I loved this place! We purchased season tickets online and got a great deal. The have a huge lazy river, large slides for 42 riders, a few splash pads, and younger kids slides too. They have a few different food options like burgers, fries, chicken strips, chips, and drinks. They had another restaurant but I already decided on that place when I smelled the grill. You have to pay to rent the lockers which was $5. It was $7 if you didnt return the bracelet they give you. We put our phones in the car and only brought $20 in with us. We left our towels and shoes in front of the lazy river where they have a couple hundred pool beds lined up. We periodically checked to see if our bag was touched but it was good. I would think people have the courtesy to not touch other peoples property but you never know. We didnt have any valuables just our car keys. It was a very relaxing environment and I cant wait to spend the summer here!

It was good till the end a lot of people coming in around 4 to many and pushing so we left

My children, husband and I had a blast at this place! It was fun and extremely relaxing drifting along the wave pool. The weather was nice, the staffs were friendly, and the water slides were fun-scary. However, the food is a bit pricey. Overall, we still had a blast.

This was a really good time. Loved the racing slide and all other rides. It’s a great way to spend a hot summer day.

Always a blast whenever I go! Relaxing in the lazy river to having fun when the waves come on. To the water slides can be relaxing too. But the green and pink one can give you a rush as well.

Me and the fam had a wet weekend at gulf island. We ordered our tickets online, so we didnt have to stand in the long lines. Ordered our food only e also. All we had to do was pick it up. Lots of space and different attractions for all ages. Life guards on duty were dojng there job. Nice clean fun with no problems

Park was great, but we called them a few days in advance to ask if it was best to order tickets online instead if the day of our visit. We were told if we ordered them online and filled out the waiver we would not have to wait. We purchased them ans filled out a waiver. However, when we arrived we had to wait in line in the heat for almost an hr. Even though my wife had an Email confirmation When we finally got to the desk the lady told us we had no Waiver on file. And had to complete them again. Their were NO benefits to ordering online.

Great. It is raining but overall the kids love it.

LOVE this place! Staff was incredibly friendly! The nice mix of all types of genres of music played over the loudspeakers, including a good dose of Christian selections was SO uplifting during these crazy times we are currently living in.

Worth the money if you have smaller kids and it’s a quick drive from New Orleans. I come here all the time with my daughter. They really need to clean their bathrooms more often and fill up their toilet paper. Always smells nasty!

There is really not enough shade here in my opinion. The standard umbrella that is at the plastic tables are too small to really shade anyone. The intertubes are really large & uncomfortable, they are hard to get onto & they seem to be a weird size. However, the slide was fun, the lazy river is nice it keeps you moving in cool water on a hot day. The drinks at concessions are $3.00 for a 24 Oz fountain drink!! Tap water is free. I will try a different place before returning to this one.

It was a great time and I dont know if because of the pandemic, or maybe just weekday but hardly crowded and lines move quickly! Great rides, and love that they let you go out to your car, in case you smoke/vape, and or need to grab a water or snack from your personal cooler!!! Highly recommend buying tickets online and if you have it go for the season passes. It would be about same price online for season pass as waking to gate to buy day passes

We LOVE this waterpark. I buy the season passes, and they are well worth it. My children stay all day, and never get bored. I enjoy the lazy river and laying out, while they play on the slides. The only issue weve had is with a few of the life guards being rude. Im sure management would take care of it had I gone to them. Amanda is one of the managers Ive dealt with, and shes awesome! This is our summertime hangout.

We have been attending Gulf Island Water park for the past three years. The park is always clean the crew and staff are always friendly. The food is awesome! I can’t wait to get there this coming weekend! We live in Mobile so we get those season passes and try to make it out there every single weekend!

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME, you have been warned. This place must be managed with people that they pick off the side of the interstate. I spoke with no one that had a clue about what was the process was to enter into this place. My family and I 6 paying customers waited over two hours in 100 plus degree heat index. We were told to get in line so could fill out a Waiver to protect them, after waiting over an hour to get this done we where told to go to the end of another line to purchase tickets. I’m going to give you a HINT management, when you have your customer wait over an hour to sign a Waiver to protect your sorry no customer service company, at the end of the wait sell them a dam ticket, HELLO is there any Intelligentpeople listening. Don’t have them wait for another hour and a half. I went to the front of the line with three more overheated customers trying to see why the line had not moved in a hour, and was told the park was full and Mississippi law limited how many people could enter. HERE’S ANOTHER HINT GENIUS, someone that might consider that customers are dying in the heat, inform them that the park is FULL so they may save their family from having a HEAT STROKE. Don’t apologize Management, ANOTHER HINT, Quit you’re job so the company can hire someone that Gives a dam, because you don’t have a clue.

