The waterpark is OK for the area. It's certainly not the most extravagant waterpark even in Ohio, but has all of the basics you expect. The other reviews about the check in process and rooms were all accurate. Upon check-in in the morning to get our waterpark passes, they said starting around 2pm you could start checking in for your... More

If you have kids under the age of 12, it's a nice waterpark. Crowded but, if you are in a room, the park opens an hour earlier just for guests and you can ride a lot then. We paid the extra 50.00 for the early check in at 11:00 (WELL WORTH IT) the day of our stay and I am... More

We were planning to use vouchers purchased at a fund-raiser for day passes one day over spring break. I called a week ahead of time and was told twice to call the day of our visit at 11:00 to find out if they were at capacity. I also made several phone calls and left 3 messages for a food and...

We are sorry hear that your visit was a bit frustrating, we always want our guests to have a wonderful time. We apologize that the park was crowded which caused long lines and a limited number of tubes; it is a very busy time of year for us, that is why we sometimes have to stop selling day passes to...

I was really nervous about staying there after reading all the bad reviews. Now, as a mother of 4 who HATES paying more than necessary for something and feeling ripped off afterwards, I have to give my own review. My only complaint about Fort Rapids was the price. $350 for one night is REALLY HIGH!! But, we stayed on a... More

Doesn't own early enough, closes too ea.ly, too expensive, too humid....not suitable for kids with breathing problems, and tables n chairs too crammed into patio space. Hotel staff annoyed with questions about water park. Life guards were clueless. Food of poor quality n expensive.

The beginning started off really ruff, due to customer service at the front with the booking of the room. Then I realized that we could have just moved to a bigger room with more water park passes. Instead of buying 4 more I would have purchased 2. I then called an spoke to the sales mngr there Annette, advised her... More

Not only did we call first we drove 3 hours to find out that they had no more day passes. Me and my family will never go there again. We wasted our time money and gas on a beautiful day when we could have went to the indoor water park on Cincinnati. The worst part was the manager wouldn't even... More
