Chelsea Zhou
"Learning how to wakeboard couldn’t be easier and this much fun! The floating structures are great for exercise so get tickets to attend the 1hr sessions."
Ernest
"One of the best water park I've ever been to. It's so much. Fun! Hudge obstacle course was a blast. Zipline is very fun to do. And the wakeboarding looked super awesome. Hamster balls are a workout! Food is also really good. Will go back!"
"Took my grandson there with a friend and learned how to Wake Board! Fabulous experience!! 👍"
Don Everson
"Cable-park wakeboarding makes wakeboarding easy to do on a regular basis, quickly and easily, and it doesn’t require owning a boat, paying for gas, towing a boat, or getting it in and out of the water. It’s great exercise, there are plenty of features to do tricks on, and the features get moved from time to time, so the layout never gets old...."
Callan Baird
"Did the Aqua Splash Birthday package for our 10 year old and his friends and absolutely loved it!! The owners and staff at Wake Island were very helpful and friendly, parents and kids both enjoyed the facility. Cold drinks, good food and hours of entertainment."
Matt Javete
"Spent the day with my fellow moms and a bunch of kids today. So fun! The staff were incredible and the food was legit! We also pampered ourselves and got a cabana which made for a great day. Looking forward to going back!"
Jackie Birge
"Wow! What a wonderful experience. We took a group of 8 kids and they each had so much fun. The staff was amazing and friendly. They acted more of summer camp leaders than enforcers of law. They were fun but maintained a safe place for all..."
