Seven Peaks Water Park

Seven Peaks is fun and all, just beware the cold water! The diving area is all cold water, but DEFINITELY do not do the pink slides. They hurt your heels and back… There are also the really tall slides that are really fast. This place is 3 stars due to their cleanliness and lack of shade…

We drove half an hour to find out it was closed to season pass holders (with no explanation) and we’d have to pay an extra $ 25 to get in. Complete BS

This place gets some really terrible reviews. If I were paying full price, I would be probably pretty bummed as well. We found a deal on living social for $ 10 for a season pass. That’s less than half of a regular price entry. As far as water parks go, I’m sure this one isn’t the best out there. Regardless, it’s still a good time. Paying for parking is obnoxious, but we just park on the street and walk a little. The only thing I don’t really care for is paying for tubes, considering the best slides need tubes. It’s definitely not the most ritzy place, but for 30 dollars for our little family of 3 to get season passes it’s definitely worth it to go three or four times. The kids area is great and my daughter has a blast on the rope swing. My one word of caution, however, is that the life guards all look like they barely potty trained themselves and don’t seem to be very attentive. I don’t think I saw a single staff member over the age of 20. I wouldn’t want to let my daughter off on her own for fear that people aren’t paying too much attention. All in all, we have had fun going. Would I pay full price? No chance in hell. But if I find a deal like this next summer I’ll definitely get it again and hopefully a little earlier in the summer so we can go more.

I consider myself a smart enough individual. Why I didn’t high-​tale it out of this water park the minute I noticed the line of 5 «out of order» sinks in the women’s restroom is beyond me. The rickety staircase and the peeling paint should’ve had me really questioning why I was there. I should’ve minded that there was NO parking, NO available lockers, and NO staff that I saw over the age of 20, but I turned a blind eye. I got super cheap «pass of passes», man! What a deal, right? We can come all summer for FREE!
There is no way you could even pay me to return to this dump. Check out the pictures posted here on Unilocal.See the one that you wish you hadn’t of clicked on? That’s my husband’s ankle in the ER.
Now, I understand that when you go to these kind of places, you assume some risk. However, after watching several people flip off their tubes (while still on the slide) before my husband did, I know we aren’t potentially alone in our nightmare afternoon.
Luckily for us, it was just a really knarly laceration. Since it took 5 minutes for their teenage first aid/​EMT staff to show up, I’m truly grateful we didn’t have a child that had gone under. The consequences there may have been tragic.
Lastly, I apologize to all the other swimmers that swam in my husband’s blood, seeing as how the lifeguard didn’t stop the other patrons from coming down the slide. She was probably worried that keeping 100+ people on rickety, 30 year old wooden stairs might actually bring the staircase down. I can hardly blame her.

So beyond frustrating! They are the most unorganized company. None of the staff knows what’s going on, nor do they inform them of rule changes. Each time I come it’s a different rule that gets enforced.

This place has gone down hill a lot since I went there as a kid. All of the slides are faded and crappy looking. The rickety wooden stairs leading up to the slides are the scariest things I’ve ever been on. Don’t know how they meet code. The water itself seems clean and kids really enjoy it even though it is overall pretty run down. Still a decent place to go on a hot day, just wish they would improve things a bit…

I’m am disappointed and disgusted at the dirty, run down and unkempt park. The parking lot is crazy, dirt and full of weeds. Remind me why I’m paying to park here? In one corner there was a pile of rocks and dirt in the middle of parking stalls. The bathrooms were gross. Dirty diapers and just super crowded. This park needs an over haul. I say the close for a month and do some needed repairs! Get the grass growing and clean it up!

I had known this park since they were Raging Water as a kid growing up in Utah. I suppose it was sold to Seven Peaks and renamed in the recent years. Reminisce of its past still haunt this place even today such as the back of the park map still has the Raging Water logo on it. They are at the borderline area to WVC, which attracts people from all different backgrounds.
I thought it was bit weird when I got tickets from friends to visit them in the recent years. Maybe they are having attendance issues? All of the park facilities were still the ones I remember when I was here as a kid, probably at least 10+ years ago. The locker was way out of shape and you can tell how bad the maintenance is by looking at the lawns.
Maybe you could get in for free, but the rest still cost money if you want to have a reasonable worthwhile experience from tube to overpriced food. They have different size of tubes, even ones that fits up to 4 people. Be sure to safe guard the tube if you still plan on using them because they usually get taken by other attendees like vultures the minute you are not watching the tube unless it was toward the end of day.
The slides were horrible, it was way out of maintenance and if you go down a fast one without protection, then you will exit the slide full of scratches or blood. Tube ones might still be safe if you managed to hang onto the tube. A lot of them looked rather dangerous, not because of the extremeness, but rather a safety concern. The only decent spots were probably the wave pool and the lazy river.
Seven Peaks in Salt Lake had become one of those places that even if they let me go for free, I will still have to consider it, and probably refuse it. The staffs all had a bit indifferent attitude here. Calling this place ghetto water park might be an overstatement.

