DropZone Waterpark

I had so much fun with my family last summer! The food was amazing and the water rides were really fun. I would definitely recommend renting a cabana. So worth it!

Love this place! It’s clean and new. Lots of fun stuff for kiddies and adults.

Very clean and nicely kept small water park. Our kids had a great time and we enjoyed the relaxing afternoon. They have plenty of life guards and staff which my sister and I really appreciated. The facilities are kept in pristine condition. There are life vests and plenty of inner tubes for the lazy river. Lots of seating and shade.

This place was great. Took the 40 minute drive and it was worth it. There’s a small water park like this next to my home but it’s dirty so I decided to try this place out. The Drop Zone was clean and superbly staffed. I rented a cabana and it was so worth it. Even if you don’t rent a cabana there’s a lot of lounge chairs and umbrellas all over the park. There are 3 major slides, a lazy river, kids zone with 2 mini slides, smaller pool and Olympic size pool with low and high diving board. You must take a swim test to in the deep end, adults and kids alike. The food was very tasty and they had healthier options as well as burgers and fries. In summation:
1. Super Clean
2. A lot of lifeguards on staff
3. Good food
4. Short lines
5. Great cabana service
6. Reasonably priced ($ 18 adults $ 14 kids $ 55 cabana)
We will be back for sure.

Be sure to check the online calendar before buying tickets since the hours aren’t consistent. My mistake as I assumed they would be open at noon after buying full price tickets online. Found out when I arrived that tickets were ½ off because they were only open between 2:30 and 6:30p that day. They did refund my full price tickets I bought online and charged me the discounted price instead.
The park’s size is modest and it felt like a good deal at the $ 9 discount, but I think the regular $ 18 would have been overpriced for even a full day. The lines weren’t too long for any of the 3 slides. They have a lap pool that’s reserved for lessons at certain times. I didn’t see any signs saying as such, but the employee acted like it was common knowledge when she politely asked me to get out.

My review is on Summer Camp they offered for one week. My children loved it and couldn’t say anything bad about camp. They love Mister Manny who was the main guy in camp. Every morning he greeted us with a wonderful good morning and was welcoming to the kids. They enjoyed all the activities they did. They did have a lot of lifeguards which eased my mind as a parent. They even provide sunscreen in the front of park in case you forgot. Overall I give 5 STARS place was clean and I seen workers cleaning the park every morning. The employees at camp were sweet and helpful. I don’t think they were experienced with kids and were just employees at Drop Zone. I would like to see employees next year who actually have a background with campers and children. Not just overall employees of the park. I believe Mister Manny does or he’s just really great with kids.

This was our 2^nd visit, even after leaving a bitter taste in our mouths last year when they sold us season passes a 3 weeks before the season was over and did not tell us. Unfortunately, we use that pass once and were unable to get a refund.
This past week we went again, it was a horrible visit! We brought our own lunch due to the long food line, yes line, only 1 out of 4 windows are open. When we reentered the area, the kid area was closed. Our kids had to wait 20 mins to go back in. During the waiting period we went to the lazy river where we weren’t allowed to put our kids together with us on a tube. Not children friendly… tubes are way too big for our small children (4 year old). Their lifeguards got after us for having 2 of the little kids together on a tube but did not say anything to thw unattended teenagers playing rough in the lazy river hitting my child. After being irriated by this nonsense we went back to the kid area, my husband and I were hugging and he kissed me, a bit later a lifeguard comes up and tells us we are getting complaints of you 2 showing too much public affection.
Horrible visit, not children friendly and attractions are closed down too often throughout the visit. I would rather drive to Soak city and pay a bit extra then recommend this place or go back. Don’t waste your money on this place.

The park is very clean, including the bathrooms and showers. Not as many rides or as big as other water parks like Raging Waters or Aquatica, but the less expensive tickets reflect that fact. It has plenty of umbrellas to provide shade. It’s a wonderful place for tweens and younger, not too exciting if your kids like big exciting rides. It’s more of a relaxed atmosphere, with plenty for the kids to do on their own if you are confident in their swimming skills (not the small children, of course). Lots of lifeguards and complimentary life vests to use in the park. The website is very informative. Definitely recommend for young families. Parking is free. Just wish the park opened at 10:00 am.

