Best Water Park Sterling Heights Near Me

Ash O: Family fun

love kings 680: The splash pad/kid area is awesome and is it's obvious that it is very newly redone. Fun for little and big kids... Even adults! The lazy river is fun (although a women started to drown, an ambulance was called and they had to shut it down for a while because she had vomited. The person I was with has an issue too where she was shoved forward by the current under water and almost hit her head.) As long as you're careful though it should be fine. The wave pool is fun but always very crowded. The waterslides are also fun but the stairs can get very slippery. The concession stand was closed the day we went due to low staff. All around a good time for all ages!

Frau Bischof: O lugar não estava muito cheio, conseguimos ir em todos os lugares sem ter que ficar esperando em longas filas. Tem muitas pessoas trabalhando observando as pessoas na água e parece bem seguro

senta johnson-smith: Beautiful Place

kees bronz: Leuk park beetje veel zwemmeesters juffen

Iamericka89 Ericka: My family and I had a fun day in the sun! The water slide line wasn’t too long, picnic area was clean, bathrooms were clean and the staff were nice. I was very annoyed that there were soo many bees surrounding our table, my elderly grandmother was terrified. I really wish they would have had the park treated/ sprayed. We tried moving to a different picnic area, it didn’t help. Other than that, we still had fun. Next time I’ll probably bring a natural repellent.

Christina McCollum: Very fun and clean.

Suzanne Pasechnik: Makayla, one of the lifeguards, was very helpful to my husband and myself in the lazy river.

Jenn Pagel: Great place to take kids.Update: still a decent place to take kids but prices have gone up and miss the old kiddie area. Kids keep scraping themselves up on the slide cuz it's just a short pad they slide over.... not into water. For the price they need to get another water attraction to make it worth it. Plus concession stand is extremely limited with just ice cream sandwiches and chips... that's it!!!

Jade Edwards: And a great time was had by all

rachel stiefel: Went here for my niece and nephews birthday and really enjoyed myself. The last river was definitely my favorite part. I went on a Saturday and it wasn't to packed where we didn't have to wait super long to get on the slides or anything

Evgeny Dobrov: Great place with kids. Better to go during the week if time permits. The new kids water park is there 🏆

Morgan Springborn: Absolutely love Red oaks water park lots of rules but it's a good thing cuz it's very easily to get hurt in a wave pool with lots of people around and slides and lazy Rivers they're really good with their security at the front gate so you know your child will not go missing they also do random saves with a doll in the water excellent place to have fun a little pricey and they don't carry much food in their area for snacks it was just chips yesterday but I brought my own food so it wasn't that big of a deal all in all great place to have fun with your family for a few hours worth the $88 for four people cuz it's open from 11:00 to 7:00

Shannon Grey: 5 stars all around! The lifeguards are ON GUARD AND all of the staff that we encountered have been friendly and helpful! I highly recommend!

Ron Rempe: Haven't been there in years love all the updates went there for dog walking

Tattuu Jason: One of our favorite parks to take kids/dogs for nature walks. Great playground. Soccer field. Ice rink in winter. Splash pad in summer. Live music in summer as well.

Andler: Beautiful.

Alex V: Playground: Multiple playgroundsDog-friendliness: Very dog friendlyPicnic area: Lots of picnic tables and grills, covered pavillions

Afsheen Husain: This park was so fun to explore! First time here, decided to park explore. Nice walking trails, and fun to walk through the forest. Found an abandoned crane from the late 1950s or early 1960s!

Angela T: Absolutely a good place to walk the dog.

Roberta Wagner: Went with my son and his family. It was my first time there. Beatiful park!! SO clean and well maintained. My grandson loved the duck pond!Restrooms: Restrooms were clean and unisex so parents can bring children of either sex safely and comfortably into any of them.

Gail Guastella: Dog-friendliness: Very nice and clean place to walk the dog. All the visitors are very friendly.

Shannon McCallumore: I love this park. It's more fun in the summer when the splash pad is open but the trails are beautiful

Chris Johnson: Plenty to do here. My only complaint is that there are not enough seats on a busy day. Other than that, great place!

Jennifer DeGrandchamp: Give em an icee they be gone and jumpin jumpin

Beatrice Mayes: My granddaughters Love this place. Both asked me to get membership. Bumper cars, race cars, pizza, everyone was nice and friendly.

Brian Jackson: Kids birthday 7th party. He loves the place . Service could be a bit better but it was ok . Food was ok nothing special.