Get there at 1130am on Saturday to 3 long lines employees ask if we have pre paid tickets, told them no, never been there before. Myself, my 4yr old, 10 yr old sons, and girlfriend are directed to center line, after about 30min wait we make it to the front of the line to be told it was for the waiver only, and that we had to get into another line a little longer than the original to buy the $35.00 a day tickets for each of us, total $140.00 for a half day at water park, not counting food and drink. Make your own choices.

It’s awesome...great & fun for a family day. Whether it’s a last minute day out or planned ahead of time, it’s worth it. Although please don’t forget to purchase online & save at least 25% from paying at the entrance, but yeah Gulf Islands is the Waterpark to be... Try to eat before you get there, food can be pretty pricey, but at least the quality of food is good. There may be minutes of wait in line to ride & enjoy, but as I said before it’s worth it

Great time at the Sunset Celebration. Was a nice crowd but not overcrowded. They had good deals for you nice on the food and brought out the big inflatables. This was my second use with our season pass. I think well get more than our moneys worth out of it.

The park is fun and laid back. A perfect neighbor waterpark. The only issue is the food service, they have NOcustomer service skills and no since of urgency. I swear they try to not make eye contact with you so they dont have to help you.

So much fun for me and my little one. We had the best time floating in the lazy river. Theres a splash pad and small slides for the littles and big slides for the older kids and adults.

We loved it here will go back staff was friendly everyone stayed there distance and still enjoyed ourselves and had fun

First visit to this waterpark and loved it. Staff was very friendly and enjoyed my time there. Will be back.

We went for the first time 2 years ago. Had a blast. Went today with the grandkids. Everyone loved it. Great place for kids of all ages. Lots to do. They even had TIGERS this time! Clean. Not too pricey I felt. We will be back!

Great day. Enjoyed the water and the pizza. My grandsons first time and he cant wait to come back.

Some of the employees are nice but it really wasn’t much to do one of the slides had been out all week and there were only 3 more but online the the weight limit it 450 but when you get there it’s 250. Personally I don’t think it’s worth 40$ per person

Nice place but for the season pass price I would expect more benefits between the premium and regular passes. Also the employees are rude and just not pleasant at all.

Definitely wont be returning. We ordered tickets online and still had to wait in line for 20 minutes for them to check that we signes the waiver. They definitely werent concerened about social distancing and werent enforcing it. I would rather drive 4 hours to the number 3 water park in the us then return here. Its a night and day difference.

I was told disrespected and talked to like a child by one of the lifeguards. Simply from coming out of the lazy river and I put the float back in the water because no one wanted it. The lifeguard screamed at me “GET IT NOW”. I asked who was he referring to? I guess he thought I was a child or something but that besides the point, he doesn’t know how to talk to people. He told me that was my first offense and I would be put out the park I just spent $131. That besides the point, it is great for little kids. They have horrible customer service though.

We had a blast. Would have given 5 stars if the bathrooms werent nasty.

Wonderful place i take my daughter every year its a fun place

The summer pass is cheaper than a day pass technically. But the lines werent that long. They have about 8 slides total along with a lazy river and wave pool. Pretty fun.

We have fun when we go. Why not give someone Atleast 1 free refill on the drinks? I mean it was just a few sips and it was gone. It was full of ice mostly. The kids Workin there are never happy. It seems that most of them act like they dont want to be there. No one ever smiles. Most of them are rude it seems. Im not the only one who sees this. The coupon book that comes with the upgraded pass could have better food coupons. You dont really save a lot on that one that expensive food

It was a 2 hour wait under the hot sun, and they were horrible at communicating. they had already reached the maximum capacity and they were full. they didn’t tell us anything, so we were waiting under the hot sun while they were letting other people go through. they should have made an announcement saying that they were full. they were horrible.

Agreed we bought seasoned passaess this year. Nothing to show for v it. They jell kept sayibg saying chech ur email. ..... ugh no. Im quiting

Awesome place to bring the family to have a fun time

Small but fun. Just right for me and my kids.

I love this water park. Its great for all ages and the staff is quite friendly and helpful

By far our favorite local attraction. Its kid friendly, super clean and the staff are incredibly nice & watchful. The rides are fun and you always feel safe even if your kids go off on their own.

Great for kids all ages! Great prices! The whole family had a blast!

