Sitting Bull, Apache Plunge, and Crazy Horse my little one could all do by himself, and he did, over and over again. Even so, some of the areas of the lake where you’d come out were 6 to 9 feet deep, and you had to swim out while holding your tube. Most waterslides empty out into the lake below, with a lifeguard sitting by each opening. I just know that my youngest would only want to be where the big kids are, so it worked out well for us that he is a bigger 7 year old that can swim. There are several great areas for younger kids and they looked amazing. This way everyone enjoyed the place to the fullest. However, if my son was younger, he wouldn’t be able to follow his brother and friends on most slides, and that would make for a very unhappy day, so I am glad that we waited a few years before going there. The waterslides were great for this range of ages. My boys are 7 and 12, and their friends were 9 and 13, and of course the parents. They have a total of 7 waterslides and that’s what we came there to do. Then, once parked, we paid $12.00 a person for a wristband that allowed us unlimited waterslides. When we came, we paid the admission fee, which was $11.00 a person. We pretty much had the place to ourselves. There were some teens there in small groups, and a bit of waiting here and there by the slides, but it wasn’t bad at all. We were there on a Thursday, so the place was not crowded.

This was one of the places that opened to public at that time. Most water parks have school groups only on weekdays in June, and then public on the weekends. This place has been on our to visit list for a few years now, so we packed our cooler with lunch, grabbed towels and a change of clothes and headed that way.įirst, let me begin by saying that because we were heading there in mid-June on a weekday. After a bit of looking it was decided that we should go to Tomahawk Lake in Sparta, NJ. When my husband was off for a week this June, we wanted to go to a water park.
