Review of Beach Bend Water Park in Bowling Green, KY

Over the years, I have visited a lot of water parks in the southeastern portion of our country and that is why I thought I would give my opinion on a local water park here in Bowling Green, Kentucky. I have never been a roller coaster fan in my life. They make me sick to ride and I'll admit that I scream like a girl at a Christina Aguilera concert when I am riding them. So, I avoid roller coasters at all cost. But I absolutely love water parks, and there is no better place to go to during the hottest months of the year. I am here to let you know about Beach Bend Water Park in Bowling Green, Kentucky. I'm going to tell you what exactly there is to do there and how it compares to some of the other water parks I have visited over the years.

Having lived in Bowling Green for the past 5 years, I have made frequent visits to Beach Bend over the last few summers. Overall, Beach Bend isn't the greatest water park I have ever visited but it may have one of the cheapest entry prices I have ever seen. The prices range from $5 to $24 for entry. There is a roller coaster park at Beach Bend but that will cost extra. After 5 pm you can get in at only a $5 entry fee! If you want to know about the roller coaster park go ask someone else, like I said I hate those things!

The water park is definetely the cheapest part of the park to enter. Included at the water park is a large swimming pool (obviously), three water slides, and a children's area to play on slides in a very shallow pool. Now this may not sound like a whole lot but it can definetely keep you entertained for hours if you go just a couple of times in one summer. I always go with a few friends of mine and we stay for usually 3 hours. Three hours of entertainment at 5 bucks can't be beaten anywhere in the city.

The park is perfect for kids because the slides are a lot of fun but are tame enough not to scare many of the younger kids. One or two people can go down the slides at a time, so parents can slide down with their kids if they so choose. The park is fairly crowded but the after 5 pm crowd is usually not too bad and the wait time for the slides is usually only about 5 minutes.