Kia Ross: This is the worst place ever!!! Don’t ever take your family here!!! The manager, Ben, doesn’t care about anything that occurs at this place, as long as you pay your money, is all they care for. Raw food they don’t care!!! They knew that 90% of the events did not work and they still accept your money and no refund.. Sky Zone is the place to be… At least when they are an event that is out of order they will not charge you for it!!! This place is terrible!!! I have reported them to the BBB!!!! Such a Hazard for an environment for children!!!!

Joseph McEvoy: Not a good experience... That's all I'm going to say

Tara Boufford: My 8 year old had a lot of fun. Personally, I felt that the lighting is poor and I think it could have been cleaner.

Mark S: A ton of fun for the whole family. Will adult bodies regret acting like a young athletic body again? Yep, probably. Did I end up on my back at home after taking ibuprofen to relax? Yep, but I was fine. It was worth it to see the kids having fun! There's so much to do. Don't forget to look up! There's stuff to do above as well. I added a video of the zipline - a must try!

Barbara Yates: Great place for both kids and adults. Went for a birthday party it was so much fun. Definitely will be bsck.

Josiah: It's a fun place with lots to do. It's like an indoor C.J. Barrymores. However, at some attractions, the lines move so slow. Especially the Sky Rider: They should have one person at the top (strapping and sending the people off on the ride), and two people at the bottom (one strapping, one unstrapping). They only have two people, they strap a certain amount of people at once, and then they send the people up to the ride.This causes a long wait because they are not constantly sending people up and down the ride. Even with a short line, it will take at least 30 minutes. They need a more efficient way of loading people, so it shortens the wait. Weekends are the WORST here!

Walter Lee: Great for kids

William Easterday: This place is great. Well maintained, friendly staff, great activities for kids and adults. We will definitely be back as a family to enjoy their activities!

Reyelle Brown: My family and I really enjoyed it here, my kids had a great time! My son had his 7th birthday party here, it was very pricey for the packages and to only have 10 kids covered. We had the highest package and paid $100 more for a v.I.p room. Still could only have 10 kids, it was regular price for extra kids. But the activities and were so much fun! Would recommend to go at an earlier time, because they get crowded.

Tamiko Edwards: The kids had a blast. Fun place for kids and adults. Big room for party. My grandbaby had a birthday here.

Scott Alan Blanchard: An INCREDIBLE indoor place for parties -- or even just for fun. Very clean. Impressive how much there is to do! Like the Dave and Buster's for kids.

David Smith: It's a very nice place for the kids, but most of the staff move very slowly, lines are long, even if they aren't that long, there will still be a long wait. Anything that involves a harness, you will wait! Instead of preparing the next group with the harness that are hanging right there at the start of the line, you will have to wait til the group in front of you is done, watch the staff very slowly remove all harness, and then prepare the next group. Just my opinion

Michelle Nard: Awesome place, the kids had a great time. We shall return.

Anna Conerly: Fun spot to hang out!

Heather Wilson: Had a Teammate Outing there yesterday with my crew. The staff and experience was exceptional

Stephanie Zaner: Amazing

TiLynn P: I honestly thought it was a great place for my family and me to spend one of the last days of summer.

def Tone: Not worth the money. Not enough of anything to accommodate needs. $5 would be adequate...

love kings 680: I absolutely LOVE going here in the summer!! I love how the pool is walk in because you can just sit on the shore area and little kids can play. When my daughter was a kid she was obsessed with the small waterslide in the kid's area. Two fun waterslides... One with an intertube and one without. A nice consession stand that is very reasonably priced. It has a much better atmosphere then some of the bigger water parks and always seems super clean!

Sriza: It showed on the website that it was open but when we got there it was closed and there wasn’t any holidays or anything like that.

Lerlean Brown: My daughter's loved it. It was the youngest birthday. But there's something there for everyone.

Lindsay Simon: This is a great water park. There is a splash pad for the little ones. The pool is a nice size with 3 lap lanes. There are 2 water slides. 1 for tubes and another for persons. The life guards were helpful in allowing children to attempt a swim test for the slides. My daughter is 9 and we enjoyed swimming for several hours.

Isaiah Pickens: It was pretty fun! Food was delicious and the lifeguards at the waterslides were so kind and handled problems well. The bathrooms were definitely gross though.

