart from that i thought the place was pretty neat and the water slides terrified me I thought if I couldn’t reach the bottom of the water floor I would drown.some things aren’t meant for kids.coming from a kid personally too.
