I love coming here each summer with my sons. I was surprised when google recommended I do a review as I thought I had already done one. This is a smaller water park, which is perfect to keep a close eye on little ones. They keep it very clean and even during peak times the lines are better than larger parks. I have been bringing my boys for many years and am glad they are located here. I also like that there is an outside picnic area if you bring a cooler. You do have to keep it in your car but are able to go out to that area for lunch and return back in after. This keeps expenses down when you can’t afford the snack bar.

Looks nice but the gates are always locked... Like they dont want us swimming there. Almost like there is a pandemic or something. I dunno, Ill check back next year.

Very nice softball fields. Visited for tournament. Very nice maintained fields, clean restrooms, nice concession stand. Workers actively on hand to help with trash, field prep between games, and even furnished water coolers for the teams in the dugouts. I was well impressed. Wish my hometown fields were anywhere near close to this quality. I have not been to the aquatic center but it looks like a nice small park to have fun and cool off.

Its over priced. I would not pay full price to go here. It is a zero entrance pool, meaning that the water starts at zero inches and gradually moves deeper the farther into the pool you are. By the 2 water slides it is maybe 4.5 feet. There is a small kid play area, which my 5 year old loved, with slides, water activities, and such. When we went one of those slides on the small kid play area was boarded up because it was broken. The lazy river is small, but pretty peaceful. They try to keep kids from being loud and crazy in that area. The snack bar was closed when we went, so I have no idea on the prices.

Came here during their half off special between 4pm-7pm on Mondays-Fridays. A great family deal . place is not the grandest, but good for the money and fun for kids under 14. Did not use restrooms here. Did not purchase food either. Only water is allowed in.

This is a great waterpark for families with small children. They have 2 slides for the big kids, but a great play area for the little ones! A nice lazy river too! It is inexpensive to get in and a nice environment. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful!

My son loves this place. It’s definitely not huge but that is the part I like. Easier to keep an eye out but still let them roam freely. Only reason o gave 4 stars is because the card readers didn’t work at the concession stands so bring cash as a backup. Other than that, it’s a nice place

Great place for the family. 3 different areas. Waters cold but great for a hot day. Kids loved it. Water slides are awesome!!!! Lifeguards pay attention and help out when needed. Only payed 8 dollars a person and it was totally worth it for the whole day!!!

Great size water park for children under 10 years old. My grandchildren are 5 and 7. They absolutely loved Tie Breaker but my friends kids didnt. They are 11 and 13. Unfortunately it was boring for them.

Me and buddy of mine went with kids and got their 4 mins before half price and was sent too back of line, then when we got to counter they told us we couldnt bring float for my 1 year old nephew but did not provide us with float big enough for him. They also would not let us walk in water next to float my 4 year old niece was in just said that we had be in float and that was only way we could be In the lazy river, I will never go to this place again.

Terrific place for family fun. Small enough so as not to overwhelm the little ones but, the large slides will entertain bigger kids.

Review №19

My youngest is an inch too short for any of the water slides here but can ride them at any larger water park. We have only been twice and at mid afternoon, the teens take over and rough house so aggressively that Im afraid my small children will be hurt so we usually dont stay very long. Im glad we have something around to do, but i wish the locals are certain to ruin it.

It is a good place for kids and some adults, but mostly young kids. The price is decent, but if you plan on not getting in the water inform them because you can pay half price, but the prices are reasonable. You cannot bring any outside food or beverage, they do check your bags thoroughly and will confiscate them, but if ya want you can still bring like a cooler for a picnic and eat before or afterwards on the outside picnic table areas because its in a park of some sort so thats beneficial or you can eat before or afterwards at one of the local restaurants down the road. The young staff reminds me of a Disney show, not a bad thing, but funny and theyre serious an they dont play, which is a good thing, they have no problem laying down the law real quick!! Its like a small splash park, lazy river, and 2 decent slides, water is no deeper than 3 feet, and plenty of tanning area or shaded areas also, plus they have a snack bar where you can buy food and stuff, but I didnt get to check that out.

This place is absolute trash. My family and I drove over an hour to come here and we were promised it was open. We arrive and the park was deserted so we checked the hours of operation and they should have already been open for 2 hours at that point. We tried calling multiple times and no one answered. There were no answers or anything saying why it was closed. What an absolute waste of gas and my time. And I didnt even get to swim.

