Donna Williams: It was a bit loud & rowdy the last few times I've been to the pool.Visited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended No …More

Lacey McPhail: Well priced for what it offers and offers enough to keep myself and partner entertained when we are off work. Got the 20 visit pass for the summer :) Could definitely be cleaner, pools/river have bugs and debris. I understand why they limit to Independence residents only- they can barely keep the place running as it is. Grateful they are open and it's pretty packed as-is with Indy residents only, I couldn't imagine how busy it would be with the whole metro coming. All in all, great relaxing park

sonia t: Its a shame that people have to have some government id with a independence address to go swim for the day, even if they are visiting from another state or country or if a persons spouse only has their foreign id in which isnt accepted. Thats the most highest example of disgrace & racism. I used to love going here but i dont xare to be around places that are racist.Ticket type: We werent allowed to go in because my fiance doesn't have a government id with independence address

john myers: Can no longer enjoy cause we dont live in independence. This new rule is unfare to neighborings communities who dont have as nice of a park. If i made this same choice with my buisness i would go out of buisness. This is discrimination and should be delt with as such.

Shantra Sisk: Some of the arcade games could have been less tokens or actually worked. I was surprised to see it was still open. I grew up in south KC so it was awesome to still have something from my childhood.Visited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Yes Price for adult entry Free …More

Robert Walding: Arcade was great hit the jackpot on multiple games! Staff were really friendly and helpful. There was a three hour unlimited pass for mini golf and go karts, and for some reason you could only buy it at certain times. Otherwise they have been getting more up to date

Carrie Porter: It was honestly super lame. MostOf the game machines ate your coins or didn’t give you your tickets. Or didn’t work.The mini golf was poorly maintained. The only ok thing was the go karts. Overall I do regret spending my money here. It just sucks and total waste. But the employees are super cool! Just won’t be returning

Joseph D: The mini golf was fun with 3 courses to choose from.

Marcel Jr.: Me and my daughter loves this place...

Casey Clements: Course was a little run down, but still was fun. Wish someone would stick alittle money into this place as it's a great piece of history.

Charles Herndon: Great place for family fun

Tammy M: We rode the go carts and went to the arcade this time. It was fun but there were several games that were out of order. This place has been around for over 40 years and I think it's pretty cool!

steffh blackmon: Love it but looking for fun places for kids age 5

Liah Bruckner: I brought my son here today 5/5/2023. It was at 5:30 and they were not busy at all. There was one helpful older gentleman who told me to get tokens from the machine and not the counter because you don’t have to pay tax. Other than that every young person working here was rude and not helpful. They were all standing in a circle talking, not wanting to be interrupted. When I went to the counter originally for tokens the young woman working argued with a young guy on who would help me. They were two feet in front of me arguing about helping me. It was awkward. I finally said “can anyone just get me some tokens.” That’s when the older gentleman told me about the machine. We used the terminator shooting game and only one side worked, the other took my coins. Several of the machines took the tokens but wouldn’t play. With the rude teenagers working there it was pointless to ask for our tokens back. We then went to get food from their snack shack.. the two people working said order from up there and pointed to the front desk and walked away from us.. so we didn’t even bother. We wanted to play mini golf, but couldn’t get anyone to help us get golf clubs. Overall the workers really ruined the experience for us. We won’t be back. Super disappointed because this was a staple of both mine and my partners childhood that we had hoped to share with our son. Hoping they see this review and make the necessary changes in employment to make this place thrive again.

Krista Donovan: I highly suggest buying your tickets from Groupon. If you try to buy them off cool crest's website and head in shortly after the staff will tell you it takes 24 hours for it to register in their system. This was very inconvenient. They had to issue a refund (which can take 5-7 days) and buy then purchase the tickets from them in person at the desk for a higher price. Other than that, the go-karts were really fun! Mini golf could use some nice decor or something to liven it up. Arcade was a little on the run down side. Some of them were out of order and/or displayed low tickets signs. My kids enjoyed it though so that made it worth it.

David & Keri Birk: Great family fun

Michael Copeland: Many machines were broken or did not give out tickets I ordered two sodas cost was $7.13 I handed them a ten+13 cents I confused them they couldn't make change I had to tell them they owed me$3 pretty sad

Chris Bryant: Went for mini golf. Staff was friendly. Place was somewhat clean. Course we played could use some updates, not sure about the rest. It was functional, provided some fun and entrainment.

Christopher Senter: Showed up before 7 when they close at 8 to mini golf. they told me they were closing early cause they were slow and then as I said "okay thank you" and was walking away an employee blurted "go away"Trash service and trash business

Terence LaPoint: A very cool place to go but it is need of renovations.

gail terry: I'm so glad we have access to this park. So much fun...and a great relief from the heat.

C.J Miser: Plenty of things to do for all ages! There's horseshoes for adults and plenty of playground the children!Playground: There's enough playground for kids to play and burn energyRestrooms: They have restroomsDog-friendliness: Dis are welcome too

Darrell Bunger: Playground: Lots of kids laughing and having fun times, enjoyed itRestrooms: Your standard ol park restroom, about as clean as one could hope for.Dog-friendliness: Leashes required and poop pickup required but our furry friends are welcome if you're responsible enough to clean up after them and keep them leashed. Obviously if your pet has issues with children then don't chance it. There's always lots of kids playing and having fun.Picnic area: Chess tables, not a lot of room for it there but there's lots O grass area though. Also a fun sprinkler area for hot months, kids and adults alike enjoy it.

Will McIntyre: Good for family and good for picnic, lot of neat stuff for the kids other than that there's a lot of bums that you might have to watch out for

Patricia Golding: I have lived in Independence,Mo. most of my life. My grand children have played there, been to the water park and many birthday's celebrated there. Now I will have the scenic view over looking my balcony everyday of this beautiful park to enjoy.

Troy Rabinowitz: Beautiful and just things that you don't see it other.parks.

Asch-Lee Patricia Butts: Kids love going here.Some of the equipment needs to be repaired, but otherwise we're happy there.Playground: Areas for all ages, little and big kids.Restrooms: Open during the summer, but I wish it was during the rest of the year and more central to both areas.

Myles Awaye: Back in the 1990's a body was found deep in the sand that the authorities determined was there since at least the early 1980's.Good Ole' Independence.

Jessica Richardson: I had a gender reveal party and the shelter was available. We were able to carry out the part without any distractions and we were not bothered. However the restrooms were locked and no restroom available. I understand why they may be closed but makes for a long party with no restroom and should have checked that first for the guests. They were able to use restrooms across the street but had to walk a bit.

Lisa Milligan: Great playground for toddlers, next to a beautiful playground for a bit older kids. Some of the slides in the older kid's playground ended too high off the ground.

Jennifer Marie Murcia: Love it 😍

Sam Kingsley: If you want a fun park for old and young kids alike, come to this park! It has an attached splash pad that my kids love during the summertime! It has a wide open surrounding area, which helps to keep kids safe, and makes it quite lovely in overall appearance. We picnic here often.They have horseshoe games here. I've seen people play, but have never joined them myself.

Miranda Martinez: My granddaughters all love this park! They beg me to take them every time they come over, reguardless of weather. Very clean, and populated most of the warmer months.

Robert Perez: Ahh,just waiting for spring to begin….and a HiBoy hamburger to munch on!

Joseph Maya: The restrooms are always locked.
