DreamWorks Water Park - American Dream Mall

I booked the DreamWorks Water Park located in the American Dream mall several weeks ago as I started planning our Spring Break. NJ still has cross state travel quarantines in place snd our schools are strictly reinforcing (understandably), which meant a Spring Break trip was out of the question. So began my planning of day trips. If your house is anything like mine, a no plan day ends up being harder than actually having a plan in place. So que the cruise director or Franc as some of my friends call me (Father of the Bride reference, anyone?) A friend of ours had taken her kids to the DreamWorks Water Park and she said it was amazing; and she was right. Full disclosure, this was one of the most expensive day trips I have ever done. It’s absolutely a special event sort of trip and not a regular occurrence for us. It cost us $350 for a 7 hour slot for 4 of us. Makenna was free. Our session block was from 12-7pm and we arrived about 12:20. We walked right in and were immediately ushered to a kiosk. Since I had prepurchased, check in was easy. They gave us wrist bands for entry and a separate wrist band to electronically open a locker; nifty. We had an option to upgrade to a private cabanna. While it sounded nice, the tickets were already so pricey we weren’t about to do that. You then have to walk through a changing area to get to the water park. The lockers are housed in the changing areas and they are broken down by “Families” “Women” “Men”. Within the family changing area they then have “Men with Children” and “Women with Children” changing areas. While check in was a breeze this changing room situation made my anxiety spike. There were a lot of people in a very small area. We all had our suits on already but we did want a locker. The locker ended up costing us $20 and it was a waste. Lesson learned, you don’t need the locker. Also, this area was confusing to navigate. They had people in the changing areas directing us because it was not well marked. Out of the whole experience this was my least favorite. Once we were through the changing area it opens up to vast and sprawling water park. It is fully themed with all your favorite DreamWorks characters. This little blog post will never do the size of this place justice. But it did ignite the kid in me. I was actually taken back by just how large the place is. In the middle is a huge wave pool flanked by water slides on each side. Also the music is LOUD. So loud it drowns out the noise of thousands of people screaming and playing. We found chairs immediately and began getting ready to play. The boys wanted to go to the wave pool first. We headed down the football field length of the wave pool to get to the entrance. To swim in the Wave Pool, every child needs a life jacket; even though my kids are good swimmers. Even the baby was required to wear a puddle jumper and she wasn’t even in an inch of water. After the wave pool we headed for the water slides. The waterpark is clearly delineated by heigh requirements. For us, JJ clears the 42” mark so he had options in both the “big kid” area and “little kid” section. Westyn literally missed the minimum by a half of an inch which was a little heartbreaking. The “little kid” area has slides for children as small as 36”. They have larger slides part of tree house juggle gym that my kids could go up and down by themselves. Makenna was too small to go down any slides but was totally content sitting at my feet playing in the 6 inches of water. Once we discovered this area, the kids had a blast. They were able to be self sufficient as we could see them climb the jungle gym up. We then parked ourselves at the bottom of the slide so we were there to greet them. All in all we spent 4 hours there hopping between the slides and the pool. The kids were begging to stay. However we were joyfully delirious. Lessons Learned:
