    We always spend the whole day here from open to close as much as we can. We're able to ride all the rides during off season. We're usually on the kiddy rides. The only bad thing is them being shortstop but since it's off season it's not bad because there's not a lot of people. I like how everything is set up where the kid rides are on 1 side and the big ride son the other. The set up of the train and rolling thunder is perfect while waiting for the adults at the rolling thunder and the kids are on the train. We went with a whole group and I think it's better that way so you can get group discounts and meal deals.

    Drove 45 minutes for trick or treating. When we arrived, everything seemed close. We checked the website, no announcement that is was cancelled. 1 hour later, they took the trick-or-treating activities offline. Thanks for the disappointment...

    Super cute shopping area with several boutiques that carry beautiful apparel. They had numerous displays set up throughout for events the day we visited and we especially loved seeing one of our sister companies marquee display - we also own an Alpha-Lit location 🧡💡💜 Of course I had to tighten one of the bulbs that was out because it was loose

    We went to OWA to eat lunch. I went years ago when it opened. It’s gone downhill and there wasn’t much open then. We entered the park off 59. We followed the signs all the way around. First all of your signs need to cleaned. We parked around back of all the stores. I thought it would be a nice walk. Everything looked run down. We looked at one of the maps, they were dirty, faded, mold and mildew. There are several bars on the restaurant section but few places to eat a meal. We went on a weekday and after Labor Day events. You would think things would be decorated beautifully. Not so much. Faded flags and some falling down!!! Plastic flowers in the planters were faded and just ugly. The walkways were covered in weeds & trash. The flower beds were lacking in flowers. The shrubs and trees needed to be trimmed. Has the grounds keeper heard of a pressure washer. The whole park needs to be done. As we drove by the water park out front. The outside waterslide tubes were faded or have a residue on them. A build up of algae on the waterslide tubes could be seen as you drove by. The outside garbage receptacles are dirty and also have a residue on them that Im sure would come off with a little cleaning. I hate to see this place go under. I can see why new businesses would choose a different location and why so many have closed. Somebody needs to get involved and make some changes. I no longer live in Foley but I do come visit often. It would be a shame to see this place not make it.
