I went here alot when I was young and the wave pool can be dangerous on weekends when there are so many people in it. Just like Water Could try was dangerous when there are some with rafts and others are not required to have a raft, even though Michael Phelps could not survive these constant waves... Be careful as... More

This is a really nice waterpark, its the only nice one close to Birmingham. Its really neat and clean. I love the wave pool. The food is good but expensive as always. It's half off admission during the week which is really nice. I go here alot. I would highly recommend this water park to anyone.

Awesome place to spend an entire day of fun in the sun. This place is home to the first wave pool in the United States. Large swimming pool, water slides, different levels of diving and just plain ole fun in the sun. Nestled along the back waters of the Tennessee River it offers some beautiful scenery. Nearby golf course and... More

Suspect it was not as clean as it should be..Suspect that some "gang" members might be there for a day of fun and sun.

You definitely want to plan to spend the entire day at Point Mallard Waterpark. Spend a few minutes looking at the Park's layout online, as it has 2 different large sections and you have to walk about 15 minutes to get from one section to the other. There are some big, exciting slides, a nice big swimming pool, a wave... More

There is nothing wrong with this waterpark -- it does everything you'd expect, but not much more. A little disappointing.

BUSES of people are, well, bused in from Bham, and other cities so the locals are just pushed out. It takes FOREVER to get in, then you have so little space its like you are all on top of one another. Point Mallard has just lost its local flavor since all the other cities have started busing their kids in.

Everyone loved it but me. There were too many people there. I guess that is a good sign. But not for me. The kids really had a good time. I have probably under rated.
