 | Wild time at Wild Rivers |
I was outfitted for the wild, zebra and all, as we hit Wild Rivers—my son’s family birthday pick. Now I’m not really the scream-your-head-off, rider Mom-type. Sure I was as a kid, but that usually changes. I’m more the chillax by the pool and sunbathe with a cocktail. But when the kids bat those pretty-please eyelashes, it’s amazing what I’ll do.
So I actually rode lots. My kids rode everything numerous times with the hubby. My faves: the big family slide that goes seriously fast, the boat ride (longest wait, so go early in day to skip lines maybe) and I had fun on double-rider tubes with the kids.
The “toilet-plunger” (we call it), was thumbs down and two Tylenol from this mama. You zoom down tubes hands behind head, it whips you around, circles you into a toilet-like bowl, then plunges you in a pool. My 5-year old rode it two more times (whacked), while my girl and I went to the warming pools (ahh).
Lots to do for all ages, and cool for all ages. There’s the family vibe, teen scene, and baby pool (always warm). One place with lots of range.
Anyway, it was a fun time, even for this way chillax Mom. And the kids loved seeing me slip, slidin’ and screamin’ my head off.

PS, pack sandwiches, drinks and snacks and you’ll save a bundle. You can picnic outside the park or sneak some items in.
