My stay at Fort Rapids was quite disappointing. the waterpark was overcrowded and not very clean. While the staff tried to be helpful, the lack of organization made for a frustrating check-in process. The room had significant issues, and overall, the experience left much to be desired.

The bathtub was quite dirty, with rust and hair. Housekeeping did attempt to clean it, but it quickly reverted to its unappealing state. The Cisco Kids Bunkhouse had missing parts, which was concerning.

I had a mixed experience during my stay at Fort Rapids Indoor Waterpark Resort. The waterpark was fun with plenty of activities for my kids, but the room cleanliness left a lot to be desired, and the dining options were quite limited. Noise from the interstate and trains made it difficult to relax as well. Overall, it was enjoyable for the kids but could definitely use some improvements.

I had a good trip overall with my family, although there were definitely some ups and downs. The waterpark was a hit with my kids, and the villas were spacious and suited our needs. However, we faced issues with our room's cleanliness, including a toilet problem that marred our stay. Despite the challenges, we made some fun memories, especially in the arcade and during the free old-time photo session.

I recently stayed at Fort Rapids Indoor Waterpark over a weekend and had quite a mix of experiences. My room was clean and well-maintained, but the overall cleanliness of the waterpark was shocking, with dirty food around and unsanitary snack areas. I was pleased with the friendly staff, who quickly brought me a coffee maker to my room, yet there were major issues like a lack of available tubes for the water rides and a very limited food selection, making for a rather frustrating visit.
