Clementon Park & Splash World

This was my first time going to this Clementon Park & Splash World. I mean it kinda cool but the wodden rollercoster was awsome but when I got on the wooden rollercoster, my glasses alomost slip off! The train was fun I mean I’ve see some animals that’s made of art Lol. The ferris wheel was fun also, we didn’t get the chance to eat there because we didn’t have no time to get something to eat there at the park.

My first time back to this park in 15 – 20 years. In my 30’s now. Here’s my review:
Pro’s:
Splash world was an absolute blast, I didn’t expect it to be as fun as it was. The wave pool can get wild (in a good way) as people anticipate for the waves to come. A loud buzzer will go off, warning everyone that the waves are coming, and the people and kids yell in excitement. That was pretty cool.
The most extreme ride at splash world is Torpedo Rush. You basically stand in a tube, and a «3−2−1» countdown is heard on a speaker, and then the floor beneath you completely goes away, and you drop 60 feet. THAT WAS AWESOME!!!
Next, would be the vertical limit racer. You basically race your friends or family to the bottom on a boogy board type device. We must have done that 10x in a row. So if you have friends or family that are competitive, this is your ride.
Last, the best «family» ride was Sky River Rapids. 4 – 6 people go in a large tube, and go down a curvy slide of sorts. The downfall is it can be quite a wait to get on. Not because of the lines of people, which there were very few, but the time it takes for the tubes to go from the bottom of the drop, to the top, can take a bit of time (they go on an escalator or sorts. Speed those things up!).
They have a variety of lockers to put your stuff in, that range from $ 7 for a small, to I believe $ 20 – 25 (which is a bit excessive) for the largest. We got a small, and we’re able to fit 3 pairs of shoes, 2 towels, and a small bag with phones/​wallets in there. Perfect. The bulkier stuff, we had one in our group run that to the car, which took all but 5 minutes, to save 20 bucks. Worth it.
Cons:
So when I was a kid, they had cool rides like bumper cars and such, yet, they took them away? That was a bit discouraging to find out, yet, the roller coaster, Hell Cat, was up and running. The one person I was with really wanted to ride it, and so, I bit the bullet, knowing this ride’s history, and rode it. This ride needs to be shut down, and is the reason I gave this review 4 stars rather than 5. It is OLD beyond OLD. Wooden coaster should be enough to know that it’s time to get with the times. If you ride it, you will feel like your head is going to be unattached from your neck. What it does to your body on those turns (not the initial drop, which was perfectly fine) is not meant to happen to ones body. I got off it, and needed some time to recoup, before riding the next ride. So please Clementon Park, shut this coaster down, and replace it with something more modern.
The food/​drinks are pricey. We paid 22 bucks for a pepperoni pizza pie, but it didn’t come to a surprise. That’s what you can expect to pay at any park/​sporting event you go to. Honestly, you can just leave the park, grab a bite somewhere, and come back (3 miles down the road there are TONS of food places), or leave stuff in a cooler in your car. Not that big a deal.
Parking: $ 10
Another thing, which I’m sure you’re all aware about, is that incident at the park where the ghetto people of New Jersey came together at a private event, fights broke out, disgusting twerking was going on, and after watching the video, you ruled the park out. Let me rephrase, it was a PRIVATE event. The park was closed to the rest of the public. This is NOT how Clementon Park functions. It was just a bad day, with bad ghetto people, that Clementon Park held host to. It was not the Park’s fault, and they stated how they will no longer host that particular group ever again. So before you judge what you saw on youtube, read the actual story behind it.
I’m not going to end this review on a negative. Fact of the matter is, this park was a blast. My only regret is leaving Splash World early for the park. Honestly, you only need 60 – 90 minutes in the park, after that, its rather boring. Splash World I could have done from open to close, SO MUCH more to do on that side of the park. We went during the week, practically no waiting, and after 4, the price is decreased substantially to enter the park.
Sure, Six flags is going to have «better» rides, but you’ll also get on 3 rides in 10 hours, unless you buy flash passes, which requires deep wallets. Ya, Ill pass. Clementon Park gave me my fill, and more. Good times!

