Grapeland Water Park's Newer New Fall Hours

Just a heads up--Grapeland Water Park has newer new fall hours. At least now they are actually posted on the website correctly. I scheduled a get together there for my Hip Moms Meetup Group one morning shortly after school started, only to find that they had reduced their hours to afternoons and weekends only. I scheduled another one earlier this week, only to find that the hours had changed again, to weekends and school holidays only. At the time, the info was not posted on the website--you only found out once you got there and found the note taped up on the ticket window. Bummer. Needless to say Elle was not happy that there would be no water park adventure.

Considering how broke Miami is right now, I think the reduced hours are a good move. The water park was a ghost town last year on school days, so they were paying lifeguards to be on site when there were very few people there most of the time.

A sort-of alternative would be the little Splash N Play at South Pointe Park on South Beach. It's no water park, but it's cute, has a little playground right next to it, and perfect for younger kids especially (older kids would be bored.)

New Grapeland Water Park Hours: Saturday and Sunday: 10am - 6pm
we will be open on Teacher Planning Days and School Holidays 10am - 6pm
except for Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Years Day.
