2 kids and 2 parents = $36.00  
 
$10 per kid (10 and under) and $8 per adult from 11 a.m. - 8 p.m. is a $36.00 day for a couple of kids and 2 adults not able to going on bouncy stuff (OK by me!)  
 
Wondering if some may not be able to afford the cost.  
 
Having said this, the one week advance fair price was $45.00 Pay-One-Price per child, but there are many exciting rides and an atmosphere that was the fair. Different in many ways.  
 
What do others think?  
 
I really like the thought of this waterpark and looking like amazing slides, I know it might be a draw, given that the City does not open Spray Parks until July.-August. Please re-visit this City of Brandon!  
 
Kudo's to the people running the park. I do hope it is a successful run. It is an investment and someone trying to bring something new to Brandon.  
 
Could a person make an entire day of this with a day out for kids? Is there maybe some food trucks there?

Very reasonable rates. It looks amazing from the road: we can’t wait to check it out!

I think $36 is very affordable for a full day of fun for a family of 4.

Where did you get the prices from? Just wondering what the age/weight restrictions are. You mentioned the price for 10 and under but what about a 12 year old, can they go?

It’s $10 for kids aged 10 and under, $12 for age 11-18 and $15 for adults. Age 2 and under pay no admission. If attending as a chaperone without amenities (but with use of beach area), $8.  
 
I posted a little more in the preamble to the gallery at:

To give an idea what goes into putting this kind of thing on, one of the big slides is on the manufacturer’s website for just under $28,000 USD. They’re bringing a lot of value in setting the place up!

Those are awesome prices.... can hardly go to a movie for that. I’m excited that there’s something new in Brandon to do this summer.

Maybe some people won't be able to afford it, its not a mandatory event. It is a very reasonable price considering a day pass at the YMCA is $17.00 +for an adult. This looks like a whole lot more fun for cheaper. The cost of these inflatables is huge so the fact the price is so low surprised me. Can't wait to take the kiddos down there. Kodus to the owners for bringing some summer fun into the city this year.

Is there any age ir height Requirements?? I know the one in Dosa will be 6 years of age and certain height  
is this the same?

Had a chance to try a few of the slides with water on...  
 
Purple monster is f-a-s-t!  
 
Dropkick not quite as quick but the jump is fun and I gather some folks were jumping off the start to get more speed  
 
Surprise for me was Twisted Magma, wouldn’t be surprised if when you come around the curve it was even faster than Purple Monster  
 
Storage Lockers and change rooms have been added since the preview pics I took yesterday  
 
There’s no age or size requirement on the park as a whole since there are quite a few slides of different sizes. The pic I posted of the rules at the top of big Dropkick says that the weight of anyone going down that particular slide should be 70-300 pounds but there’s enough of a range of slides and all-ages were going down most of them. I’ll pass along anything else I learn but we went with the approach of parent trying first and making judgement call from there as far as what’s best!

Hey... just wondering about how they are treating the water? Is it grassy/muddy? I’m picturing my slip n’slide in my backyard.... gets gross with just a couple kids.

Re the water, I noticed them spraying the slides with a hose pretty regularly. I just asked about cleaning and am told that the water flow is constantly refreshing and changing. Every night they also have a chemical thats non-corrosive that they'll spray down the slides with every night to clean.  
 
Unrelated note, first time down the Dropkick is equal parts glee and whatever this is :

Does anyone know if there anything suitable there for a 15 month old that isn’t quite walking?

Great looking couple of days weather wise for this sort of thing after a real mixed bag over the last week or two.  
 
Re a young kiddo, if you get a chance to check out the gallery in the buzz post they have one bouncy for real young kids. You should at your disgression be able to take them down some of the slides that are designed for smaller kids and parents but I don’t imagine the bigger ones would be a fit as they’re quite fast!  
Either way, at that young of an age if the parent pays a kid 2 and under gets in free.

It was great! Very reasonable prices, went with my 4 and 7 year old, my 4 year old was a little intimidated initially but after starting on one of the smaller slides, she was hooked! She was able to use all slides but one. Definitely recommend paying the extra $2 each for the “dry park”. My kids actually spent more time in that area. The staff were all really nice and helpful with the kids. We will go back! Thank you for bringing this to Brandon!!!
