Raging waters is a great place to take the kids on a hot day. It can get very crowded, so I recommend going early in the day. We had my daughter's birthday party there and it was the easiest birthday party ever!

3 Stars: average water park (by Samantha T.)

Samantha T. — Tue, 10 Oct 2006 17:18:00 GMT

its not very big but its still fun. i go there every summer and have a great time, although the lines are long and most of the rides you have to go on with two people so make sure when you go to bring an even amount of people or one of the people you bring is screwed.

4 Stars: Highlite of the Summer (by Jocelyn C.)

Jocelyn C. — Thu, 05 Oct 2006 18:30:00 GMT

The weather is usually beautiful, the wave pools are always fun to splash around in, and it has the highest water slide I have EVER seen!! The food is typical of theme parks-- expensive and not that great. There's a nice grass area by the Lazy River for tanning, and even floating on the Lazy River can give you quite a nice burn. It's fantastically fun, but bring suncreen for your own safety!

PROS: lots of variety in water attractions, very clean park
CONS: Wave pool is always really crowded, tubes are almost impossible to find! $$

5 Stars: great park (by GARY L.)

GARY L. — Tue, 03 Oct 2006 13:34:00 GMT

Lots and lots of fun for families and friends. We come here alot during the summer to cool off from the blazing sun. there is an area where you can have a family picnic and after you and your family can walk to the water slides area. The picnic area is first come first serve and there is an entrance fee for the water park .. WORTH THE MONEY

5 Stars: A whole lot of fun (by tami d.)

Raging Waters is a great place to soak up the sun and have a blast on all of their water rides. Water rides geared for people of all ages and full of thrills.
Restrooms are frequently checked and cleaned.

5 Stars: Really Really Wet! (by Rebecca H.)

Rebecca H. — Sun, 01 Oct 2006 22:07:00 GMT

When the weather isn't as nice in the Bay area, you can always go down to Santa Clara to get a sunny day and a tan at Raging Waters. This is a great place for families because they have something for everyone.

PROS: Great weather during the summer.
CONS: Food there is terrible.

4 Stars: Alot of Fun (by Ciara-Jayne H.)

Ciara-Jayne H. — Fri, 29 Sep 2006 06:47:00 GMT

Awesome water park. Clean park. Slides are thrilling. Nice area to sit and relax in front of wave pool and childrens area. You must go early if you want chairs and a shady spot to sit at because they go very fast. Food is very expensive.

4 Stars: Raging Waters (by Manuel B.)

Manuel B. — Thu, 28 Sep 2006 23:46:00 GMT

Fun slides nice weather...Plenty of life guards to keep the family safe. No matter what age you are if you want ot get wet, this is the place to go in the South Bay.

4 Stars: Great for Older Kids (by Barbara B.)

Barbara B. — Thu, 28 Sep 2006 23:00:00 GMT

This is a wonderful place to take older, water safe kids. You really need to be with them with the little ones and be able to let the olders ones go off in pairs because it is so hard to keep track if you have more then a couple kids. The lines can be long at times, but worth the wait.

5 Stars: Better than I thought (by Debbie T.)

Debbie T. — Tue, 25 Jul 2006 17:24:00 GMT

We had a great time. Ok a little expensive to get in with a family of 5, but wow they had it all. We have a 4 year old girl and two boys who are 6 and 8 and they all had a blast.

Season pass time I guess.

5 Stars: Great Water Slides! (by Jenni E.)

Jenni E. — Mon, 17 Jul 2006 14:22:00 GMT

Raging Waters is huge! All of the slides are great and many are so tall it's scary! We always have a great time here. It's good for all ages because there are thrilling slides for the big kids/adults as well as calmer slides or the river for litte kids. The only thing I don't like here is that I worry about leaving my stuff out when we all go on the slides at the same time. Also, it's not cheap but if you go all day it's worth it.

PROS: Great Slides
CONS:

3 Stars: Good summer place (by Andrea G.)

Andrea G. — Sat, 08 Jul 2006 16:15:00 GMT

Raging Waters is a fun place to take the kids after they get tired of going to the pool every day. It isn't the number one safest place in town, but there are a lot of security guards around. The food is pretty gross, but we manage.

4 Stars: Greaty birthday party solution (by Diane D.)

Diane D. — Fri, 12 May 2006 20:41:00 GMT

Not only do the kids love it, it's a great birthday party solution for the supervising adults. For a very attractive price you receive admission, lunch and a shaded area for the lunch gathering. The kids are well looked after by staff...depending on their age, you can enjoy a book in the shade!

4 Stars: Wet and wild (by Belle G.)

Belle G. — Thu, 11 May 2006 15:37:00 GMT

The kids love this place in the summertime. You can drop them off and have them spend the day here lounging around and having a great time in the water. I am not sure as an adult I enjoy it as much as they do, but now that they are older it is OK to leave them there as a group or just spend part of my time with them.

