Avalanche Bay Indoor Waterpark in Boyne Falls, Michigan

“We had such a blast at the water park! The kids couldn’t get enough — from the moment we walked in, they were running from one activity to the next. There’s something for everyone: water slides, splash zones, a wave pool, and even an indoor surfing area that kept them entertained for hours. Our little ones loved the gentler areas, while the older kids went wild on the bigger slides. The park is easy to get around,…”

“This review is for Avalanche Bay, specifically. We've been visiting Boyne for several years because of the convenience and options of both the slopes and waterpark. Some positive notes, the prices for the waterpark haven't risen as much as comparable places. Also, the staff is very friendly and professional and make the visit worth visiting time and time again. The downside, the waterpark opened at noon (Tuesday)…”

“My family of 3 came here while visiting up north, but we were not staying at the hotel. Initially when we walked in, everything looked a little outdated, but still pretty cool. Once we got closer, I could see that it was very dirty. The floor was slimy, and mildewed. It took everything inside of me to walk around barefoot in there. The bottom of the pools, lazy river etc had stains, especially on the edges. I was…”

“The waterpark is great. Family has a great time everytime we come. Lifeguards are attentive. Avoid going to the apres ski bar though. The service in that place is horrid, I've never seen drinks made slower. I dont know if it intentional or what but wow, zero urgency. Bloody mary sets should be made ahead of time not to order you.”

“We have been to this hotel and Waterpark before and had been wanting to go back. The hotel was clean with friendly and efficient staff. The location was nice as it wasn't too far from home and there was a lot to do for my family. The Waterpark was disappointing. The water was cold especially in the lazy river. The slides were fun for my 5 year old but they were too big for my 3 year old to go alone and adults arent…”

“We come to the waterpark every year and this time was not our best experience unfortunately. We came on a Monday afternoon and were disappointed with the lack of lifeguards. There was only one guy at the top of the slides, trying to control the lines for all 3 of them. It was an extremely unsafe situation because we saw multiple kids go down without him giving them the go-ahead, which could’ve caused collisions and…”

“I’m giving this place a 1 star because, their website and in person prices are off, on the website it’s 25 for Sunday funday. I went and paid 90 dollars for me and my boyfriend even when the lady at the front said it was 35 dollars a piece, which would have made it 70 dollars. Does that make sense? No it doesn’t. It’s a scam place, speaking of scams their arcade has you pay so much money when you cause get those…”
