Roaring Springs Water Park

Awesome experience I came from down south in L.A and the experience at this water park was just incredible! The vibe that everyone gives you isn't that vibe that makes you feel uncomfortable No matter your skin color or weight or anything, you won't feel disappointed or discomfort. As a Hispanic myself, I approve of this water park and would 100% recommend!

Place was like an Incredible John's on steroids!! Huge theme park styled water park in beautiful Meridian. Spent our daughters birthday there with family. Two huge lazy rivers, tons of waterslides, obstacle course with two kids play zone (one for the tinys and one for the 7-10)(both huge as well!), and did I mention, a bar and grill for the adults with beers on tap! Place was amazing! 10/10

A fantastic day sliding with the family. Large play area for the kids. Vertical drops for the youth(or young at heart), and lazy rivers for the timid. We stayed over 6 hours and didn't discover a third of the park. With wave pools and every kind of slide imaginable this place is great. PS Bring your sunscreen!

Fun day, afternoon or evening adventure letting our son run and play in the water. We have been getting season passes the last few summers. If you plan to go more than 4 times I would definitely recommend a season pass. Roaring Springs is a great way to get out of the house and enjoy some fresh air while letting the kiddos run and play. Our son loves to go and so do we!

I really enjoy this place, even as an adult with no kids. The wave pool and lazy river are perfect on a hot summer day after a long day at work. A little on the spendy side for a day pass, so I absolutely recommend getting a season pass!! Go 4 (or 3 if they are having one of their seasonal sales) times and it's paid for! If you've never been and want to go before you commit to a season pass, you can buy a day pass and use that entry fee towards your season pass IF you buy it the same day!!! That's an awesome deal and a bit of common sense in my mind. ☺️

Nice water park that seems to be kept clean. The lines were not terribly long for rides. Lots of options for food. The lifeguards did a great job correcting behavior of unsupervised children rough housing. There was one section of the wave river that it didn’t seem like they could see that children were stopping and causing issues by hanging onto the wall and blocking others. Seems like a safety issue. Price is high. We had several water parks in Texas and the wrist band at Roaring Springs is nearly twice as a very comparable park.

Came for the Spooky Lights Show. My kids loved it! We got the party pack and it came with 2 light wands, 2 pumpkin light up necklaces, stickers and 3D glasses.

Went with my sister and her kids for the first time. It was not very busy in the morning, it was clean, bathrooms were pretty clean, food was expensive for little amounts (but tasted good), you can bring water in so that is nice. My sister was able to bring two small "snacks" in per child. Wait time first thing in the morning for the rides were about 30-45 mins as expected. All in all we had a blast.

Came here recently to celebrate my nephew's birthday. This place is huge! I was expecting a mid-sized waterpark with a few slides and a large area for the kids to play, but I was pleasantly surprised. Not only does it have a massive waterpark with tons of slides and a wave pool, but there are also dry rides, arcades, and they're building even more slides. My nephew has been here before, so he was hyped. Oh, and the best part...they have a full bar. Fun for the whole family!

Movies in a wave pool, friendliest staff around and a chance to get wet all summer long. Ask for Malaya she's always smiling.

Ok! RS is a lot of fun! Especially with the new section! We had so much fun tonight for the splash night. I just wish they could figure out a different solution to safety that doesn't involve getting on a scale when you are in your swimsuit!! Yikes!! Come on!

The staff was awesome, besides one guy that yelled at us for getting in the water like one second early, the rest of the staff was awesome, all of the slides were super fun, the food was a bit over priced, but other than that this park was awesome. The slides were super efficient and had fast moving lines, the longest we had to wait was like 25 minutes for the avalanche, but it was worth it. The drop slides were really fun to.

Do not be so geedy that you let the park get too full for people to actually enjoy the slides. Also, the two most exciting sliides were not operational. There was a confrontation between some people right by the staff exit/entrance and not one staff member tried to stop them. It almost got physical. Luckily, another patron told the people he called the police.

