With temperatures this hot in Washington State, one of the best things to do is cool off with some water. Whether you choose to hop in the shower for a cool rinse off or go for the gusto by jumping in a pool, being a water baby is where it's at this time of year.

Believe it or not, Wild Waves in Federal Way gets a bad rep for having one of the worst lines in the state for summer water park adventures. I don't care what the complainers say, I can't wait to take my daughter here. It looks like a lot of fun.

Five Worst Things About Being at Wild Waves Theme & Water Park

I'll be honest, I didn't see some of these complaints coming from a mile away! (SEE #5)

 

1. The Lines Are Too Long

Sure, the lines are long, but maybe that's because you are not a hard-core fan that doesn't know the right time(s) of day to go when the lines are shorter! Watch out for line jumpers! **

LOCALS INSIDER TIP: The best time to go for shorter lines is right when they open in the morning on a WEEKDAY and right before they close at night.

 

2. There are Too Many Kids!

If you want some kid-free spaces because you scoff at the sight of them in your way at the pool, try going to Wild Wave's adults-only after parties; the next one is coming up in August.

 

3. The Cabanas Are Too Big!

There is a slight possibility one could get spoiled by the luxe spacious private rooftop VIP cabanas at Wild Waves. If you enjoy it a bit too much, you just might throw a diva fit when you rent a Vegas cabana and have to pay a whole lot more for a whole lot less!

 

4. Reserved Fright Fest Passes Sell Out Too Fast!

It's true, the annual Halloween scare-o-bration, Fright Fest, does sell out on occasion. Good thing they will let you know when that happens.