First time going on 6-23-19, very nice place with a great layout. Not a huge place but plenty adequate to beat the heat. Bought my wife and I premium season passes yesterday that way we and our four boys all have season passes. We arrived there at or around 12 and the ladies in the trailer were fantastic in helping us purchase our passes. The Cabanas are pricey $85 through the week and $125 on the weekends I was told. Theres ample chairs with umbrellas spread out but yesterday there was a bunch people and finding one for our family of 6 was a task but easy enough to do. The food was great, ordered hot dogs yesterday but they didnt have chili or cheese also there hamburgers were good. Other than that zero compaints on the food. The slides was great, lines took a bit but wasnt as bad as others there were saying they usually get. Nice layout on the lazy river, its ties into the wave pool/swimming area and reconnects back into the other half of the lazy river. Some of the lifeguards language was obscene for the children on the green and pink slides. There was an animal display of tigers and a talking parrot that my kids were super impressed with. I would like to see some expansion of the place because it definitely has potential and is a contender with Blue Bayou. At closing time they had the lifeguards go out and clean the parking lot, sad that the customers cant clean up after themselves but it shows that GIWP prides themselves on a clean facility. Overall it was a nice place to go and I will be back. Good job guys and gals, yall have earned another family for customers.

I got season passes for me and 3 kids. We will be back all summer. We had a blast. Only reason not 5 stars is the pink slide is very dangerous. We almost flew over the side. And prices for food was way to high.

The staff was nice and it was fun to bring my kids too have fun

I went yesterday it was my first time and had fun it was so clean and i loved to wave pool the workers was so nice !!

Lines to get in way to long and straight in the sun .. But lots of fun stuff once inside

The place is alot cleaner, the lifegaurds are really nice to the people i have brought and seen. My son loves the lifegaurds. I only gave it a 4 star cause we had trouble ordering our passes it was a mess.

Check my grandkids on vacation here and my son and daughter would come back again next year we had a great time thank you Love The lazy River I stayed in it all day long

$164 for me and two children for 4 hours. Mens bathroom was disgusting. It reeked of urine, it was all over the floor. I let them know twice while we were there but they never cleaned it. The place looks a bit run down and weathered. I paid a Disney World price for a sub par attraction

This summer was my first visit (I’m local), and I have to say I was surprised!!! It’s a REALLY nice park and it’s not so big that you spend all day walking. What I really appreciate, as a mother, is how attentive and strict to the rules the life guards are. The cabanas are GREAT! They can be pricey, but if you’re going with a group of people split it up and it’s well worth it!!

Went for season pass pictures and Ive been here a lot before and its awesome !They open this Saturday May 30th, 2020

My grand baby had so much fun

Great place. As shown on T.V

Had a great time with family and friends. Food was great also.

This place is really fun ! They employ many teens during the summer months. I thought this was really cool to see. Lots of fun rides or chill stuff if you’re old or pregnant like I was.

Me and the kids had a great time. Dont forget sun screen or sun glasses though! The gift shop is VERY pricey. I bought sun screen, sun glasses, and that strap to hold glasses on your face and spent $60+

I am late to the party on this, but after 9 years of living 1.5 miles from Gulf Islands Water Park, I finally took the kids LOL! I must say- I am genuinely impressed. It’s not as vast as Blue Bayou in Baton Rouge, but it is a lot more family centered, affordable, and safe. Keep up the excellent work!

Great place for young kids and family. Decently priced.

We decided to go for a few hours at the end of the day. Needless to say they dont prorate prices since it was 2 hours before they closed, nor do they take American Express cards. Another thing is if it dont get dark until 8pm why do they close at 6pm when thats 2 more hours they can make money. Needless to say we wasted our time, gas, and money since we came from 2 hours away to come visit this place I have never been before. Dont think Ill come back either.

Hi Everyone! I go there every year to celebrate my birthday with family. Each year I rented a gazebo to stay cool. Its the best time. Beats picking out a restaurant. Family fun for all ages.

Great time with wife children and grandchildren 2020 covid19 living

I have sooooo much fun!! Lol I was a kid all over again.

Buy passes every year.2000 was bad.only went 3 times and there was fake hair floating around,people on top each other,inappropriate behavior and inappropriate swimsuits for a family oriented place.lifegaurds dont enforce

We had lot of fun in the water park. Slides are excellent. Food is good here and not expensive. Place is easy accessible from Interstate. Lockers are easy access.

Awesome for a day full of fun. 5 large slides. Kids loved the racing slide. Wave pool and lazy river were good to chill after the slides fun was over. Three nice areas for kiddos up to 5 years old. Food was very good for water park food. Rent a cabana if its raining. They stop the attractions only for lightning. If its raining with no lightning the park stays open.

My family and I had a great time!

We have a great time every time we come here

Hire better lifeguards, ones that take their job seriously.

Enjoyed the park and the experience with my kids. It was very clean and the employees were very nice. Lots of nice facilities and tremendous water slides that make it so much fun. Lots of wet areas for the little ones to have fun in as well. I would certainly come back and enjoy the park again.

Had so much fun with the fam!!

