Every summer I like to join in on the Summer of Awesome fun that was started by Lynn at Diary of a Turtlehead. You can see my original post HERE.
Mont Cascade is a very short drive from our home and we decided to take a venture over to Mont Cascade with the babe for some afternoon fun. We went on Fathers Day and I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t over crowded even though it was the weekend and the sun was shining brightly. Under $20 for an adult admittance fee, a steal in my mind for a waterpark, how can you not go?!
The baby pool has a nice shallow beach entrance that makes it enticing for the wee ones. I dislike the grainy pool bottom as I find it is not comfortable to sit on and definitely not made for kneeling while splashing with tots. There are 3 little slides that come down into the baby pool and 2 slightly larger slides that come down into a small pool of water within the slide that bring you to a stop. With the 3 slides that come down into the baby pool you have the option of a very wide one where multiple people can slide at the same time, one that enters straight into the pool and a third that is curvy. The 2 large slides that are still made for small children are slightly faster but babe still thoroughly enjoyed whipping down on my lap and continued to point back to the slide to go again!
After our first afternoon there (we spent 2 hours there and that was more than enough with the babe) we purchased a membership on our way out which meant our days admittance fees were subtracted from the membership fee. At $36.99 we easily paid off our membership in the first few visits.
Take your lunch and snacks as food is allowed on site and the parking lot is very close to the entrance should you wish to leave stuff in your car to get later! There is also a snack bar and a place to buy drinks but we haven’t checked that out yet as we have been going before dinner for a few hours to cool off and kick back.
This year we were finally able to venture on to a few of the larger tube slides with our 3 year old son. Going with friends and having a group of adults and kids ride down together is definitely filled with giggles, shrieks and fun.
I definitely think that year after year we will continue to enjoy this water park that is so close to home.
