This is a nice splash pad. Has a large bucket that makes quite a splash! Has a small water table area in the corner my littles loved (1 and 3 y/o). Things you should know. 1♡ You have to pay to get in. 2♡ The entrance is the same entrance for The Cascades, dont try to park by the kids playground like I did. 3♡ The water. Is. So. Cold. Really cold. 4♡ There is a concession stand, its cute, but be prepared if you have Littles that get excited by the smell of popcorn. 5♡ The staff is very kind and attentive and the restrooms were spotless. We will definitely return!

Beautiful place with spectacular views of the sunset as Mother Natures own lightshow even before the waterfall lights come on and play along to the music. Ample seating and a little museum about the history of the falls. Nice way to spend a summers evening.

Due to pandemic the light up water falls and splash pad are closed. But still a nice little spot to enjoy some sights. Will see ducks and geese and frogs!

This place is always well-kept, people are very courteous (even in non-pandemic times), and it is an overall safe option for recreation with friends and family. If you are from out of town, I would definitely encourage you to visit the falls at night and experience one of the best wonders that Jackson has to offer.

Fantastic park. I like the dirt trail through the cattails. My one suggestion would be hand sanitizer in the porta potties os needed.

Its very scenic no matter the season and full of great views as well as things to do if you enjoy outdoor scenery or sunsets and it does have some great places for backgrounds if taking family or even regular pictures for landscape.

Ive lived by the falls for most of my adult life in apartments and then bought a house 8years ago, sure it needs the ponds dredged and some work but its an icon and gives a lot of opportunities to be outside and enjoy fresh air

So much to do here, from the ice cream to the sight seeing. The only complaint I have as a parent is they need to update the playground equipment. But they have a brand water park for toddlers.

Very cool falls. They also have light shows that they coordinate music with. Theres am amazing ice cream place in the park as well. There is an admission fee to get into the actual falls, but its inexpensive, and was definitely worth the show.

Love running in and around the park. Of course there is the occasional dog owner who thinks their mutt is the exception to the leash law (but I carry pepper spray). Ha!

You have your choice of walking around the falls (be prepared to get a little wet). And listening to the music and watching the colors of the falls change. It is Beautiful. People drive from all over the U.S. to see the falls. Kids water park to come Summer of 2017. Wednesday night entertainment draws crowds that appreciate local musicians. Affordable for family with kids of all ages.The Falls are fun for all ages, and the stairs are great for some exercise. Do be prepared to get a bit damp, especially if there is a breeze.

What a cool park! There were several paths to choose from, one which goes right through a neat marsh area. There is a 9-11 Memorial and a Memorial for victims of homicide.There are several benches for resting or enjoying the view. You can get to several trails from this park, which is a plus.The cascades only come on at night, so don’t be disappointed if the water isn’t turned on during the day. You can find videos of the light show on YouTube if you can’t make the show.

Always a nice place to visit no matter what season. Well kept, not a lot of trash around missing the natural beauty of the place.the trails are well kept and the pleasure to walk on. Even through the road work, once you got there it was easy to get around. Now that the road work is done, some of the parking spaces are much nicer.
