Sahara Sam's Water Park formerly Big Kahuna's

Not bad but not awesome. Good deal w/the Groupon but smallish. VERY very crowded. 2 water slides were closed while we were there which didn't help the long lines. Chaos reigns in the "lazy" river, it's more like crazy chaos river than anything else. Parking is free, lockers are $20 flat all day fee- and you're going to need one because the chairs get taken up and rearranged by large groups. They do birthday parties and group events here which is nice, but should have separate hours for such a small space to accommodate the large groups. Pools were ok, although they were all extremely cloudy by the end of the day. The hot tub area is also very small and unfortunately understaffed so TONS of small splashy kids play in them. The two working water slides were FAST and worth the line. The larger group tube was not worth the hour wait on line. They are staffed with teenagers like most places, however the line cutting here is RAMPANT and the kids working there trying but can't do much about it. There is a large bar w/tropical drinks and good service. A large snack/pizza area w/affordable options. Bathrooms are... questionable though so I recommend figuring out a workable changing option elsewhere if possible. All in all...worth it for the Groupon price -- but wouldn't pay more than $20/person.

Sahara Sam's is absolutely gross, nostalgic, and loads of fun all at the same time. There's a reason why they call it Boomer's Park. It hasn't been updated since they opened. Expect mounds of dust, but a warm feeling if you used to come here as a kid. It's best to get the park ticket before you come through Groupon. The water slides are a lot of fun, even as an adult. If you're coming to this water park, definitely lower your expectations for cleanliness. The children will love it, though, and despite the state of the facilities, you just might too. P.s.- Sahara Sam's should really shut the place down for the day and hire a cleaning crew to clean the outside of the slides, and the whole place, in general.

Worse life guard. Took my child to the kiddie ares everyone was waiting in line except for these two little girl who were unattended that keep going down the slide. There were children still on the slide going down and these girl were smashing into them. He just kept smiling every time they pushed past him. I approached him when the one little girl landed ontop of my child. His exact words were “what do you want me to do” well for starters be a life guard that’s what you are getting paid to do. You’re responsible for the children in the water. If you can’t handle your job then you should not be working at a place with children. Even other parents said stuff and he just blew them off.

Got this off of Groupon for a pretty good deal. Overall I liked the water park it was pretty small but a good time. Two things that need improvement were the cleanliness level of the kid pool and the heated pool & chlorine levels. There was stuff floating in both pools and the chlorine levels slightly too high that our skin was stinging. Just need to improve a little and it'll be a perfect spot for any family. We had fun!

Fun experience. The large pool water was not clear to see thru. It was very evident by the smell and burning sensation of my eyes that they used a lot of chlorine. The overall temperature felt in the 80s. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was good. Overall it was a great family outing with just access to the indoor portion my children enjoyed themselves.