Luckily, kids think everything is fun, so we did enjoy ourselves. But there were a lot of negatives that make me wary of purchasing a pass again. We purchased discount passes and I would consider this a discount water park.
PROS: Seniors get in free, lots of parking, kid area is fun with two different shallow depths available. Although crowded, there was enough room to walk and sit, but not necessarily near the area we wanted (under trees near kid area).
CONS: The lifeguards seemed ill informed and lackadaisical– I asked two separate ones if my three year old could ride a tube slide, both said it was fine if he went on my lap. We lost our tube right away, and slid down the whole slide without it. I was very surprised, having never had an experience like that before! Thankfully, we weren’t seriously hurt but I came away with pretty gnarly road rash type scrapes on my wrist, elbows, and knees.
The surfaces are run down, three of us came away with cuts on our feet just from being in the pools (not walking on the paths, like I might have expected).
Prepare to pay for everything, and include that in your «discounted» ticket price. You must pay for parking (there is some limited street parking for free) and tube rental. No outside food is allowed, and concessions are expensive.
We rented a «cabana» (just a shady table area) and because of that, we were allowed to bring a cooler in. It doesn’t state that clearly on the website.
I called ahead to see if we could show our passes digitally on our phones and were told that we had to bring printed out pages. Not a huge deal, but inconvenient when you don’t happen to have printer access, and pretty annoying when the tickets have a QR code on them– they should be able to scan from the phone just like from a printed page.

The place is like the children of the corn, you’ll never see an adult working. Management is also terrible and I think it’s run by 16 year Olds. But 30 dollars for a season pass to the water park and miniature golf is a steal!

The customer service at this park is very poor; staff are rude and visibly don’t want to be there. They nickel and dime your for EVERYTHING (ie. tube rental) rather than just make the price of tickets a bit higher. Multiple slide closures and not overly clean.

I never thought I’d be one of those reviewers that started their review with «I wish I could give this place zero stars»… And yet, here I am. Wishing I could give Seven Peaks zero stars.
I purchased a Pass of All Passes to Seven Peaks through one of those «deal» websites. It was supposed to come with a $ 20 gift card to Walmart.
18+ months later… I still don’t have the $ 20 Walmart Gift Card, despite repeated attempts to get it. And they haven’t been half-​hearted attempts either. I have worked my tail off to get them to keep their end of the deal, but no dice. No wonder they have a letter-​grade of «F» on the Better Business Bureau website!
Obviously, I’m not having a «love-​fest» with Seven Peaks Corporate. But the water park itself, is just as lackluster.
Buying a POAP doesn’t get you much at all.
It doesn’t cover the parking fee. That’ll be extra, every time you go.
It doesn’t cover tube rental. And there are many water slides/​pools that require a tube.
The Nickles and Dimes were flying out of my pocket, on our trip!
Not to mention the waterpark was FILTHY and in quite a bit of disrepair.
I can’t believe I actually paid to go here!
You couldn’t PAY ME, to return.

After looking forward to going to a water park all week we were extremely disappointed to find out that Seven Peaks was closed Sundays. Although we understand that this is Utah we were surprised that a business only open a couples months a year wouldn’t be open on a weekend day. We expected this from the Provo location given the high concentration of LDS there but not the Salt Lake location. This is especially disappointing given Seven Peaks has an almost monopoly on water parks in the area — luckily however Lagoon has Lagoonabeach and doesn’t have such archaic opening hours so our Sunday wasn’t ruined.

I was really torn between giving a 2 or a 3 star rating. The lifeguards here are the best thing about the park. We have a son in a wheelchair and they go out of their way to accommodate him. That being said, it’s ludicrous that you pay so much to get in just to pay even more for inner tubes. Too many rides require them. The food at the concession stand is ridiculously over priced. The gas station sells a corn dog for ¢.99. Seven Peaks charges $ 2.99. Eat before you go. Leave a cooler with food in the car to save your family of four $ 30 bucks.

Is it the Taj Mahal of waterparks? No. Things are a bit crumbly around the edges and the speed of the food service leads one to believe this might be the bottom of the barrel for summer jobs. But, there Is a lot of water, and on a hot day, armed with a very cheap pass of all passes, that is often more than enough.

We went July 5^th, the sprayer on the lazy river were shut off the slides were only half open the «cold» pool was nearly bathwater temperature the grass was mostly dead the steps hurt bare feet the concrete was cracked and chipped they won’t let you bring in your own food but theirs was overpriced and nearly disgusting and lastly the kids play area around the river is not functional overall a poor experience probably won’t renew my membership again also the bathroom is absolutely disgusting what the heck they have eight people in the office chatting it up but no one to come clean them