I am very happy that we now have a water park in Perris. It is not very big but big enought to cool off and have some family time. They have a lazy river, 3 slides, a kids section and a pool. We got the season pass and enjoy been there every time. They have many lifeguards at every station keeping an eye and making sure everyone is safe.

We came to Drop Zone as a group of 32. Regina helped us with our group planning/​reservation details. She was an absolute joy to work with. We were so well taken care of. We had our own private area with 3 cabanas, tables, chairs, and lunch brought out to us!!! We have planned/​chaperoned many group outings, they can go wrong in in so many ways. Regina and the rest of the staff made our entire experience amazing! Our group had so much fun. If you are looking for a good group trip definitely choose Drop Zone!

We went on a Monday and had a great time. We had 2 cabana reserved and our service was great with Sarah. The guaranteed shade and chairs with a cabana is worth the price. Also having a wonderful serve like Sarah to help with getting our food is great. All of us had a great time. We had a age range of infants to adults. There was something for everyone to do. The park was not crowded so we really did not have to wait in any lines with the exception of the Flow rider. Though there was a line for the flow rider it was not to long. It is great that military and 3 family members can get in free once a year. Costco also has a great deal on tickets. Overall we had the best day. Recommend get a cabana.
The reason for only four stars is that the park hours were 11 – 6 this day but all the attractions closed at 5:45. We felt the splash play area and the pools could have remained open until 6.

My kids had a blast. We came here for my middle daughters birthday and were glad we were going to be able to take advantage of military discount for myself and husband, but… We were pleasantly surprised that once a season (your first visit) active duty gets on free with up to 3 guests! Score! So now we can take kiddos to dinner with the $ we had budgeted to get into park.
Park was very clean, staff was super friendly. Only reason not 5 stars is it’s pretty small. For the price you would pay normally for a one day admittance it’s kinda privy considering how shall it is, but if you’re local and buy a season pass it’d be well worth it.

This was our second visit to this park. The facilities are great. The lifeguards are well trained and friendly. I would have given four stars except I waited 40 mins in a disorganized mess of lines for lunch today. 40 mins before I had food in my hands. It wasn’t that the lines were long, it was the process. One line to buy food, one line to pickup food that isn’t even ready yet. I wouldn’t wait that long in a fine dining establishment, none the less, chicken strips and sandwiches. Clearly the kids running the place have no food service experience and a manager was no where to be found. I tried to find someone to talk to about our experience but couldn’t find someone over the age of 17. If they want to be considered a summer hangout, they HAVE to increase their food service quality and experience.

I am so happy we finally have a fun cool place to take our kids. This is the second year it’s been open so it’s still in great condition. The life guards are attentive and there are plenty of them. Best times to visit are in the am when they first open, or in the afternoon, after 2. Hours are 11 – 6. No outside food or drinks allowed. You can bring refillable water bottles & get free ice water or purchase the cup for $ 9 & get free refills that day & $ 1 refills after that. Meals are burgers, hot dogs, pizza, chicken tenders, Caesar salad. Food prices are about $ 7 pp. They have a family four pack for $ 28 with fries & drinks. Or you could pack a picnic & eat outside. (Tip: There’s a great taco place around the corner on Hwy 74 at the California ranch market, tacos made with home-​made tortillas! Yum!) Re-​entry with wristband is permitted. Attractions are the lazy river, three slides, a kids water playground, kiddy pool & Olympic pool. Cabana rentals are $ 60. Sunscreen & flip flops are a must! In my opinion, they could use more umbrellas & garbage containers. Although this year the staff has done a better job this year of picking up trash left behind by people that have no manners.

Went this past Sunday with my family
I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect, I guess I was expecting run down and over crowded with nothing to do
It was pretty crowded but I still overall had a great experience
There’s a lot of life guards which is nice because there’s so many little ones running around
There’s a lazy river where I liked to spend most of my time
Around 4ish everyone started to get hungry
, so we walked to the snack bar/​grill area they had and ordered a family pack which is 4 burgers, nachos and tenders, you order food and then go to this grill to get your burger patty
the guy there was really helpful ! He was kinda husky built and had glasses and dark hair but didn’t have a name tag but he was really sweet and helpful
It’s overall just a nice little spot to bring the family and cool down during this hot season

Fun place to be with the family. You can do as much or as little as you want. Seriously way cheaper than raging waters. You’re young ones will have as much Fun.
Food is not great like expected. I don’t think I know of a theme park that has great food.