Very much a big fan of this really fun waterpark. Lots of great options from simple and safe to edgy and fun. There is something targeted for all ages and level of adventure. One of the highlights is their wave pool. Been in plenty of janky wave pools that barely create any undulance at all. RS' wave pool creates genuine waves and genuine fun. I feel you get way more food options than your average waterpark. Normally it's just cheeseburgers and pizza. At RS you'll also find chicken fingers, hot dogs, and tacos. Needless to say, ice cream and Dippin' Dots are served aplenty. The staff deserves a 5-star shout out all on their own. I think we've all experienced at least once before a staff of teens that are disinterested, inattentive, bored, or...teenagery, lol. I noticed every awesome teen at RS was the opposite. They were very talkative, playful, and funny with my kids. I thought about how important this is for kids who might be scared when they reach the summit of a slide and look down with second thoughts. The staff seems like they'd know to handle the situation with warmth and encouragement. My only wish is that RS had more family rides, in other words, more 4+ person raft rides. It was a busy day and we didn't ride everything, so I may have missed it, but it only seemed like there were two. If the park expands/builds more slides, I would hope they're family sized.

Super Fun and well maintained. Great for kids & Adults of all ages. New attractions coming.

I can no longer recommend this business. For the few individuals that made our day here a little bit better I wish the rest of the workers were like you guys. First off. Arrived at 5 pm because online said they were open til 10pm. It was a bummer that when I checked with staff they said they close at 8 and that they were sorry for the website not updating. I didn't see signage that 4 of their main attraction slides were closed down. Second. They do not honor the 8$ off coupon on "already discounted fees" so for a little less than 3 hours it was still 63$ total. Lockers were 12$ for a small. Food was exorbitantly priced. The concession stand workers with the burgers were rude as hell to my wife. When I walked over after we placed the order the first thing the young man said to me was "did you need something?" Very rudely. I said I'm just waiting for my order. I do believe someone else took mine because a manager walked over and picked up that tray and walked away: 10 more minutes went by and so when my wife asked the gentleman about our order they claimed to never recieve it and then he tossed the patty down and said what did you want on it. I said lettuce and tomato then he said we don't have tomato were out. Ok. Since the 4 main slides were closed we decided to go sit down for a drink. 14-16$ per drink so we decided to skip. They don't have enough staff to run their 4 main attraction slides so they open up the least popular ones makes sense. I will not come back. Pizza shack closed 2 hours prior to park closing. Waste of money in my opinion. The only highlight was that my wife enjoyed the slides we went on though they also had the back and forth one in the back of the park closed. They wouldn't let us go on on slide with the tubes we had and the lifeguard made us go back down the steps to get to right colored ones. Even though they are all pretty much the same.

We spent $300 and fought for tube's all day! Buy more tube's for all areas! It's ridiculous, if you do secure a tube, it's practically grabbed from you by others.

It was worth the drive. The best lazy river my family has ever been to. The food was great. The rides were fun. There is something for everyone to enjoy!!

This water park is way over priced for what you get. The food is absolutely horrible and overpriced. Some of the employees aren't very nice either. I get it if it's your summer job and you're tired of being around kids but it's all about the customer experience and I believe all employees should go above and beyond to make sure all guests enjoy their time here. We will not be back to this water park.

This water park is clean, and they have great people working here! I took one star off for the expensive food and lack of shade. I really think more shade and chairs are needed. But we do have a great time coming here, and there is something for all ages. And it feels very safe.

A heartfelt thank you to the amazing lifeguards at Roaring Springs! When our 10-year-old almost fainted from heat exhaustion at the top of a slide, a caring lifeguard quickly attended to her. She seated her by the slide entrance, provided her with water, and offered her a shirt to use as a cold towel. Our daughter was then accompanied to the First Aid office, while another lifeguard was at our cabana to guide me to her. The compassion and generosity of everyone involved was so appreciated, especially going out of their way to make my daughter feel comfortable while she waited for family to get to her. I can't thank you all enough, we'll be back soon to enjoy a full day

Fun water park but the food is awful and overpriced! My son went today and got a burger on a bun and nothing else, no veggies no sauce! Get it together RS or lower your prices.

Gerry was our server and was insanely nice and helpful, she should get a raise 5/5 stars

This was a fun adventure! I am not much for water slides and such entertainment, but I loved the lazy river and wave pool where I spent most of my day body surfing and floating. 'Twas lovely indeed! My siblings enjoyed the slides and other attractions as well! The desserts and such were a little expensive, and normally they don't allow you to bring in your own food or drink except for a water bottle.

