Review from Joshua S.
8/5/2011 3 Check-ins Here
While this place can be a bit over-run with kids, it is important to remember that is a waterpark which operates in the summer time.
It is staffed by typical high school age kids, who do their best to keep us alive and floating/sliding.
If you're expecting country club treatment for civic center prices, you'll be sorely disappointed and should probably spare us and the staff your presence.
The pools are awesome, and lazy river is huge and very exciting. Slides are very cool for a civic pool, some of the best in the area. They have 4 of them and they are very diverse. One is really fast, one is completely covered, one is done with a tube and the other is a tandem set-up for younger/smaller folks.
If you're a resident, there are normally specials on season pass pricing, look for them in January/February.
This is a great place to go relax and cool off. While crowds can be an issue, it doesn't invalidate that this is a fun summer hang out. -

I have a lot of trouble ranking this place. Though it is massive and has a ton of different "fun" things to do, it's kind of overrun with out of control children. Also, it's outrageous to get into, ($15 unless you are a citizen of Maryland Heights...ridiculous!).
So, now to describe this fine water park of sorts. Aquaport was the first of the big pool renovations in St. Louis. Now, it seems every municipality has their own fancy pool. Since Aquaport has been around the longest, they have some really different things. Of course, they have the lazy river, which as I said is overrun with children. Just try to relax in this thing. I once even asked the lifeguard to please tell this incredibly obnoxious group of boys away from my friend and I, and he just stared at me like I had six heads. Great job keeping those kids in control buddy. They have some decent slides too, fast to slow and the lines are never that bad. But the best part, they have the big toilet bowl. Basically, jump in and start swirling around the tube like water in a toilet until it dumps you out the small hole in the bottom and shoot into the pool below. Talk about water up your nose, but hey it's still pretty fun!
Generally, I like this place. It's clean and it's well maintained. I never feel gross getting in the water here, which is certainly a good sign. However, between the out of control children, the lazy lifeguards and the high prices, I just don't go here all that often. It simply is not worth it.Listed in: Great Date Places

Aquaport is a clean, safe fun place to take the kids. The slides are awesome and the lazy river is a lot of fun. I have never been there when it was overly crowded although I hear that it get busy on the weekends. I prefer taking my children Monday - Friday when there are never any crowds and no lines. Additionally, parking is free and very convenient. The facility has a good concession stand area that is clean and fairly priced. The admission fees are $10 for kids and $15 for adults which really isn't that bad since it is for a full day of fun. Plus that, there are discounts on http://www.marylandhei... website and on their Facebook page. All in all, i think it is a great way to spend a warm summer day in St. Louis.
