I have taken my grandchildren to Thunder Falls Water Park a few times. We usually stay right to closing time. The kids love it and have a great time all day. As the Park is not too big and my grandchildren are old enough now to go off on their own, I am able to relax on the beach chairs... More

My nephew loved this place and will be upset to see it gone. Now you have to goto the inside waterparks (Never been and probably will never go) because the Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians is going to build a Casino there...going from being soaked to getting soaked!!!

Yesterday we went to Thunder Falls. The park is generally clean, and the attractions are fun. The only problem is that the water in the lazy river is cold and the wave pool is a little warmer. The tubing slides were great and the body slides were nice, but the orange and blue big slides were closed for whatever reason.... More

It was pricey for a family of four to go for the day. The parks attractions are just okay and not as nice as some other parks that I have been to. The food is marginal and overpriced. The park is not really worth the price, but will work on a hot day.