Be prepared to spend while your here. This park is one of the best places near the coast to cool off in water thats salt-free. If you live anywhere close by, the season pass will definitely be worth your while. If you want to save a buck, eat before you come or tailgate while there. Bring some sandals or better yet some swim shoes if your a tender foot, if your not in the water the ground you walk on is on fire. Great place for family fun in the sun.

Always the best family fun on the coast!

I love this place so much and its awesome place too go!

The park is well supervised and staffed. There are employees constantly making sure the park is clean and issues addressed. The cost of food is reasonable but Better when you use the coupons with the premium season pass. The coupon book is only an additional $10 which it pays for itself in your 1st trip to the park. The bathrooms are clean and fans keep them comfortable and dry. You can’t bring food or drink in but you can get a wristband to come back same day. There are all kinds of fast food restaurants and nice ones within 2 mile of the park including shopping for the girls between swims. My only suggestion would be to consider making it 1/2 price within 3 hrs of closing which allow for additional revenue.

A amazing place to relax and have fun anytime!

My first time ever going and had a blast

Season passes are reasonably priced, especially if you purchase a day pass ahead of time and then upgrade. Theyve made a couple of nice improvements for the younger children over the last year or two and the staff seems to have improved. There are a couple of bridges that get unbearably hot and the kids pirate cove needs 2 guards at the top. Other than that, we enjoy our time there.

This was my first time taking my kids and nephew (ages 1,2,4,8,14) to a Waterpark and we thoroughly enjoyed, even the baby! We are traveling from Louisiana and will definitely be back next summer! Very nice attraction and fun place to take the kids!

A really nice place to relax. That is if you get the season pass and a lot of sunblock.

I would stay in that lazy river aaallll day! :-) Great for the entire family. Loved it.

Staff is friendly. Water is cool. Rides are fun. Its a small, entertaining little park. A great way to break the MS heat. I moved from Wisconsin in January, a half hour from the water park capital of the world. Google Wisconsin Dells. This is no Noah s Ark, Mt Olympas, Kalahari,etc. But a nice place to cool off.

I cant seem to find anything that I entirely dislike about this water park. All the tubes and slides are enjoyable, the workers are nice, and its overall a great place to go to with family or friends. The food is great at a reasonable price, which I prefer their pizza. They always play nice music everywhere around. The changing room, though, kind of bothers me. Theres no privacy, so people of every age has to change in front of everyone. Luckily the restrooms are options for changing in.

Absolutely awesome place to spend the day. No outside food or drinks allowed in. Pack it up in an ice chest and leave it in your vehicle. Leave out of the park for a picnic and enjoy or buy what you need inside. The food and drink is pricey but to be honest is good.Get the season pass and go several weekends in a row, very worth it after the second visit for a family of 5.

The water park was amazing! The only issues I had with the water park were that there were more people than inner tubes and the lines were crazy long unless you got there really early or really late. :(. Other than those two issues, this place was pretty awesome!

Great Fun for the whole Family.

Great summer fun!

Awesome waterpark. I hope to be able to make this a family tradition spot for years to come

This place is fun no doubt but also overrated

Great time, short lines. Nasty bathrooms

A good place with mostly friendly employees. Clean, good environment. Not very big, however, and while the slides are fun, there is nothing particularly special about them. The kids always enjoy the wave pool and the slides. 4 stars.

So much fun! I enjoyed the Christian and family appropriate music. The lifeguards were nice and alert. It was easy to move around with our 5 kids. I liked that it wasnt too big.We ordered a large pizza and it took over 30 mins to get it. There was no numbered system or anyway to identify us, so Im guessing our pizza as probably given away several times before we got ours. I had to ask twice (and wait 5-10 min in between asks) before getting it. That was my only complaint.

I had so much fun

Very great the people were nice and I really recommend it for anyone that has kids they have good food... However some of the lines were really big and slow... but Overall it is pretty great

So much fun!!! Great service!!

Awesome place the slides are so cool

This is a fun water park that is very reasonably priced. Plenty of slides and attractions to keep you busy. Some of the rides do tend to have long lines so if you can go on a day thats less crowded, do it. The food here is pretty solid, especially the sweet shop. The only reason I couldnt give it 5 stars was the immature life guards, their inappropriate commentary to the younger kids needs to be addressed.

Got a season pass and love it

We had a lot of fun. Great family experince

Fun for the family. Highly recommend. Season passes are definitely the way to go. Lots of fun and food is pretty good

Very fun and kid friendly of course:)

We have really enjoyed visiting this park the past several weekends. There are 2 kids areas that are very stress free for the parents and the kids love it .We received discounted season tickets from a family member who works at keesler Federal credit Union. We have avoided the high cost food and drinks by eating outside under a shade tree. There are no food or coolers allowed in the park, only water. You can get an arm band if you need to leave, this will allow you to come back in. I would recommend a season pass if your local.

Fun place for a family and friends can always go