Mary Shenouda: Long review!! The experience for swimming classes in the center is not the greatest. The staff is friendly but truly don't really know how to help. When I arrived on the first day, trying to figure out where is my daughters class took 10-15 mins. Everyone asked me what is the class code? Even when provided, did not make a difference. When they could have simply looked her up by name instead of making me loop around the whole pool figuring out where is her class!As for my other daughter, the coach sprained his arm (Shane) and can't hold her and she is screaming to get out of the water. I had to run the session for her where I kept encouraging her and putting her back in the water. She was still scared but she was asked by her coach to walk in the water. Granted, I am not a swimming instructor, but I saw that my daughter panicked for that request. I feel that things could have been conducted differently. Especially she missed half of the sessions due to an injury and that was her first time in the latter half. Also, she was with "a stranger " not with family and no floating devices. Based on all of these factors, I feel things could have been conducted differently and in a more friendly and less intimidating way for her.Overall, it was an okay experience. I am unsure if I would repeat it.Edit on 8/1. I was never contacted from the office despite sending an email as they asked for.

Khaled Ali: Busy

iTzNAKiB (ITzNAKiB): it was great the water slide was the bestt

Victoria Garcia: This place is a public safety hazard. How it is still open, I don’t know. The bathrooms had old backed up water in a puddle all over the floors and exploded diapers in the showers. The pool had dirty bandaids, dead bugs, and trash floating in it, not to mention the water was just overall murky and gross. The lifeguards seemed extremely undertrained and the office offered zero help for any refund. And then willing told us that they didn’t have ppl to clean the bathroom for women bc it was a male janitor. I don’t know it was okay to have your business be a public health hazard just bc you didn’t hire the right staff. Overall- go to LITERALLY any other place than this. My family has went to the wave pool since we all were babies and NEVER had an issue. Truly disgusted by the staff and conditions of this place. This may be a “family” center but I wouldn’t even bring an animal here.

Gary Landry: Great place

samantha richards: Had my 9yo birthday here and it was so GREAT! This was our first time there as well, the kids had a blast and I was so happy with all that was available for them to do. Highly recommend for family fun for all ages, accomadates even the littles, once I got there I wished I had brought my 1 1/2yo. Teenagers even showed up and had a blast!

tamara estefo: Nice place but high prices

Timothy Sawwah: If you are a local, make sure you show your Id and mention it otherwise you will be charged 1.5x the price. Its not crowded during weekdays. It’s great place for family with kids. You can’t bring in your food or drinks.The lifeguards are doing an awesome job!

Hano Esho: We were there,waited for 30 minutes.Just to find out they were closed for cold weather(it was 75 degrees). I guess they were only closed because of being short staffed, so the cold weather is just a excuse.

Steven Sabens: Beautiful pool and quality help.

Claire: Had a blast today and the food was phenomenal too!! Definitely our new go to!

Ab Cc: Awesome family fun

Angela Gentry: I wanted to love this free splash pad but sadly I cannot. Like other reviewers the slope is not safe and the cement is not slip proof! Someone cut corners here and is a major design flaw for a splash pad! I took my nephew here and he slipped and fell and fractured his wrist. Ruined his spot for fall/winter sports program. The colored areas when wet are much more slippery then plain wet cement. It's Ridiculous. Don't bring your kids here.

Vera Khzouz: Great to have a nice free place to take the kids… so why do I rate it 1 ⭐️? Cause I nearly fell at least twice while simply walking on the colored cement which turns into equivalent of stepping on an ice rink in sneakers once they are wet! I wasn’t even running! I guess my sprained ankle and pulled muscle is better than cracking my skull at least. DEFINITELY will NOT be returning to this hazardous splash pad . My kids lives are too valuable to risk it. I can’t believe how many people were complaining about it while we were there. It’s really a shame. And a waste of tax money.

Leonora Ruffner: This started as a nice idea, but who designed this splash pad? Obviously no one with children. Every green hill has at least one dangerous cement corner that can be fallen into (refer to pictures). In fact one of my children did. Very lucky it wasn’t their head. Then the rocks, a sight for small children does not include rocks that can be thrown, my other child got hurt in the rocks. The final straw was 2 children approximately 6 years of age The parents were obviously not with them. One had a long water gun and plastic sword that he was swinging around while the other child was riding a battery operated mini bike. Neither of them were harming anyone, but the potential was definitely there. Again it was a very nice idea and it is free but the city needs to re think this whole site. We will not be back

Al Ka: Kids under 3 watch out very slippery,My daughter hurt her foot ,Whoever build this didn’t think about safety of our kids and Community,It’s good for older kids

Samson Joseph: House keeping can be improved.

