点评:To me, this is the best place in Oklahoma. Let me tell you why I highly prefer Riversport over some waterpark or Hurricane Harbor with my kids!
1) First, I fee it is MUCH more family friendly. At other parks we have to deal with unattended teenagers cussing, vaping, and being wild. Riversport has none of that.
2) Second, Riversport feels safe. It is “small” enough that I can see my kids easily from a bridge no matter which activity they are involved in and I feel so much less worried about someone grabbing them or coercing than I do at say frontier city.
3) Third, Riversport has activities for adults to enjoy!!! I LOVE the rafting, tubing, and I can comfortably sunbathe while the kids surf and body board. At other water parks most of the time is spent just watching the kids or taking part in activities I don’t really want to do (think splash pad bucket of water falling on your head or the same slide over and over blah!).
4) There’s also easy access to indoors, you can always go inside to shop, eat, go to your locker room, play video games upstairs etc, indoor availability is highly limited or none existent at other summer water parks I’ve been to.
5) Lastly, the lines are never more than 15 minutes for us. I would recommend going on a weekday if at all possible since I think Saturdays do have a bit longer lines. I truly cannot recommend Riversport highly enough - if your kids are 8 or above I say it’s a no brainer!! It’s thrilling and exciting and yes, some of the rafting trips can feel “scary” but the guides there are good about making sure everyone is safe and rescuing you quickly if you happen to fall out (doesn’t happen that often).
If you live anywhere close to OKC and plan to go more than once, the season pass is the way to go. We have bought season passes for the past three years and money wise, the pass is a STEAL! ($99 Black Friday sale). Membership includes coming every day through the summer (weekends only in May and Aug), an extra hour of surfing in the evenings not available to the public, a free locker in the membership locker room, (membership locker room also includes a private bathroom and shower), two rafting trips included each day, bringing guests for free on Mondays, and a 20% discount on all food and merchandise. I think $200 for that all summer would still be a steal!
My only wishes echo what a few others have said - I wish there were opportunities for adults to go on single tubes if they sign an extra waiver or something. We also wish there was an adventure day where members get to do extra fun things like try to float down the channel or go on a ducky, etc. We’d be willing to pay something like $50/person for that day!!!! I also think they should have a winter pass that allows skiing, and an indoor flo-rider, we would love to stay active all winter. I wish the lessons were more clear also - we asked for kayaking lessons and got different answers from different staff. Some said you have to be 16, some said you can’t practice on the white water no matter what, some said they are included in the membership, it’s not clear. We love the tubing but we will keep advocating for a tubing conveyor belt (they have enough room to build one now that Bark is closed) that transports the tubes for you from the end of tubing back up to the starting point.
翻译:对我来说,这里是俄克拉荷马州最棒的地方。让我来告诉大家,为什么比起其他水上乐园或飓风港,我更喜欢带孩子们去Riversport吧!
1) 首先,我觉得这里对家庭来说友好得多。在其他游乐园里,我们不得不面对那些无人看管、说脏话、吸电子烟且行为粗野的青少年。而在Riversport则完全没有这种情况。
2) 其次,Riversport给人一种很安全的感觉。这里足够“小”,以至于无论我的孩子们在做什么活动,我都能从桥上清楚地看到他们。相比在类似Frontier City这样的地方,我不用担心有人会拐走或胁迫他们,心里踏实多了。
3) 第三,Riversport还为成年人准备了各种娱乐活动!!!我超爱漂流和橡皮艇运动;而当孩子们在冲浪或玩尾波滑水时,我也能安心地晒晒太阳。在其他水上乐园里,大部分时间我都只是看着孩子们,或者被迫参加一些我其实并不想参与的活动(比如头顶上会有水桶里的水倾泻而下,或者一遍又一遍地滑同一个滑梯之类的!)。
4) 此外,这里进出室内也很方便。你可以随时进到室内去购物、用餐、去更衣室,或者到楼上玩电子游戏等等。而在我去过的其他夏季水上乐园里,室内的设施要么极其有限,要么根本不存在。
5) 最后,。对我们来说,排队时间从来都不会超过15分钟。如果可以的话,我建议在工作日去,因为我觉得周六的排队时间可能会稍长一些。我真的极力推荐Riversport——如果你的孩子年满8岁,那绝对值得一去!!那里既刺激又好玩;虽然有些漂流路线会让人觉得有点“吓人”,但那里的导游很负责,能确保大家的安全,万一有人不慎落水,他们也能迅速实施救援(这种情况其实并不常见)。如果你住在OKC附近,且打算多次前往,那么购买季票是最佳选择。过去三年我们一直都买季票,从性价比来看,这简直是超值之选!(黑色星期五促销价仅为99美元)。会员权益包括:整个夏季均可每日入场(5月和8月仅限周末);晚上还能额外享受一小时公众无法使用的冲浪时间;在会员专用更衣室里有免费的储物柜(该更衣室还配有私人洗手间和淋浴间)。每天提供两次漂流活动,周一时游客还可免费参与;所有食品和商品都能享受20%的折扣。我觉得整个夏季花200美元就能享受这些服务,简直是超值划算!
我唯一的期望也和其他一些人提到的一样——我希望能为成年人提供单独乘坐漂流圈的机会,只要他们签署一份额外的免责协议之类的文件即可。我们还希望能设立一个“冒险日”,让会员们可以参与更多有趣的活动,比如尝试顺着水道漂流,或者乘坐皮划艇等等。我们愿意为那一天支付每人约50美元!!!! 我还认为他们应该推出一种冬季通票,让人们可以滑雪,还能使用室内旱雪道;这样我们就能整个冬天都保持活跃了。另外,我希望课程说明能更清晰一些——我们询问了皮划艇课程的相关信息,但不同工作人员给出的答复都不一样。有的人说必须年满16岁才能参加,有的人说无论怎样都不能在急流中练习,还有人说这类课程已包含在会员权益中。实在有些令人困惑啊。我们很喜欢这个管道输送系统,但我们仍会继续呼吁安装一条管道传送带——既然Bark店已经关闭,现在有足够的空间来安装这种传送带,它能把用完的管道从末端重新送回起点。