Nice atmosphere. Family friendly but there was a bar area, restrooms and food/drink areas placed well. Lockers were convenient. The store was reasonably priced

Warning: This review is for the catered picnic area, not the general park. This is for those corporate event planners out there. I am very lucky to work for a company with locations across the U.S. and we try to take them all out to picnics every year or two. I "have" to go to these events to meet families and live it. Hands down this is now my favorite location of them all. Best park, staff, food, and venue. The park isn't small, but I wandered around beforehand and I would love to go on the rides. Later after they opened, I didn't notice any with crazy long lines or over attendance. The staff were all, universally pleasant, attentive and engaged. This must be a great place to work with solid leadership and management. The food ain't the best you will eat, but it was the best Park food I've had on many park visits for company picnics. Everything was well cooked. Even ribs that were tasty. The burgers and dogs were actually cooked. The baked beans were very flavorful. Not a fan of the cookie I tried, it wasn't I. The same class. All the rest was well above expectations. Best of all - I even saw a Quality Control person testing the temperature of the food on the buffet. I have NEVER seen that kind of care. Finally, I enjoyed the covered picnic area. Plenty of space, great shade and totally convenient for the employees arriving and the logistics to set up.

Employees were awesome the rides were pretty fun and the food was tasty. Had a good time with the fam and enjoyed it a lot, 10/10 would go again.

I have to pay half price of $47.99 +tax to just even chaperone my kids. We've been a season pass holder for last 3 years. This is the last time my kids are ever going to this place. It's sucks it the only water park in the treasure valley. Food is nasty. Mostly greasy stuff handled by teenagers.

This is a magical place for kiddos and a wonderful place for families to have fun. First time we visited was this year for my 7th year old birthday party we hosted with 15 people. So we rented a cabana and did it all in style. I, as a planing birthday parent enjoyed my time immensely. That's a lot. The wristbands included unlimited soft drinks and a meal so everyone was content. We loved it to so much I got us season pass tickets for the family for next year .planing to enjoy hot summers in here with joy. One thing that was not so great... the lazy river floor. It's crazy course and will peel your feet! Especially If you go 7 times in a row like my kids wanted to and walk it instead of floating it as intended, be ready for major bruising and peeling of your soles. My big toe took more than 2 weeks to heal. And I've heard from others the same story as well. So wear tight feeling water shoes (sandales just come off) or float it as intended. They have family restrooms that are CLEAN!! So unusual for water park. Super clean and the best part in this place. Is the super attentive and kind personal. The boy who was attending my little girls tube ride was the nicest, most patient young adult. It was so beautiful to see. Oh, food allergies. They don't like to talk about this openly and ask you to be discrete but if you have food allergy, just bring your own food in a non glass containers and it'll be fine. Mention it at the entrance when they search you. What else can I say? Have fun!!!!

If you have a wristband with money on it be prepared to lose it. Bought a new season pass this year and they refused to transfer the balance from last year to new wristband. Was told they could if I paid an additional $10 for a new wristband that isn't needed. Way over priced! Horrible customer service!

The waterpark is absolutely bigger than any photo can do justice. And its still growing. The new lazy river addition with the wave simulator is completely new but so fun! The slides and the lines were quick, so dont them scare ya off! All the lifeguards and people working seemed to be very attentive and happy! This place is a must if your in the area!! Also bathrooms were extremely clean! Highly recommend, not to mention for any age, im 27 and had a BLAST!

Fun visit today, Thursday between 3-8pm. Lots of people arriving at 3pm for the $16 admission price. Parking lot was full so we used overfill parking in the dirt lot adjacent to the park. Inside, most seats were taken but some available. We got 4 shaded lounge chairs together by the wave pool so we were happy. Rides did not have long lines. It was busy in the park but not so much so that we couldn't ride what we wanted to. The food stands had mellow lines and the food was good. The selection is mostly burgers, chicken, pizza, and fries. Prices are fair for what you get. Five hours there was plenty. In that time frame we got to do everything, relax, and eat.

It has amazing food it has really fun slides I love the remodeling of the kids pool I have season passes they are pretty cheap for a whole season real fun

The kids really enjoy Roaring Springs so do my out of state family members so we plan annual trips. In my opinion it is better to go at the end of May/Beginning of June. The weather is not as hot which as a result means a less bitchy me while dealing with three kids under 10. I also recommend skipping the discount times if you can and going early on one of these days instead. It makes a big difference. We went during the 3-8 1/2 off Thursday and I felt like we missed out on a lot versus going early on a Friday morning when the open. On Thursday they were really busy and we only went on a few rides. Also I've learned quick that the treasure valley is at its hottest around 3-8pm so keep that in mind. They also rush you out so be prepared for that. If you have older kids this time might be better for them. But if you have younger kids I reccommend going at 11 AM, packing your own lunch and you can eat at the tables outside (they'll stamp you) and leave around 6 and you will have gotten your moneys worth.

