Editorial Review for Wild Waves Theme Park – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Chances are, you've never met a kid who wouldn't go crazy for water slides. Wild Waves has amusement park attractions such as a giant swinging pirate ship and a roller coaster--but the real draw is the wide selection of water-themed thrill rides. Multiple slides, a wave pool, inner tube river ride and small pool for kids help the entire family have fun. An arcade section with old-fashioned games like ring toss and balloon darts round out the park.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoIt's a good idea to wear aqua socks or some other water-friendly footwear--walking on asphalt can be tough on the feet, and you don't want to step in a stagnant puddle.
When to GoWatch out for crowds, especially on weekends. It's tough to get the whole family together during the week, but that's the best time to avoid lines.
Look GoodOn cold days, warm up in one of the on-site hot tubs.
The ExtrasAsk about group discounts on tickets and about reserving the onsite picnic areas for large crowds.
Save MoneyBuy a season pass if you go often--it pays for yourself in just three visits.

I just wanted to say that my family attended a theme park in Fresno, California where it is park setting and we were able to bring in as much food in a cooler as we like. There was no parking fees, and no one checks your bag pack as you enter. The fee is the same as Wild Wave in Federal Way. As a matter of fact it is called Wild waters. It was very nice, it was set like a picnic setting. Lots of areas for big kids to play, and for little ones as well, and rides. The park have grill for you to BBQ your food if you choose to. So I have to say maybe Wild Wave can set something similar to it. But, by complaining and then spending all kinds of money to enter is not going to do anything about the problem that exist.

I have been to Wild Waves about six times since I moved here 8 years ago and I enjoy it every time. But it can be pretty spendy for families and groups. Here are my tips for fun on a budget. *Two weeks in advance look online for tickets 34.99 at the gate 29.99 at their site but you can find deals for 20 at seattle parks and rec. Last year I got tickets for 12 on e-bay. Do your research and the savings really start to add up!(Beware of coupons: great for week days but not a decent discount for week ends.) max savings for family of four 60$ * Parking may seem a bit steep at 12 dollars but it is worth it to park in their parking lot when you see 3 dollar 16oz bottles of soda. Pack a cooler of goodies pop juice and what ever else tickles your fancy. Get a hand stamp at the gate and eat at you car. Not only will it be probably far healthier then what the park has to offer, but it far cheaper as well! max savings for family of four 50$ I hope I helped enjoy your saving and your time :D
Pros: great time, fun rides
Cons: bad food, long lines
