What makes it 70% Baby-Friendly: Babies may splash in shallow wave areas, nursing room, stroller access and diaper stations help, but loud water cannons and limited infant rides mean parents must supervise closely.

The DreamWorks Water Park at American Dream is absolutely incredible — honestly the best water park I’ve seen so far. The slides, the wave pool, the whole atmosphere… everything is on a totally different level. We loved every minute of it, and it’s definitely a place we’d come back to again. 🌊✨

DreamWorks Water Park at American Dream is a great spot for a family day! The park is big enough with plenty of slides and attractions that kept both the kids and adults entertained. We had a blast! I definitely recommend renting a loft or cabana—especially if you have a baby or you're coming with another family. It gives you a nice space to relax and take breaks. One tip: wear water shoes! The f...

Dreamworks Water Park is absolutely amazing. It was my first time going to this water park. I really had a lot of fun. Changing rooms are clean, and they have lockers. My only complaints are that they need more tubes and have more character appearance times. I went during the sunset session, which is the last three hours of operating hours, and I didn't get to meet the characters.

It also included room service, which was a great bonus! The f...

Service goes through a link website that was having issues. Had to check with the front office and they cleared us to go in. We still could not get the parking pass and the girl in the front office said she would send in over t...