I thought I would treat my kids to roaring springs. With the discounted program I took advantage of it. Worst mistake of my life. I go on a tube with my daughter. I was told to get on the scale. Talk about public humiliation. I was told I was too fat... I lost it. Went to the office demanded my money back. They gave me a reciept for the refund. Still waiting for it. I was given the company line and the rep had the audacity to reconsider coming back. Save yourself the public embarrassment of being told your fat when you want to go here. Better treatment at Lagoon and lava hot springs

Had a great time with the family. The park is a little over priced, but this is definitely one of the best ways to cool off in the summer.

We went to roaring Springs for my granddaughter's birthday. She just turned 3, we rented a cabana for the day. The staff were phenomenal and very professional. We really enjoyed our day. Thank you very much roaring springs!

Fun park, horrible costumer service. Around 3-ish today on the Viper's Vortex I politely asked the life guard at the bottom if I could take a single riders tube that was next to him, instead of answering my questions he yells "oh my god have you not been listening me for the past 15 minutes what ever just take it", which I have, I just wanted to stick with my party. humiliating me in front of everyone. As the ride is over, I was scared this life guard would find another reason to himiluate me so i rushed to put the tube back and as I was walking off he was SHOUTING about how I make his job so much harder then it needs to be and causing a scene in the line everyone was staring at us. All over a simple question? Their is a difference between bad costumer service then just hiring straight up bullies. Definitely avoided that ride for the rest of the day, probably wont be coming back. Killed my vibe for the rest of the day.

What a great place to take the family! They just redid their kids section 54' and under, they did an excellent job! I'd also like to add that every staff member I encountered or observed was kind and friendly. We spent two days here this past week with our granddaughter who lives out of state and enjoyed every minute. We also purchased food here each visit, corn dogs, curly fries, tater tots, sub sandwiches, and ice cream.

Things are really headed down hill for the springs. Between slide closures, malfunctioning equipment, bathrooms being closed for hours and the wave pool not working its getting a little bit silly.

We were having a really good day, until we had to stand in line for an hour for a drink we wanted and when we got up to the counter to order they told us the ice cream machine was broke. They should have posted this, as that's why we stood in line for so long. Also in the lazy river they do not have enough tubes. We tried to do it twice and neither time could we get a tube. Other then that is was so much fun to have a day out with the family. We feel they post when rides are under maintenance, they should post when they are out of stuff. If we would have know before hand we wouldn't have been so disappointed. We decided to leave after the ice cream issue. Besides be a little tired, we were a little let down. Ps, and to all you patrons who complained about the water dumping on you as you enter a ride, you do realize this is a water park and with that you tend to get wet.

The park is clean and the lifeguards are really nice when I ask dumb questions. The price of food and drinks are expensive, but that's normal for all amusement parks. Most complaints on Yelp is the lack of seating, which is true. To be fair, the people that come early get's the best seats. They are currently going through an expansion, so maybe they'll address the seating issues at that time. This place fills up fast, so pre-buy your tickets and skip the lines. This place is worth visiting, so plan to stop by on your next trip to the Boise area. Highly recommende.

This was a pretty fun water park. Ive been to a lot of water parks, in all different states and this one was pretty average. I wouldn't say it had anything that really makes it stand out from any of the others I've been to, but it was a lot of fun, and it was very hot that day. One thing I did like, was that the wave pool allowed tubes (a lot of them don't) and the waves go for 10 minutes at a time. One thing I didn't like is that the lazy river is too shallow. I scraped my knees up pretty bad. Also the first half of the day there was not anywhere near enough tubes for the amount of people there were in the lazy river. There were so many people waiting for a loose tube to pop up that when it happened people were diving for it, just to have a chance to get it first. The river is shallow, and as an adult you can't really float around it without a tube, so that was kind of disappointing. Other than that is was a good time.

I am from california and this water park just amazed my family and I with what they had to offer especially compared to where we go in our state. First off the food was very economical and unlike california did not empty your pockets for a hamburger or pizza. The food was pretty good as well! Some of the water features were also heated which is nice and the variety of water features was ample for the price we paid to get in. We did have some young children with us so it was especially nice to see they had a really large safe area for non swimmers and plenty of actual slides to go down for the kids to entertain themselves the whole time. I enjoyed the park very much and I would recommend this park... of course as long as the ambient temperature is above 85 degrees but that is true for any water park! Thanks Roaring Springs....

Everyone seemed to be having a great time. Just a heads up for seniors who purchase a "spectator" ticket. You may not find shaded seating. 90% of the seating was reserved with someone's towel. My wife and I ended up sitting on cement blocks around a planter area. We were uncomfortable the whole time.

