Mountain Creek's Waterpark awaits, with over 2 dozen unique rides, slides and pools set in the mountains of Vernon, New Jersey, just 47 miles from NY City. Experience the thrills of 1,600 feet of pure whitewater adrenaline on the infamous Colorado River Ride, the largest water ride in the region. Leap from the Canyon Cliff into endless blue water, or rocket down Thunder Run or The Gualey, the most supercharged whitewater tube rides you've seen! Drop 40 feet on our Vertigo and Vortex tube speed coasters...in the dark! Plummet 99 feet in just seconds on the H2Oh-No! speed slide. Swing into action on the Tarzan Swings, or race through the dark and shoot out 10 feet above the water on the daring Cannonball. High Anxiety begins with a 5 story drop before accelerating riders into the immense funnel that propels you to panic-inducing heights and a momentary Zero-G experience. It's the shore without the jelly fish! The Hightide Wavepool is one of the largest pools of it's kind, sculpting over 450,000 gallons of water into perfect sets of waves every 10 minutes! Kids World offers more than enough fun to keep the kids happy all summer long. Have a blast in The Spraygrounds, relax in the Lost Island River, zoom down The Hook, or play on our multilevel interactive water play fort, complete with water slides, spray cannons, water hoses, and a 'fishy' shower! « less

They are totally focused on profit and not customer enjoyment. You need to rent a locker for towels, sun lotion, etc. We prefer to picnic and did not like that we had to buy lunch. Also with 4 small children you need to carry snacks and water - but these were confiscated at the gate when our personal items were... More

In theory an awesome water park. My husband dislocated his shoulder on one of the tube slides. No one helped him or called for medical assistance. He had to "put it back" himself while the life gaurds watched. Beware!

I drove two hour to attend for the twilight tickets. Worst $80 spent. Myself, my fiance, and my younger brother went. The lines were so long that we were only able to get on like 5-6 rides. Waste of time and money. I'll just stick with camelbeach, in the Poconos.

Great for a day in the country with just adults or take the little ones for an exciting day in the country. Everybody will sleep real good after the water rides all day.

Nice place to visit, most of the rides are for younger children( 14 and under). lines wasnt to bad. Have lockers and restrooms. Food was a descent price. Good for younger kids because the rides are not too scary.

I reviewed Mountain Creek Water Park from the 2011 season and gave it 2 stars and titled my review "Buyer Beware". That review received 14 helpful votes so I thought it would be appropriate to update my review based on visits in 2012. I did not plan to visit this park in 2012 based on past experiences from recent years.... More

We took our six-year-old a nine-year-old boys to this water park. We were concerned that they would not be a lot of activities for them. Whereas much of the park is meant for older children, there was plenty for us to do and the kids really had a great time. We all enjoyed it very much. I do recommend it.