This would be a nice mini water park if there was not so many things wrong. The pictures in my opinion makes this place look bigger then is actually is, Its all a matter of perspective. My family and I drove 30 minutes on 3 different occasions to Tiebreaker. First thing I noticed was the employees were very young, disrespectful, uncaring, and seemed very irritated if you came to them with any questions or concerns. The female restrooms / changing area was unclean. It really didnt even seem like they bothered to clean it regularly. I recommend if you do visit, bring flip flops. The floors were pretty bad. This is also where the lockers were and I noticed that a good 15+ lockers were damaged. To me it looked like the lockers were damaged by someone yanking on the handles and ripping off the section the doors locked to. For this reason I didnt use the lockers. The second time we went one of the kids slide on the kids play area was blocked off with a piece of wood!? Wow. The 3rd time we came they reopened that kiddie slide and removed the wood. If you have children above the age of maybe 12, theres no a whole lot for them to do. There is 2 large water slide that they can go down repeatedly the entire time they are there. The other option is the lazy river which I was informed more then enough that my feet could not touch the ground and at one point was chewed out for putting my feet in the water. You have to be SITTING in an inter tub at all times and your feet can not touch the ground!!! The current is not very strong so we pretty much stayed in one place for quite some time. At that point I decided to exit the lazy river with my kiddo and the minute I got out of my tub the lifeguards were jumping all over me. I had to inform them I was leaving the river. Wow. Other then the 2 slides the water is not deep enough for teenagers to enjoy. Every time I visited this place the teenagers were running over smaller children, playing on the small kids play area that was designed specifically for younger children. I had to be right there with my children to make sure they did not get pushed around by the older teens. Whats sad is that parents of the young children ( toddlers, etc) who needed to be with their children while they played, did not have much space to do so. This place was SO overcrowded by teens and other parents trying to protect and watch over their young ones. I was bumped and hit by teens trying to rough house, adults trying to navigate in the crowd, and small children just trying to play during 2 of my visits. It was a bit overwhelming to say the least. One day out of the 3 days we went was not to busy thank goodness. Im my opinion this place either allows to many people to enter or is entirely to small. I used to take my kiddos to one similar to this in Missouri, however that one had an indoor pool, as well as an outdoor larger pool that was connected by the lazy river for the older kids and adults to swim and play leaving the children play area safe for the younger ones. Now this place does have plenty of seating, I guess thats a plus, the food is okay nothing spectacular and priced okay. There was a young girl working at the concessions that was nice the 3rd time we went. If you decide to go, try to go on a slow day. Unfortunately there is not a lot of places like this to take the kiddos during the summer, unless you are willing to drive an hour or more. I wanted to experience this place a few times before I posted my opinion or review. In my opinion, I was not happy with the experiences I had here. I hope they take the steps to correct some of these issues by next summer. I wouldnt recomend this place at this point. But this is just my opinion and based of my experience.

Review №24

I gave it 3 stars because closing the pool for 20 minutes is excessive. I ran a pool for several years and been to many different installations and have never encountered anything that excessive especially during the heat of the day. I would recommend an adult swim if the lifeguards need a break that bad.

Review №29

This is NOT a waterpark like I had thought. Its basically a public pool target towards kids. They have them in every small towns. Ive been to a few in the state of Iowa, but this is definitely the most expensive one. The ones Ive been to charges like $2.50 or $4. They have a few kiddie equipment and slides that young kids would definitely love though. If youre military, Id recommend using the pool located on post instead because this is also quite a drive from base too.

Review №33

We booked a party for my daughters 6th birthday and I am highly disappointed in this establishment. Had a horrible experience from beginning to end. The moment we walked in the young lady at the front desk was extremely disorganized and couldn’t tell us where to set our party because other guest were sitting at the pavilion which we had reserved. When we got down to the pavilion the people who were sitting there apologized and moved their stuff so that wasn’t a big deal. Our next issue was a EXTREMELY DISRESPECTFUL life guard who had the audacity to tell my husband that “he must not care about my daughters safety” simply because he wanted to put her on the slides and yelled back and forth with him in front of my entire party. Classy. Next we ordered two extra pizzas because we thought the first two we had ordered wouldn’t be enough for the kids, once we realized we weren’t going to need the extra anymore we immediately went back to concession and asked them if we could cancel our order because we weren’t going to need the extra two and they refused to cancel the order or give us our money back because they were closing even though we had placed the order less than 5 minutes ago so there went an extra $34. Lastly, when it was time to cut my daughters birthday cake I went back to concession to ask for a knife and some spoons for the cake since the website claims “you bring the cake, we will provide everything else”. When I got to the window they had closed it and put a closed sign up so I knocked on the window a few times because I could see the workers standing around and no one responded so I went to the front desk to ask if they could please provide me some spoons and a knife for my party since concessions was closed and they told me they didn’t have any so they couldn’t help me even though they are connected to the confessions stand. At this point I have an entire party and my daughter the birthday girl waiting on me so we could cut the cake and the entire staff refusing to help me. I went back to the concession stand and yelled through the window if someone could please provide me the utensils because I could literally see the staff standing in front of the window ignoring me and a lady finally gave them to me. Overall, I had a terrible experience for my first time here. My family left feeling embarrassed and completely disappointed. PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY AND HAVE YOUR PARTY SOMEWHERE ELSE.

