Venture river water park reviews11/30/2023 ![]() If you're spending a few days at LBL, this is one of the truly fun things for kids to do, so check it out some afternoon.What are the best waterparks in Kentucky?įinding the best waterparks in Kentucky is relatively easy, only because Kentucky doesn’t have too many waterparks within state lines. I got blisters on my feet from just a little walking on the concrete without shoes.take aqua socks! on the Twin Twisters in the family raft, was great fun. While the pools were somewhat crowded, the wait for the slides wasn't bad there was no wait at all for the highest slide and tube slides both are fun. The lazy river and wave pool are nice for kids or adults just wanting to soak in the sun. They have a nice splash pool and slides for toddlers, but you'll want to watch your kids as the lifeguarding isn't adequate for kids eager to push each other down slides. We went on a Friday afternoon with our 5 y.o. $4 for a grilled chicken salad, for example. Despite high admission, the food is reasonable. After 3pm (closes at 6pm) it's $11.50, which is more reasonable and 3 hours should do it for you. If you go before 3pm, admission is $23/adult. Overall, this is a good water park, and I would recommend it if in the area. No rainchecks in case of rain, and no refunds if storms hit just after you go in. No outside food or drink is allowed in, but you can get your hand stamped for re-entry, and go out for a picnic lunch you bring, with outside tables available.Ĭheck the weather before you go. Locker rentals (highly suggested) were $5 for the day, and you get $1 back if you bring the key back before leaving. Overall, the park was clean, had good snack areas and gift shop, with clothes, shoes, and other supplies available. It's equipped with various kid-themed props. Since I have no small children, I didn't use the kiddie pool area, but it looked like they were all having fun over there. You just have to judge it based on yourself. One guy who tried it told me never again. The biggest fear-factor ride was a very tall water slide, where you lay down on your back, cross your arms, and go speeding down to a shallow landing. Tubes aren't needed to get in the pool here, as they are on the slides and lazy rivers. The wave pool was fun, but be ready for people to bump into you as the waves make controling intertubes nearly impossible. There is also a smaller kid version that moves quickly, and has a gig where they dump water from an old-looking water tower on you. ![]() You get wave action in the larger, more adult version. ![]() The park has two lazy rivers, and neither are too lazy. Here is where you will need the rubber water shoes, so you can wear them on the rides, and they do sell them in their well-stocked gift shop area. Lines to ride these slides moved quickly, but the areas to store you sandles in was at the bottom of the slides, and you had to walk to the top on concrete paths. These slides make up the bulk of the park's water activities. Some are completely enclosed and will twist you, while others are open and aren't so bad. The slides come in various forms, ranging from single and double raft sizes (you do use an inflatable raft on all of the mid-sized slides), to a larger four-seater slide that gave you some uncontrolable twists and turns as you raced toward the bottom. Our favorite things here included the wave pool, the big lazy river, and the water slides you ride down tubes on. ![]() But the concrete can get VERY hot, so wear some rubber water shoes to make the wait in lines bearable. This fair-sized water park is a pretty good way to spend a hot day, with everything from high-up, daredevil slides to kiddie pools. ![]()