I moved to Utah in 1996 and always wanted to go to Seven Peaks, or Raging Waters as it once was. I finally got there a few months back, and I kind of wish I hadn’t bothered.
Positives:
1. A $ 10 pass of all passes for each family member with tube and parking add ons was screaming deal!
Negatives:
1. You MUST have a tube! You will be relegated to ¹⁄₈ of the fun if you don’t she’ll out for extra. The cost is obnoxious, but the added wait time to get /​return /​have them tube sit will waste at least 45 minutes of your fun. Also, I’m a big guy and being on those tubes raised my center of gravity and I kept falling off of the things anyways.
2 Nickel and Dime, others have said it, but you will pay a little more for everything. I would suggest that you plan on not using a locker. The cost is obnoxious, but, like the tubes, you will wait an inordinate amount of time to get access.
3. Shade, there is very little of it, and even though the parks got a lot of bad press about burned feet last year the management won’t even bother to spray things down with a hose when it’s hot.
4. If you afraid of heights don’t use the stairs. The stairs and elevated walkways are all in really bad shape. They are uneven and some of them wobble enough to induce a belief in God.
5. Food is pricey and 95% of the staff is under 20 years, so expect to wait for «Brady» to finish his conversation with «Rochelle» before he helps you (names made up).
6. The Pass of all Passes will result in major headaches. You will wait a very long time to get it, and the activation process will make you want to tear your hair out.
In general it seems like the owners of Seven Peaks have no intention of ever investing in this place. The only money they will ever spend will be on dire repairs. There will never be any improvements. They just intend to finish running it into the ground! If you get the pass of all passes and plan your day well you can have a good time, but I couldn’t imagine paying full price.

I might give it a higher rating later.
I bought the pass of all passes Monday June 16^th, and took the kids to the water park later on that afternoon.
When I went into their main office to have my passes/​cards printed out I had asked the lady working up front if she could clarify how to use the passes at participating locations. She said she did not know. This is my first time buying these passes, and having an informed employee working the front desk where you print them would have been nice.
Now to rate the water park itself:
Positive: My two little ones had a lot of fun in the shallow area designated for children, next to the playground. they had lifeguards on duty, that seemed to be focused, which is nice.
Negative: There was a lot of gunk in the water. Big and small. I totally get leaves falling into the water, but there was a lot of it scattered on the floor of the pool.
Negative: They don’t answer their phones there.
Negative, Negative, Negative: Their bathrooms are DISGUSTING. I went there on an overcast day too, the park was virtually empty, yet they couldn’t keep up on the bathrooms. Not only are they run down in general, I was scared to sit on those toilets. They should really implement a schedule for a worker to check them.
Again my review might change for the better, or the worse… I am hoping for the better.

I have tons of fond memories of this place from my teenage years. I came here alongside my fellow student body officers to film a little segment of our summer fun video, and I’ve spent several afternoons hanging out by the wave pool. This place hasn’t changed a bit.
No. Seriously. It hasn’t changed a bit. No upgrades. No additions. Hardly any maintenance. She’s not in great shape, and she’s not getting any younger.
Since its transition to a Seven Peaks facility (RIP Raping Waters) the business model has changed from a day pass to a nickel-​and-​dime. Know before you go that everything is going to cost you money. Parking. Lockers. Overpriced SYSCO food. Tube rental. And that last one – tube rental – that’s the one that will get you. Nearly every ride requires you to have a tube rented and they start at $ 6 a pop.
If you know about the nickling and diming beforehand, you can avoid some of the shock. Don’t bring valuables, park on the street, and suck it up on the tubes. Most people get the Pass Of All Passes. Much has been said about that elsewhere, but don’t ever pay full price for any of that stuff. Even tube rentals. You can buy them discounted ahead of time. This place LIVES in the discount zone.
On my last visit there, I got in early as a passholder, but half of the stuff doesn’t even open until noon. The wave pool was broken (suspiciously they said «there were some complications» which is different than «it broke») and I noticed just how much of the park wasn’t working. Things roped off. Bad drainage.
There are some fond memories of this place, but sometimes those things are best left in the past.

Unilocal still lists it as Raging Waters, but it’s been Seven Peaks for some time now.
Park is fairly run down, could use some work. It is always overcrowded. In addition to the admission fee, they will charge you for parking, tube rental (not a lot you can do there without a rented tube), locker rental, and they will not let you bring in food or drinks. They will happily sell you over-​priced food and drink in the park. It isn’t terrible, and for the park alone I would probably give two and a half stars. Unfortunately, I am going to include customer service in my rating, hence the single star.
In anticipation of the kids being out of school, I bought the Pass of All Passes from Groupon. It looks like a really good deal on paper. They require that you redeem the pass online, and they charge more taxes or fees or something at that point. So when you’re figuring the costs, add the fees (that they don’t tell you about until you’ve purchased from Groupon), add parking, add tubes, and probably add food.
Then add a huge amount of waiting and deception about wait time. They said it would take 6 – 8 weeks to send my passes. (Which frankly, seems like a really long time to me.) It’s been over two months and I’m still waiting. When I get a response from them, they assure me the passes are coming soon. They did recently institute a change in which you can start going before the passes come. I found out today when I contacted them to find out the status of my passes. (Good call letting people start going before their passes arrive, bad call not contacting those who have been waiting over 8 weeks to let them know…)
When I factor in all the hassle, aggravation, getting charged for everything except the air you breathe in the park, the crowds, the state of disrepair, I think next year I’ll pass the pass of all passes.