Joseph Hudson: Kids are not well supervised at all. Some parents drop kids under 13 off. But this is a great free place. Small rock pond off to the side kids throwing large rocks. We even saw a kid drinking the splash pad water.

LT Vallier, Nicholas: It’s a cool little spot that costs nothing and has brain freeze ice cream across the street, what’s not to like?

Sarah Grenier: Love the new splash pad!!! Perfect size for the little ones, and even our big kids (7 and 9) had a blast! The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because one of the turf hills for hanging out on has a very dangerous slope down right into a cement half wall (see photos). I foresee this being a cause of injury for the kiddos especially the younger ones. Maybe something can be wrapped around this to make it a friendlier surface if a child rolls/runs down the hill. There is a similar one on the other side of the hill as well.

bon kas-mikha: Really nice. Smaller than the Madison Heights location but that's ok. Enjoyed our time there. Nice area to picnic. Restrooms though we're very dirty.

Галя Панева: Искаше ми се да има и басейн за плуване

matthew brodie: So close to home and with the season pass (discounted for county residents), it makes it easy for our family to visit for an hour or all day. The loss of the two slides is a bummer, but still have the wave pool to enjoy, as well as the kids island. Plenty of staff to give you piece of mind that you and your family will be safe.::::2022 Season::: There is no concessions building this year, so pack food and drinks. If you forget, you can leave and re-enter free as long as you get a wristband before exiting.

Eric DiLorenzo: Missed the water slide

Fontain Buchanan: The best of all grandkids love this place

Jolyn Unger: Great place to play in our community!

Kazi Alam: This waterpark is clean and well staffed. They have a good size wave pool, it runs every 20 minutes for 8 minutes. Enough lifeguards to keep eyes on swimmers. The only thing missing is the lazy river. restrooms are clean, overall we had a great afternoon.

Farfasha: I went twice and both time I had fun with my family.

Natalie Bennane: fun besides the water slide being shut down and food not being served

Elena Rodriguez: Amazing place to bring your children to have fun with family and friends

Janelle Auch: Having just been at Red Oaks within the past 10 days, and having an excellent experience there, we were shocked by the sheer rudeness of the Lifeguards at Waterford Oaks. While we acknowledge this isn't an easy job, there is absolutely NO need to speak to people the way that nearly every single guard spoke to both children and adults all day. One of the biggest points of contention is that there is no posted sign that people may not be on the wall to the left of the pool and it is confusing because you are able to be on other areas of the walls. When the Lifeguards would whistle for that particular infraction, most people could not hear them, especially when the waves were running, at the entrance of the pool. Whoever is training these guards has some serious work to do. I overheard countless children and adults alike complaining about the incessant rudeness. Additionally, there is no posted notification on the website that there are no longer water slides at the park and the cost of admission does not seem to be in alignment with the fact that there are only two attractions.Finally, the bathrooms were disgusting despite the park having been closed the previous day and we arrived at opening. Toilets did not flush, messes had been festering seemingly for days, they were dirty and smelly. Really disappointing experience.

Nancy Benedict: Very fun and safe

Stephanie Price: Fun little water park. It would be great if they also had water slides.

F T.: Had a great time with the kids at the wave pool here, lots of fun especially with the tubes! There’s a separate splash area with slides and a structure but is only really for younger kids. The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is because you have to pay to get in even if you are not participating in the water and are only there to supervise.

Donte Stafford: Daughter and granddaughter loves the wave pool. Bring your coolers with food and drinks because the snack bar is closed. Also bring the life jackets for the little ones if you have them. You can also grill on the premises. Grills are set up around the property. First come first serve.

Cara Livernois: Very good experience. Will be back.

kathleen merz: The playground area needs to be updated. Needs fencing all the way around it with a latch gate, that toddlers can't get open. More safe equipment for kids play on. It's shame I live so close to this park, but it's just not safe playground or that entertaining to take my grandchildren there, I have a autistic grandson that needs to play in a safe environment.

BALA KRISHNAN: Poorly maintained facility, every single activities is broken except wave pool.

Kendra Skronek: Nice and clean. Lots of lifeguards. You can go in and out easily. Tables in the shade were available too.

Matthew Peach: An awesome pool park! They have a great wave pool with lots of seats, and several shaded spots. They have barbecues onsite for you to use.The kids pool has a large area for them to play around. Plus they have lifeguards everywhere! The whole place is very clean.Be sure to get there early, as they often sell out. Bring your coolers but leave any glass and adult beverages at home.
