pampa h20 aquatic center

We went to the Pampa H2O water park last summer. Although it is small it was a fun place to be. There are plenty of activities to do. It was exceptionally clean and the staff was wonderful. We even ate snacks while we were there. They were resonably priced and good. The park itself was nice and clean. We can't wait to return this summer!

This small water park makes itself feel enormous with it's well planned spacing and placement. There is a lazy river for all, a water playground for the wee ones, and slides for the big "kids." ;)Prices are wonderfully easy on the pocketbook at $6 for ages 4-17 and $8 for ages 18+. Children 3 and under are free.

This is a great family friendly water park that is owned by the City of Pampa, Texas. It has a very reasonable entrance fee of $7 adults, $6 students.The park hours are typical for this area, 12 Noon - 7pm, weather permitting, they will close if lightening is within 5 miles.If you are looking for a Wild Waves or Schlitterbahn experience, then NO, this is not even close!There are 2 "tube" slides, a tube to bowl slide (FUN), a children's water play area, and a pool with 2 springboards. The only reason that this water-park is getting 4 stars not 5 stars, is the unposted rules that this park has! I understand completely the need for rules, especially at a water-park, but there are so many rules, that first timers will have a very difficult time following along, and guests of this fun little water park find out about these rules in a not-so-polite way. That is right, there is no signage telling of rules!!!RULE #1 - NO FOOD OR DRINK ALLOWED (unless you buy the food or drink from the City concession stand) - not even a bottle of waterRULE #2 - NO EARRINGS ALLOWED IN THE POOLS, ON THE SLIDES, ETC... - Now I do understand the safety feature of this, however it would have been nice to have seen this written somewhere. I personally have earrings that are NOT removable as my husband and the jeweler tightened the hoops so they will not come out. This was easily resolved when I explained and showed the park manager the situation and she put a small bandage on each of my earrings, to show the life-guards that they were indeed okay.RULE #3 - NO MORE THAN 3 PEOPLE PER PLATFORM - This applies to the slides. This is NOT written anywhere, it is just understood by the locals. There is a very valid SAFETY reason for this, and personally, I totally agree with this rule, funny as it sounds.One other thing... Everyday at 3:00 sharp... EVERYONE OUT OF THE WATER!!!That's right!!! The park shuts down for 30 minutes at 3:00 sharp!!!I guess this is the time when we are supposed to go to the concession stand and buy their food and souvenirs. In actuality, I think that the Lifeguards and other staff are having a safety meeting.ADVANTAGE of bringing your own picnic... They have in and out privileges and a small play area with covered picnic tables.
