Spent a lot of time with the little one in the kids area. Lots of slides and a good splash pad area. Plenty of lifeguards on duty also which was relieving. There was also a decent amount of seating with good shade in this part of the park

Cedar Point Shores is a great addition to the Cedar Point lineup. They did a really nice job updating the old water park and making it into a newer more modern and detailed park. There are multiple water slide towers, a wave pool, a fun lazy river and a few raft slides. A must visit if your vacationing or just around for the day...

The water park at Cedar Point is a ton of fun! Theres all kinds of stuff for every age. Lots of kid friendly areas and plenty of slides and other attractions for everyone else. Two lazy rivers is awesome - one not so lazy. The slides are all fun. The park staff we running the group water slide extremely slow though. Theres a nice adult pool with a bar - bring your ID or you will not get in. Dont try and argue with the staff at the gate, theyre just doing their job. Theres lots of staff around and plenty of lifeguards. Plenty of very expensive food and merchandise options. I think someone in my group paid nearly $20 for a foot long Subway sub. Youre not aloud to bring your own food in. Only closed water bottles unless you have to have something else for medical reasons. If you get there early enough in the day youll have a chance at getting one of the private cabanas near the wave pool. Over all the park is a blast and if you dont have a good time its probably your own fault.

Cedar Point Shores is a good water park. The prices are high if you are paying for a daily ticket for what you get. There are a decent amount of attractions, but they have a very long wait. The water park has become very busy in recent years after they renovated it in 2017. There are still the same cleanliness issues in the park, which should be improved. Some of the staff are rude and not helpful, especially on the slides where some people do not know how to approach the attraction. There is limited information except a Safety Guide, which does not give any instruction. Instead of helping the guest, the employees just stare at everyone and hold up the line. They are really slow as well. A lot of times they are talking and they could be moving the 1-2 hour line much faster. I have visited this water park every day of the week and at different times of the year. The experience doesn’t change much. There are not enough food options inside the water park, so I advise going inside the park (or Hotel Breakers) instead. Also, they need to have more tubes when the waits are that long. Generally, the water park has a culture of being unprepared, slow, and not enough experienced people to handle situations properly.

My review will focus on the cabana, which there was shockingly little about on any review site. If you have $119 or more its definitely with it for guaranteed shade. For a family of four its a bit much, but you can add up to 4 people at $5 a pop, which brings the per person price to a reasonable amount. We went for the bronze package which has a mini fridge and tv, which both came in handy. Having a server was very useful too, but you need to time orders right. It can take 30 minutes to get your order.The park itself was great. Get there early as the lines got crazy around 3pm (we were there on a Sunday). There is no shade in the parking lot, so keep that in mind.I would wear sandals or water shoes to the rides and leave them at the entrance. Your feet will thank you.

Great place to hang out with the family on a hot day. Its going to be packed most of the time but the waits are not too long. There is plenty for the kids to do for all ages. They also have an adult pool with a bar in the back. Live music plays every few hours. Get yourself a drink and relax.

Crowded with long lines for slides during summer months. Rather spend my time/money waiting in lines for the coasters instead of the waterpark. (And my patience for that is being spread pretty thin the last few visits)

Review №10

Great ongoing deal. $110 (with taxes) 150th anniversary gold pass! Thankfully, this pass includes our parking ($16 every time you come). The park gets really crowded quickly & the lines get long. However, depending on the weather, the day you choose to come can make a huge difference! Park is kept clean. We pack little snacks to take to the wave pool or lunches to take a break if we go to the ride side of the park. FYI you cannot bring in coolers. & Food/beverage is on the pricey side. Good way to spend a day.

It was fun visiting this place. There are good exciting slides and a large wave pool and lazy river. There is also an exclusive kids zone if you are accompanied by a toddler. The kids zone has a play area with 2 water slides and a pool with 6-7 water slides. The water temperature is comfortable. There are plenty of food options inside the park including a Subway.

Nice hotel for the cost. Rooms were clean, pool is big enough for several groups to be at, at once. Convenient location, free parking, right by Cedar Point. Less than 5 min drive.

Review №17

Not a lot of slides. Standard cabanas show $119 but when you go to check out they tack on $10 to $30. Cabanas are not clean and have spiders all over them. Dining plan has 6 options to choose from, anything else costs extra.For the amount of $ I spent, it wasnt worth it. Kalahari is MUCH better.

Park is great. Tried to upgrade tickets bought from Costco toward the season pass but a supervisor said we couldn’t even though it said we could on the ticket. Called back a few days later and sure enough we could have but it’s too late.

Loved it. It was a rainy day so it was pretty empty. Super friendly employees. The park was clean, the restrooms were clean. The water was the best part...not over-clorinated, it was perfect.I will be back with my daughter next year. Keep up the good work, guys!

I really did have fun here, I however, I have a platinum pass for Cedar Point and you would think that would get you a locker or something, the lockers are $10, you can’t use them between parks... which sucks... you can’t wear your glasses for ANY slides, so I was blind the whole time :( it’s fun but I wouldn’t personally pay for just the water park.

Not enough shade. Not even umbrellas to rent. Water supplied, so thats good. Good rides. Most shaded area available was in kiddie pool area.

