โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…Featured review by Candice Shreve

I celebrated my 44th birthday on April 11th at the Epperson Lagoonโ€ฆ My family and I had the best time. We rented a Cabana in the Cabana Cove sectionโ€ฆ The staff was phenomenal especially Brittani, Arie, Samantha, and a few others were phenomenal very attentive in the Cabana Cove Section. We were VIP and they made sure we felt that! We will for sure be back agin as this experience was top tier!! Thank you for making my day very special!

๐Ÿ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with kids aged 5 and up who are comfortable in open water. The obstacle course and inflatable slide suit school-age children most. Cabana rentals are worth booking for full-day visits with young children who need a shaded base. Non-swimmers should stay in the shallow beach entry zones.

โ„น๏ธ What to Know Before You Go

๐Ÿ’กReserve a cabana in advance for Cabana Cove โ€” they sell out on peak summer weekends
โฐWater hours close earlier than the overall venue, so plan swim activities for the first half of your visit
๐ŸŽŸ๏ธCheck the weekly events calendar for live music and themed activity days before booking
๐Ÿš—Enroll kids in summer camp sessions weeks ahead โ€” enrollment fills quickly once announced

โ€œUpon arrival at opening the inflatable obstacle course was visibly covered in goose droppings. This created an unsanitary condition on an attraction where guests are expected to climb, sit, and play directly on the surface. When I asked a lifeguard about the sanitation of the inflatables, she responded, โ€œwe didnโ€™t get a chance to clean it,โ€ which was concerning given the obvious hygiene and health risks. In addition, we were not informed prior to purchasing tickets that certain attractionsโ€”including the kayaksโ€”were closed. These were activities we expected to be available when we paid for admission. Discovering after arrival that key attractions were unavailable significantly diminished the experience and the value of the tickets we purchased. As paying guests, we expected a clean and safe environment and clear communication regarding attraction availability. Unfortunately, neither expectation was met during our visit.โ€
