Coconut Cove Waterpark & Recreation Center

It doesn’t deserve not even one single star … Horrific place. Do not spend your precious money in this filthy place ! You pay to go in the park and can’t use the big pool because they’re giving privet classes. My daughter couldn’t wear her mask. The place is always, I mean ALWAYS fool. Over 15 camps (over 400 people only on those camps). You wait in line forever ! If it rains hard, you don’t have a place to protect yourself from lightning strike. Horrible simply horrible !

I came here with my wife and 3 kids yesterday. My kids (age 6, 6, and 4) loved it. It’s a perfect water park for their age group.
Pros: Lots to do for kids, including two big waterslides, a kids area, lazy river. There are lifeguards everywhere and they are very attentive. The park is a good size but not so big that you can’t keep an eye on your kids. It’s also cheap to enter, only around $ 11 for adults and $ 9 or so for kids.
Cons: Food there is atrocious. Very cheap ingredients, yet it was $ 15 for a pizza. Fries were cold. And you can’t bring outside food in.

Don’t go after 3pm. Seriously I don’t know where half of these people are coming from but but don’t feel like I’m in Boca. It is actually fun but eat before and pack snacks food is nasty. Like the movie theatre hotdogs in that conveyer toaster nasty.

The please is an awesome place to come and spend some family time, my son loved the water slides and if you come early literally by the time they open which is 11 am you don’t have to do lines at all!
The splash pool is really cool too for the little ones too, with smaller slides and a bunch of different splashy areas.
They sell food there, basic snacks and surprise my inexpensive considering is an attraction park.
I have to say unfortunately and that’s why my 4 stars that around 2 the vibe of the park changed, it becomes a little bit of a zoo if you know what I mean with entitled people, rude and feels a little unsafe as far as living your purses alone, not racist is just what it is!
My son loved it he came back tired and happy as a clam and can’t wait to come back!

If you’re expecting a place similar to the old Six Flags Atlantis (anyone who was born in SoFla in the 80s will remember that amazing place) or the Rapids, you’re going to be disappointed. There aren’t varied jumbo slides, wave pools, or numerous obstacle courses. Coconut Cove is geared toward children, and young children at that. Even older elementary school aged kids would probably be bored with Coconut Cove after maybe 30 minutes. Toddlers and young kids, however, will love it. The water playground and the lazy river are not so large that they’re intimidating for younger kids. The two slides are perfect for the younger elementary aged kids, and it’s something fun for the parents too! All kids under 3 or 4 — can’t remember the exact age — must wear a swim diaper (which the park provides) regardless if they’re potty trained. It’s a nice rule because you don’t need to worry about floating down the lazy river alongside a turd.
Get there early. We left around lunch time and the park was packed with a long line at the gate.

I visited this facility the other day as a counselor with a summer camp. The kids (ages 8) absolutely loved it. They spent most of their time on the two water slides and on the lily pad game. For kids, I love that the lap pool is only four feet deep. As an adult, I would go elsewhere for entertainment and exercise. The facility is pretty dirty. the restrooms were disgusting, the staircase in the middle of the park smelled disgusting, and there is an abundance of horseflies in the area. One of our kids got bit by one :(There is an abundance of lifeguards but they spend their time talking to each other more than watching the kids. While walking past some lifeguards who were sitting on the staircase, I heard the inappropriate conversation they were having. With so many kids around, the guards should filter what they say in the open.

My son absolutely loved it here. Awesome wading pool and splash park area and slides for kids of all ages, clean, professional staff. They even gave us a swim diaper included in admission!

This is a great place to come for kids and families. It’s affordable and if you live in the area really convenient. It’s part of a fairly new park development which also has a dog run (Canine Cove), golf course, playground and other attractions. They aren’t open very late (currently till 5pm) and weekdays it’s full of camps which cause crowding during the week. I would recommend that you come early for two reasons: 1) so you can avoid the crowds of camps for part of the time as lines will get long (good luck getting a tube for the lazy river once the camps are in full swing — I deducted a star for that and 2) summer weather in So FL usually means rain in the afternoon.
They do sell food (hot dogs, nachos, beverages, fries stuff like that) which is reasonably priced considering you can’t bring food or drink in. A lot of people sneak stuff in to eat and drink I noticed and you can always leave a cooler in your car and just go to the parking lot if you want. It isn’t so huge that this is a real problem to do if you want to save some cash.
Overall it’s a fun way to spend a few hours early in the day. Plenty of staff/​life guards. I didn’t use the restrooms so I can’t comment on that. Keep your eyes on your kids since it does get crowded and the entrance can get overwhelmed with people/​camps coming in and out. I’m told alot of them leave about 3pm but be warned that that can be time for inclement weather in the summer so I’d suggest coming when they open.

Forget the negative reviews. Took my grandchildren ages 1 year thru 9 years. It was WONDERFUL. The 9 year old mothered the 5 year old but also loved it.
This place is great for toddlers. The lazy river was fantastic. We all loved that including grandma and grandpa. The facility is very clean and safe. Lifeguards are everywhere. It is impossible to drown in the lazy river. The water is knee deep goodness sake. The admission prices are very reasonable. About $ 11 for an adult and less for children. Just be warned however that the place is loaded with camps during the week in the summer but the lines were never super long. I really cannot comment on the food as we did not buy any but it looked liked typical fast food stuff. Parking is plentiful and free. The large toddler pool will keep them occupied all day. No steps. You just walk right in. Go and enjoy. You won’t be sorry.

Dirty, small pool and the people were shady … A man almost drowned right next to me in the lazy river… He was feet up after his tube flipped over and he obviously couldn’t swim… Three lifeguards not even 20 feet away DID NOT NOTICE because they were too busy chit chatting … This place is dangerous … Do not go if your child cannot swim … They could die

Filthiest bathrooms I have ever seen in my life! Seating area in the back by the ropes course smelled strongly of urine. Go early, right when they open. It got packed as the day went on. The kids had a blast! Plenty of lifeguards who were very heads up. We did not pack snacks, and although they sell food, the rule about bringing food was not clear. Next time we will definitely bring some snacks along with our water.

This place is totally AWESOME for toddlers! Maybe it’s because it just opened for the year last week, but it was much cleaner than we expected and our kids had the time of their lives. My 4-​year old LOVED the slide and it was just perfect for his age, and the playground built in water was really great because even the twins (age 2) can walk around without getting hurt. There were plenty of staff to oversee everything so it was very safe and overall a great experience for our children.
I would recommend bringing snacks. It was really, really affordably priced to get in which was a nice surprise, but they do get you on the food. If you wanted to grill out they do have BBQ pits in the park just outside the area. Our kids had so much fun on the lazy river and everything was really fun. We couldn’t have asked for a better day.
This park is well worth the low $ to get in and will make your kids really happy and best of all… wear them out for a good night’s sleep.

I don’t think it’s as bad as Vivian D said, although I didn’t have the food. I thought it was a fun place that we spent 4 hours at today. Tons of kids due to the camps but in fairness there was a sign on the window where we paid that let us know this. so we had the option to bail out if we wanted to. Honestly it wasn’t that bad. We had a ton of fun on the lazy river, the ‘red’ and ‘blue’ water slides, and even the little kids area. Just a nice day. I do wish the pool floor was a little cleaner. Lots of dirt on the floor. We’ll be back.

Yuck! Very dirty eating area, nasty food and even found a hair in my slice of pizza.
Not a great crowd either. I felt uneasy leaving my bag unattended.