I went here last summer and it is fairly new to Cedar Point. When I went camping at lighthouse point, we walked past it on our way to the park, it closes after labor day weekend, and it was closed for the season.

Review №30

Good exercise, Did not like the fact that half the slides were closed still in the middle of August. For as much money tickets are they should make sure they have enough staff to keep all the attractions open.

Review №31

Need shade areas around the water park. Especially the wave pool. Not a single umbrella, people pulling cots up under the only tree to get shade. Not everyone is there to get scorched by the sun!

Review №34

Freaking amazing ! We didnt even go to the amusement park even, just the cedar point shores. There are so many kid water park/rides. The Lily pad walk, the lagoon,lazy river, the wave pool. Its endless! It does close at 7 pm unfortunately so that sucked pretty bad cuz we got there at 5 thinking it was open till midnight like they are on the weekends. Parking alone is 20 dollars if u go after 4 its 27 per person. No pocket knives or weapons one water and one snack per child. Bags get searched and u walk through a metal detector. So nice. Endless fun. Couldnt even put a dent in all the rides in one day!

When strictly going to the water park, go to the left at the toll booth($20 parking) and avoid parking in the cedar point parking lot. If you find yourself at the Cedar Point parking lot you can still maneuver around to the water park. Follow the road with Lake Erie directly on your left (so you will likely be making a right turn) when you exit the parking lot. My daughter (9) and I have been platinum season passholders for the past few years. The slides are amazing with so many different types. With younger ones, there is a childs pool where there are 12 slides where a toddler/child/adult can use them and it all goes to one pool (about 16-24 in high)I have never had a problem bringing in a SOFT cooler with light food and drinks. A walking trip back to the vehicle is still possible for lunch.

There are a good number of rides, slides, and attractions for all ages. Access to the beach is easy if you want to take a swim there as well.

Fun place. Great for kids. Hours are horrible late in the summer. They close by 6 pm in August. Ridiculous

Review №42

They could turn one of the two lazy rivers into an adult river with drinks. The swim up bar was filthy with insects everywhere because pool level was low and not draining. Few seats around the pool. They could probably deal with a maximum of five feet in there, but its like three feet. An extra 5+ feet pool would be nice for adults that are typically over 5 feet.

Review №43

We rented a cabana here and had the issue of being told one thing by the cabana employees and another by the life guards at the park. I found it frustrating that the lifeguards just whistle at you repeatedly instead of whistling and then explaining what you did wrong (the cabana people told us we could take our drinks on the lazy river and the lifeguards told us we couldnt). Just little stuff like that. It would also be helpful if they added another restroom. There are only two in the waterpark on completely opposite ends and they always have a line.

Review №46

Good place, definitely great place to spent a hot day. But I was disappointed that small (3yrs below) kids cant try any rides, not even the ones around kiddie pool, not even with adult. May be it is a federal rule. But it was a total let down for me.

I find it relaxing to go there. I pretend Im on a week long vacation...even though it may be just for the day. I particularly like the wave pool. It reminds me of when I was at the ocean...the waves and the sound of them. This summer Cedar Point is offering FREE admission for Veterans on Mondays. Just bring your military ID, VA medical card is what I brought along with my driver license. You can get your hand stamped and walk around to the actual beach on Lake Erie. They had bands playing different types of music too.

Review №52

Very disappointed in the amount of Handicap parking at the shores. I counted 23 parking spots for handicapped parking. I had to walk from the overflow parking lot.. main parking lot is a free for all with no parking people to guide anyone. No shuttle from overflow parking. Not impressed. With the outrageous food prices you would think it they would improve this feature.

Review №58

Its great what they are trying to do to add value to the park but on any halfway decent day the lines are just too long for the majority of the rides. The guards need to cycle people through faster, especially on Storm Surge; plan for at least an hour in line on that one, and I am not joking. Changing areas are slippery, dirty and unventilated. On the plus side, the lazy rivers are fun and the adult area is a great idea but like everything else it is too expensive.

Idk about this. I really dont like because I tend to go to cedar point early in the year but if you go to cedar point shores early in the year than itll be too cold. The lines are way to long as well.

Review №72

Although this place used to be organized by the staff now it seems it just a free for all. We spent 6 hours here and we rode two slides. not willing to stand in a 2 hour long line for rides. It was relaxing in the adult area but outside of those gates, there was nothing organized about the rides. The tubes were never returned to the corral area. there were not tubes for either the lazy rivers because children and adults alike simply didnt use them in the lazy river. So imagine trying to float and being pushed by kids playing and kicking water in your face. Used to have rules here i guess they dont anymore. Also we watched many children who were clearly under the height requirements get stuck on the 2 tube rides that we waited for. I would guess thats why theres a height requirement. We have always looked forward to a trip every year to this waterpark. We will not be returning. With the many new options popping up every year, we will look elsewhere for our next waterpark adventure.

I took my family there on 6/8/19. We had the castaway bay 2 day pass package. We decided to go to Cedar Point Shores on the first day so we could enjoy a full day at the actual park. The parking wasnt bad but everything after that was less than what was expected. Theres a infestation of mosquitoes at the Shores, literally everywhere you turn theres a massive hive of mosquitoes. It was like they were trying to make you choose between being comfortable or having fun. We left within a hour even the kids agreed, it was a health hazard that people were being forced to endure