I have nothing negative to say about this place. The bad reviewers have very specific «problems» that if you think about for any amount of time, have to do with safety. I appreciate every rule and glitch they bashed. Sure it sucks for them in the moment, but in the grand scheme of things it all has a purpose. (BTW the forced potty break is an AMAZING rule– IMO it should be more than just once a day! Legoland’s water park has it every 2 hours I think) With that being said:
It is in Perris. About an hour 15 mins north of my home in San Diego, and totally worth the drive. It’s a municipal water park which means not for profit. Which means prices are not outrageous. It is set on a huge piece of land so it’s not super crowded feeling, and we didn’t have to wait to ride the slides for more than 5 mins anytime Sunday.
Admission is $ 18. Season pass was i think 50 something-​Anyway a good deal. I may well do a season pass next year.
Food is even reasonable. you can get a freshly BBQ’d cheese burger, fries, AND soda for $ 6.95! (It’s not gourmet. Its home style and delicious!)
Refills are free on the day of purchase if you buy a souvenir cup. Other than the drive/​gas it’s a cheaper day than the movies and much funner! Highly recommend

I’ve been here three other times besides the grand opening when I got in for free and there’s still some glitches that need to be worked out.
I’m not sure why they call it the Menifee waterpark when it’s in Perris, the GHETTO part of Inland Empire. If you drive around Perris, you’ll learn that there’s not much else to do around here and so it makes this park very busy, especially during summer vacations.
I came here for the floaty day and another time to experience the park fully without the free pass and it was still packed. It starts to empty out around 4pm but then again the park closes at 6pm.
The park is small for what it charges, but I don’t mind paying the $ 18 per person for the four of us, it wasn’t much. Also, the membership for this park isn’t too bad either if you live in the area. But I do still think that for a park with not much options for the adults, they should charge the adults less.
I think this park needs to expand with more than three water slides for the bigger age groups, but for young kids, I find that there’s ample of options for them. In fact, I really like that there’s life jackets for the little ones.
The map on the iphone maps will take you to the wrong location so if you need directions to get here, make sure you use mapquest or google maps instead.

I give five stars based on my girls’ enjoyment. Sure it is not huge like Raging Waters or unique like LEGOLAND’s Water Park, but it is only $ 18 per person above the height of 42″. We went on Sunday, Memorial Day weekend. It was free the day before and I heard packed. Sunday was reasonably crowded, but not bad. As mentioned in other reviews: no outside food or drink allowed, but not strictly enforced. I wish I had «smuggled» my water and M&M’s, but they gave free ice water inside and had good food, so I was not heartbroken.
We spent the whole day having fun. The food is amusement park priced (hotdog combo seemed to be the best value also adding chicken to the salad for $ 1 seemed to be a cheap addition). The food service is slow (they seem to still be figuring out a rhythm and it is hard to find honest money handlers). Burgers and dogs are flame-​broiled on an outside grill and taste good. Girls loved the accordion fries.
My girls are aged 7 & 12. The younger one did not want to go on the three large slides. The older, only a couple times. The lines were not bad. Lazy river had plenty of tubes when we were there. Lockers are only a quarter (25 cents) very cheap for security. Showers were with hot water. Very nice at the end of the day. My girls favored the lazy river, hot toddler pool, and playground pool.
Bring lots of sunscreen. Enjoy!

I was prepared to rate this park as three stars, that is until I spotted the surf «flow rider». I’m not aware of too many water parks that have one of these, so that was pretty cool.
The park is equipped with only about three water slides, so there is constantly a line. There is a very underwhelming lazy river, which is extremely under equipped with tubes. Seemed like only every tenth person in the river had a tube. And it didn’t have any waterfalls of any sort, so hopefully they fix that.
In the center of the park was a large play area for the little ones, so that’s where we spent most of our time.
We had a great time. Food was surprisingly decent. Service was friendly. I may consider getting the summer pass since this is so close to my home.
