"Super fun place to bring family and friends. I wouldn’t bring young kids, definitely at the very least 8 years or older. The rapids don’t get too bad but there’s a couple of small spots to be careful around. You need to bring cash and highly suggest water shoes and shorts."
"Good time for decent price!!"
"Fantastic fun and very well organized. Trip down the river takes 2 hours. Bring cash!"
"Nope, never again. Opposite of what I was looking for. I was expecting lazy river type experience with some small "rapids." What I got was a sore and bruised body from repeatedly getting stuck on the rocks and having to paddle and use muscles to move myself away from rocks, tree branches, etc. A family member who tipped over in the first set of actual rapids and lost her glasses, and a friend with bloody scrapes along his lower back from hitting rocks. From the start time of signing the waiver to getting in my car when it was over, a total of 3 hours. 3 very long hours. Be aware that the first set of rapids is soon after you start. No warning, they are right there. I think it's unsafe not to have signs posted or helmets for people if they choose to wear one. The people giving the rules are basically kids who have no clue. They sit at 2 sets of rapids doing nothing. You're basically on your own. They tell you not to stand up if you fall off your tube at the rapids because you can get your foot stuck in the rocks. Yet when my family member fell into the water, they told her to stand up. Bring your own life vest because the ones they have are moldy and smell gross. The best part of the experience was when I was able to walk out of the water at the end and get on the bus with the older gentlemen bus driver, who was super nice."
"An hour-long single-person tube ride down the Farmington River. Ducks go diving for fish close by throughout the ride. The ice cold water from the handful of rapids sections will spike your heart rate. Definitely wear a bathing suit and water shoes/sandals."