5 Stars: Fun theme park (by KUANGCHUNG L.)

KUANGCHUNG L. — Fri, 07 Oct 2005 23:13:00 GMT

This is definitely one of the best theme park in the bay area. I went here every summer and really enjoy it. The rides are really awesome. Very fun and exciting. Though it is small but still has a lot of things to play. Their food is expensive and taste bad. Maybe I'll try to bring my own fod next time. The ticket price is reasonable. I will highly recommend this place.

3 Stars: Water Slides (by Ariel W.)

Ariel W. — Sun, 07 Aug 2005 17:37:00 GMT

Although Raging Waters provides instant coolness on a hot summer day, they don't have much to offer. They don't have many attractions and most of the time it is too crowded and staying in line is a hassle. They plus side is that their tickets are cheap and you can have a nice fun in the sun day with your friends and family for a low low price.

4 Stars: Raging Water Fun! (by tamara w.)

tamara w. — Tue, 02 Aug 2005 17:06:00 GMT

This place is COOL! (no pun intended). I am a huge Raging Waters junkie, especially a fan of the serpentine slides that they have in the middle of the park. 1 person rides and double up with a friend rides, this place has it all. Check out their amazing wave machine too.

Plenty of places to lay out and chill in the sun, and a great snack bar and gift shop too. Best water park in San Jose! :)

3 Stars: It's ok! (by G. R.)

G. R. — Sat, 30 Jul 2005 10:32:00 GMT

Raging Waters is an ok place to cool off in the summer. You have to be picky about the timing. It can be very crowded at times. But, the kids don't seem to mind the crowds. They have fun anyway. Food can be pricey. A good place to bring the kids to do something different once in a while.

4 Stars: Great Day with the kids (by Debbie M.)

Debbie M. — Thu, 28 Jul 2005 12:31:00 GMT

I love to go to Raging Waters with my kids even now that they are older. Rides for all ages. Very clean and the staff is very helpful. Food is pretty good just a little expensive.

3 Stars: raging waters (by Vivian L.)

Vivian L. — Wed, 27 Jul 2005 14:30:00 GMT

I rated Raging Waters as satisfactory because this place is most of the time crowded, so when you get inline for a cool ride, it usually takes around an hour and a half. This is very aggitating especially in the heat. In Raging Waters, you have to carry all your stuff with you or just leave it in the lockers or it will get lost(from experience). The food is overly expensive as in any amusement park. Would recommend bringing your own food, and going on a weekday.

4 Stars: fun in the summer (by Starry P.)

Starry P. — Sun, 17 Jul 2005 13:05:00 GMT

reasonable season pass prices, and if you have one you might actually go a lot. Has something for everyone and some thrilling slides. However lines can be frustrating sometimes. When you go in the water you can pay to leave your stuff in a locker, however you can only open it once. Most people leave their stuff (non valuables like shoes and towels) on the lawn chairs, i've never experienced theft from those. You have to pay for parking.

2 Stars: The bad outweighs the good (by Randy N.)

Randy N. — Sat, 18 Jun 2005 21:26:00 GMT

Raging Waters is a water park with tons of slides and other attractions. The Wave Pool for example though is kind of gross. I mean, there are so many greasy, disgusting people there swimming in the pool with you. Also, there really is no room to put your stuff in the park other than the grass--and I have had some of my stuff stolen before when I left it there. Furthermore, the food they sell at Raging Waters is sort of disgusting.

4 Stars: I had a good time (by Lindsey R.)

Lindsey R. — Wed, 08 Jun 2005 14:23:00 GMT

I like the place because it was not too big, but yet not too small. I went with my boyfriend and he and I had an exciting time together and we able to have innocent fun. I love the rides and just sitting around enjoying the enviroment

4 Stars: great rides. (by Mitch M.)

Mitch M. — Sun, 01 May 2005 14:15:00 GMT

water rides here are great. very fun and thrilling. not recommended to go when it's extremely windy because it will get cold. a lot of rides, but not as much as waterworld.

3 Stars: horrible (by Hong T.)

Hong T. — Sat, 30 Apr 2005 01:00:00 GMT

the conditions of the place was horrible. i did not like it one bit because the rides looked unstable. plus, it was in a newspaper that some kids have died here.

5 Stars: Raging Waters is Great (by Jay D.)

Jay D. — Sat, 23 Apr 2005 19:58:00 GMT

Raging Waters is awesome, it's so much better than that other amusement park in the Bay Area. The waves are great and the rides are awesome, it's a sure way to have fun.

It is the best waterpark that I have been to, even though the park is quite small. It's also to just go in the summer and chill on the grass.

Highly recommended.

4 Stars: very fun (by Lac L.)

Lac L. — Sat, 23 Apr 2005 14:35:00 GMT

raging waters is the best waterpark that i have been to. i've compared it to great america's boomerang bay, manteca waterslides and waterworld and this truly is the funnest. this place is quite small, but it does well and has a lot of rides and things to enjoy.