It is great for smaller kids and just getting to play in water. Get there early if you want a chair under shade. My complaint is the drinking fountains, the water comes out hot. So bring money for water or find out about bringing your own and somehow keeping it cool.

My family drove from Clarksville to spend time at the water park. On the way to Hopkinsville it was sunny also thunderstorms were not in the forecast. We just bought our bracelets, my husband went to use the restroom while I was putting sunscreen on the kids that’s when the lifeguards see lighting so they told everyone to get out of the water (apparently if they see lighting you have to be out of the water for an hour) we go up to the workers to ask them if we can get a refund since we literally just got there and didn’t even get out feet wet... she said we needed our receipt for a refund (my husband tossed it as we were trying to find a place for our stuff) or we can wait because they do rain checks so we were like ok so we have to to stay since they can’t do a refund without a receipt.. so we literally wait in our car for an HOUR with my 4 month old and 3 year old.... by that time it was raining and thundering. I asked my husband to go in to see if we can get a rain check, they told him he would need a receipt! I think they could have been more clear about that! I went up there and told them we drove 30 min from Clarksville! Didn’t even get our feet wet! And we waited an hour with our kids because we thought if the storm didn’t clear up we could come back another day! She did end up giving me a pass for another day after I went back and forth with her but it was just not a good experience.

If your a parent this should keep your kids busy all day. They have a water playground for kids all ages. There is a lazy River and two water slides. The slides are great for kids and adults. They offer food as well. Prices are really good as well they also offer military discounts.

Review №45

It is a nice park but the head of the staff (woman in the picture) was screaming at a staff member for shutting down the park for seeing lightning. Then a min later shut it down herself after there were 2 more strikes. Then refused to give refunds to people who had just paid and hadnt even made it into the park yet. It was a beautiful facility but the people at the gate and head of staff were rude and I will not go back.

Review №47

This was a nice place to go on our family vacation.Not only do they have 2 water slides they have a fairly decent lazy river, a splash pad for littles, 2 different zones for wadding, and a water tower... Which has dump buckets. Those are fun.The day is broken up with the life guards giving a 20 min safety breaks 3 times. This is for them to get the kids to re-apply sunscreen, eat, drink water, use the bathroom and actually rest. All these things if not done can cause dehydration and exhaustion. Which leads to accidents. I believe that this makes the park one of the best I have ever been to.The reason I had to take a star off is for 2 reasons.They are not prepared for the over flow of people to the food stand which only has one window. It causes a massive line and cannot be handled in the 20 min wait. Which then the kids are not eating or drinking. Why then are you not letting families bringing in their own lunches in a cooler. You let them bring in water bottles? You are contradicting your intentions by your actions.The bathrooms are atrocious. Constantly foul smelling. I get we are at a water park and they will be WET! They should not smell like poop. They did not have proper air filtration and it was hot and steamy. They day we went was real feel 106. No fans in the shower areas or restrooms. That needs to be fixed or that becomes an issue for a lot of people.I can deal with the food and bathroom if my child is having the time of his life and is safe. The discount I received for being a Vetran was awesome. The price for civilian was really not bad and had I not been a vet we still would have gone.

Small but cozy aquatic center the whole family will enjoy. Clean bathrooms and plenty of areas to sit. They need help hiring additional lifeguard staff and eliminate the safe breaks which takeaway from time at the park. Nicely stocked snack bar with all the essentials on-hand. Hot Dogs, Pizza, Pretzels, Icee, and soft drinks. I also appreciate their military discount. Thanks for supporting our troops!

This place sucks. We arrived 5 minutes before their 20 minute, boost concessions, break to get in the water for 20 minutes and a storm roll in. Instead of just giving us the rain check they tried to make us waste another hour of our lives standing there when the radar showed it wasn’t going to pass by then. It’s not worth the trip.

Place is small but the small price makes up for it. The amount they charge is pretty awesome. My issue is some kid puked in the pool while we were there and they closed the pool for the rest of the day. It was only 1pm. They did give us a rain check but it is still disappointing because we make the effort to go and only stayed for 90 minutes before they closed. We will go back again though.

We visited this water park today, and yes, while it is smaller than many others out there, I took a 15, 12, and two 10 year olds and they had a blast. With a military discount, tickets are only $5 each and we spent about 5 hours there, completely getting our money worth. With it being local, it is just a short ride and well worth the money to spend and afternoon. Two water slides, a short lazy river and a water play area, this place is ideal for kids 15 and below, any older than that and they will want to start looking at bigger places like Nashville Shores with larger and bigger rides. I highly recommend this park for a great way to spend a day of family fun!

Just be aware. No outside food or drinks except for bottled water. They check all your bags to make sure of it. So, you have to buy from their snack bar. I will say it is reasonably priced and pretty good. I was disappointed today as they shut the waterpark down around 3 pm for 30 minutes to break! That is a long time with kids waiting. So we went to the snack bar, only one window serving a long line...uggh.
