Does zoombezi bay get too crowded on the weekends?

Question

The new waterpark in Columbus zoo is zoombezi bay and I have read that it is awful to go on the weekends. I have also heard they actually close it when it reaches maximum capacity of people and won't allow any others in. Is this true? I was thinking of taking my kids there and it would have to be on a Saturday but I don't want to waste a two hour trip if it is not going to be enjoyable.

Answer 1

Yes silly it's summer time they are always crowded on the week-ends and after 5:00 o'clock

Answer 2

just like any other amusement park it is best to get there as early as possible. where are you coming from that it will take you 2 hours. cincinnati has "the beach" and cleveland has "geauga lake" which are virtually the same thing. you can get season passes for zoombeezi bay for really cheap if you plan on going more than once. it pays for itself after like 2 visits.