This was a fun trip to Meridian Idaho! We went to Roaring Springs Waterpark! Lots of fun!! My favorite was the slides; Corkscrew Cavern and cliffhanger were my favorite!! Very scary at first but at the 10th time I got used to it!! Lifeguards were really good at keeping everybody safe social distancing was enforced! ( no masks but what can you say? Your at a water park!) Good place for the whole family!!

I haven't been since I was a kid and was excited to take my children. They had a blast! However I was a bit disappointed at the slides for the littler kiddos. My daughter is in between being to tall for the smaller slides and still young enough to be terrified of the bigger slides. I wish there were an option for the kids who are tall for their age.

It was very fun and the lifeguards are very nice! I would highly suggest going back again when you have some more time or more friends.

LOVED IT. We went here in early June and felt safe, comfortable, and like we were back in the "normal" world. It was hot, the rides were super fun and refreshing, and it was a total blast for my entire family. We rented a cabana, which was very nice to provide a home base for our stuff. There was free ice water, "room service" style food ordering, and shade and comfy seating. This park is awesome and we loved our experience!

Roaring Springs has cones in their parking lot and NO video cameras, so when damage occurred to my car, all they had to say was "it's not our fault someone may have tossed a PLASTIC cone at your car" be careful leaving your vehicle in their parking lot!

This is the first year that we did season passes and we are not disappointed! It is only June 3rd and we have been 5 times and our passes are paid for. The kids who are 12 and 9 would spend 12 hours here if I would let them. We love it here. The cheeseburgers are great. Update July 4th 2018 we still love the Waterpark but we will no longer order food here. The food has gone downhill. I spent almost $200 on food passes and my kids don't even want to use them. My husband and I ordered a 2 pizza slice meal and there must have been a huge bubble in the pizza because there really was not any cheese. The food is not worth the price. Fries always cold. The park would do a lot better with having better food or maybe even 2 surfside grills. I also wish they had more season pass holder perks. Such as putting a bracket on season pass holders and letting them go down slide every other paying customer. It's frustrating when you buy a pass and wait an hour to ride something because it's $15 day to the general public. If they want to keep selling season passes they need more perks.

I have had good experiences with staff and the park itself every time I have gone BUT they really need to have a designated area with SHADE for people with infants, or a rule that you can't lay your towels and sandals on every chair in the shade it is so unfair. 95% of the people don't even use all 5 chairs that they have all of their stuff on, it is so ridiculous to see all of the empty chairs with a piece of clothing or towel that are so called claimed and if you try to move it your going to get bitched out. They need to fix this asap.

The kids were so excited to come. Getting into the park was fine. Once inside we waited in line to get on the slide for a half an hour to find out that they were closing it because not all employees showed up to work. So not many slides were open which caused longer lines on all the slides that were. Paid $190 for our family of five and only could go down 4 slides until we were finally tired of waiting in lines and left. Would not come again.

Fun, family, and friendly! Lots to do for all ages. The food is good and reasonably priced for a theme park. Get there early if you want to claim a lounge chair. Plenty of shade and ice water is free if you bring your own container!

We love this place! Every year when we come to Idaho we stop in for fun. This is such a great place to let the kids burn off energy. The food is expensive but they have a decent selection from which to choose. The kids and my spouse love the slides and for relaxation you can't beat the Endless River and the Wave Pool.

Fun as hell !! But if you're afraid of heights you will not go down the slides, wave pool was fun as hell but very crowded, lost how many feels i copped !! Just kidding, but seriously very crowded, expensive, food ,lockers $12.00 for a large locker, splash shop everything expensive,$32.80 for my family of three to eat 2 double cheeseburgers 2 fries ,2 cokes. Lazy river very crowded, tubes in splash pool and lazy river are a finder keeper type set up , if you see one floating around you grab it if you want one same thing in the splash pool. Best to get your tickets online otherwise your going to wait in line to get tickets, long line for that , online you go straight to the security gate scan your online tickets from the email you receive that sends a link to your digital online tickets, they check your bag for outside food and drink but bottled water is ok to bring in. Hard to find a place to sit out of the sun again finder keepers for tables to sit definitely recommend getting a cabana cost a bit more but worth it! Free lockers and a server that brings food to you, no waiting in long lines for food, and a place to sit private and yours.

Had such a fun time with the family! We have season passes and are never disappointed with the staff or experience. I encourage all to come!
