![]() ![]() Me and a few friends went to "Fun Town All Grown Up Night" July 16th 2022. The wait time for the Mammoth family tube ride was easily over an hour long because the attendants at the bottom couldn't bother to grab a few extra family rafts to send up and waited for those currently in use to put back in rotation when the raft dolly could have easily accommodated more. However the changing rooms were dark and absolutely FILTHY and the food stands are way overpriced. The only redeemable quality about this place is the water park. It was a really sad and disappointing experience for him. With that, my son was too scared to go on the "adult" rides and not allowed to go on the more age appropriate kiddy rides. As we were done paying at the ticketing booth, the manager there asked us to come back and forced us to upgrade one of my kid's tickets from a child to adult ticket and pay the extra fee as he was just a smidge over the "child" height. Now that I'm returning with my own children, I was disappointed to see how old and tired all the rides looked. I haven't been to Funtown Splashtown in over 30 years. The entire park itself baffles me In ways it was fun I will have to admit but if these were fixed it could be so much better. The biggest one was 20 dollars, who pays that much for a locker? I can’t be the only one that thinks that’s ridiculous. they locked us in so we had to go under chains to leave.Īnd what baffled me was when there was only one locker section for the entire park, and the prices were quite outrageous 12 dolllars for the tiniest locker i have seen in my life, might as well throw money away these days. ![]() So we got lost he pointed us the far way with a lot of turns so we had no idea at all where to go we ended checking 3 maps on our phone and only then we figured it out ourselves. The Astrosphere ride was fun yet I miss the old one instead I looked at aliens and skulls the music was nice and the carpet was too but I can’t see how it was improved other than that.īut that day there was supposed to be a storm, the ground was flooded to our ankles and pouring rain we had asked a worker if he could show up the way out he pointed one way and ran off. This structure is NOT made to be climbed on.The water park was okay a simple 3 foot pool in which I wished were deeper as u couldn’t use the 3.6 ones because I have a problem with waterslides but oh well it was fun. There are scales on it that the kids enjoyed playing with. Ripples is an interactive structure just outside the splash pad. Public restrooms in the adjacent concession building are still in the final stages of construction and are not yet open to the public. There are also walking paths throughout the area. It will also be home to a ton of outdoor, community events. The area provides a LOT of green space for kids to run and play. The Johnston Town Center has plans to convert this into an ice skating rink during the winter months. The splash pad area is surrounded by a railing.

In-ground LED lighting will light the water features during the evening hours. ![]() This splash pad offers fun water structures full of fun!
