Pioneer Waterland & Dry Fun Park 10661 Kile Road, Chardon, OH 44024

"A great place, I haven’t been in years . It wasn’t packed which I loved because the kids could move around more freely. The food was great. Everything was reasonably priced. We went on a chillier day but the kids still got in the water and had a great time. We also enjoyed the dry activities. The bumper cars was so fun. The paddle boats was relaxing, we played the put put, as well as the air ball shoot game(don’t know the proper name) but it was fun. We had a great time and the staff was friendly."

"Great water park & fun park. Unfortunately they have a lady working in the office who is very rude and unhelpful. We had called before we came asked several questions to be prepared because we had a large group. Well the lady at the desk gave different information and when we explained what we were told over the phone her response was I Don’t Care!! Let’s do better Pioneer hire someone who likes people if the are going to be working with the public."

"Our family enjoyed being here very much.First we floated down the lazy river. Then my children wanted to try out the water slides. There are two winding slides, one dark slide, and two steep slides. Then the pool…it’s huge with a shallow area and a large deeper area. Also an inflatable obstacle course. Water is clean. They have life jackets there.Plenty of lifeguards everywhere. The little store is very clean and neatly decorated. They have picnic tables and shade. You can bring your own food, or buy food there. You can get water and ice too. Also there are grills there. We brought our own wood and made hamburgers and hot dogs. We played mini golf which is included in admission. The go carts are $8 for 5 minutes or $25 for 1hour. I think it should rather be $8 for 15 minutes or maybe $10 for 20 minutes. 5 minutes is too short and 1 hour is too long. My son really enjoyed the batting cage. He hit 200 pitches. It wasn’t working at first but they came and fixed it promptly and gave him 20 free pitches. We had tried to come earlier and got rained out. They gave us rain tickets so we could come back. Thanks Pioneer! You all do a great job."

"The price of admission is more than fair for what you get. We took our kids for the 4th and we all had a blast. Look, it's an older water park, so don't expect a sparkling new resort. But it's relatively well maintained and clean. The slides are great, the lazy river is relaxing, and we had lots of fun in the deep end of the pool playing on the large inflatables. You can bring your own food and drinks (alcohol must be purchased on site) and there are plenty of seating areas and grills. The park is big enough to not feel crowded but small enough to get to everything quickly. Mini golf and paddle boats on the pond are included in the price. We didn't try the go karts."

"We went on the Monday after Father's Day because they had a buy one, get one free deal going on for admission. I believe it is normally $33 per person, unless they are 46" or under. It is a small water park that has 5 taller slides, all off the same wooden structure (two are straight drop slides with a little hill in the middle, one is a tube slide that has curves, and the other two are curvy slides that are open), a decent sized lazy river, a concrete "pond" area with inflatable floating structures in the 10' deep area and a shallow area, and a small "splash" area that has a small frog slide and two water guns that are like sprinklers. There's not a lot of water options. There are also some dry activities available like batting cages, putt-putt golf, pillow jumping thing to jump on, paddle boats, a couple dry, small, single slides, some kind of foam archery thing, and go-karts (go-karts and batting cages cost extra). If it's not crowded, you can do the bigger slides without having to wait in line forever, or at all. Same is true with some of the other water stuff and the dry stuff. Bad part is that it can get boring doing the same 5 slides over and over. Everything, wet and dry, seems run down and neglected. The water was cooler, but it was also around 90 degrees when we went, so anything would feel cool at that point. There were spots where the water seemed decently clean, and other spots, not so much, but nothing too terrible. Another good thing about this place is you can bring in your own cooler full of food and beverages. They have picnic table areas or you could just bring some camp chairs/blanket and sit in the lawn somewhere. There are some decent shaded areas. It is a very relaxed setting. If we lived closer to this place, like 15 to 20 minutes drive time, I could see wasting a day here during the week when it's not crowded. But since we live around 40 minutes away, it's not really worth the drive to go here. We might do a sporadic trip here again if they offer some more deals. They do have food and beverages available to buy, but they did seem expensive and I'm not sure I'd trust the quality of the food based on the upkeep of the rest of the park. Maybe a tray of French fries would be fine, but that was around $9. So it's a solid "okay" place to go, and that's only if it's not crowded. If it were crowded, it would've been worse having to actually stand in line forever to do the 5 slides they had. We spent around 2 hours here and the 3 kids (13, 10 & 7 year old) had had enough. Not the best place for older kids."