I love that this historic park is so close. The prices are fair and if you stop in the Dollar General in the shopping center next door, you can grab a $ 10 off coupon. Arrive after 4 pm for discount pricing too.
We went one Saturday morning and my girlfriend’s son. It was his first time at an amusement park and he we deathly afraid of EVERYTHING. We were so sad to leave 30 minutes after entering the park. The management gave us tickets to come back, which was really nice.
On the second time around, we did just about every ride… well I did the «suicide slide» in the water park and the roller coaster on my own. Both were awesome and a heart pumping thrill. Behind the park is a beautiful lake. The slide is in the water park. Walk up about 4 stories of stairs and they lock you in a cylinder. The countdown goes…3…2…1 and the door opens from under you and down you freefall! It’s so scary, but a great thrill! The roller coaster is a wooden old fashioned rail that rocks you all over the face with steep drops and slick turns. I think it is one of the best wooden coasters I’ve been on.
Don’t believe all the negative news you hear about this place. Support your local business and have a great time with your family. Keep this park alive and thriving!

It was me, my friend and our 2…5 year old sons. This was my first time at Clementon Park. The boys had a Blast at the pirate splash park. And I gotta say the life guard staff was spot on. We didn’t really go on any of the dry rides. Didn’t look very safe to me. And the Bathroom and dressing area was smelly and not clean at all. And no bathroom attendant. Where one was needed desperately. When we went to go park the lot was full… so they sent sent us across the street, where we had to walk across a busy highway to get to the park. On our way back. I felt like frogger. Dodging traffic to get to my truck. As we got into the parking lot… heard one of the busses smacking into a parked car. The owner of the car was rightfully furious. So be very careful parking there!

This place needs to make sure they advertise for kids because that’s what its for. Only 1 or two rides where an adult would have a good time.
The good: Variety of rides, fast ones, slow ones. A good size park where you can ride very single ride in one day and repeat your favorites. The 3 pools are probably the best thing in there, parents can just sit back sun tan or sit in the water and let the kiddos run around. Rides are safe (except the wooden coaster, simply put: stay away), staff is extremely friendly. They pretty much let the kids have as much fun as they can but if someone gets out of line then they escort him out. I saw this happen in one ride, the kid was jumping during the slide. Also season pass prices are cheap as long as you take advantage of them and go at least 3 – 4 times. They even have some dry rides for little ones. My 1 year old had a blast! Bathrooms were clean. Season passes comes with coupon book with a few free things like tickets to ballparks. Also comes with a .99 cent refill bottle.
The bad: Maintenance could be better. I work in maintenance so my eye goes straight for it. I really hope management sees this part of the review. Season pass registration room is a very small room with like 40 people inside. Doors always opening and closing and the room has a window air conditioner unit which was doing nothing. I took it upon myself to pop the filter out and behold there was like 2 pounds of dirt on the filter. NEVER BEEN CLEANED BEFORE. I mean come on maintenance!!! I cleaned it with my own hands and banged it on the floor under a table. The a/​c was much colder after that and the air was safe for my kids to breath. The black tube water ride looks like its never been cleaned on the outside. Some features of certain rides were not working correctly. A few other minor things I can’t remember right now.
We were unable to take in food for my 1 yr old. He can eat a variety of foods but on a day of running around and burning energy I want him to eat something healthy not a pizza.
Overall: We have a great time every time we go, I recommend it to everyone and bring my family along when we go.

This year we got the season pass to Clementon park for the first time and it was the first time we actually been to the park. Usually we go to Dorney Park but its quite a ride. My kids had fun and that was a plus. The park is pretty clean and I was impressed with the bathrooms compare to other parks. I recommend to get the season pass because they give you a book of coupons to be used in the park and you get a souvenir bottle that you can refill for .99 cents.
The main thing that bother me was nothing healthy to eat either you have to buy their disgusting food or go out of the park to the picnic area and bring your own food. The pizza was the only meal that was decent. On top the security check your bags for food!!! Not weapons, Food!!! Ridiculous. I had a couple of fruit snack bags in my purse for my toddlers to snack and they took it out and told me to take it back to the car. For real FRUIT SNACKS. This was a major let down. Too uptight! I bet if I had a knife they wouldn’t had notice cause they where too busy looking for food.
Pros — affordable, very clean bathrooms, not so packed Monday thru Thursday
Cons — Food is terrible, lots of ghetto people, you can’t bring snacks.
Overall is not bad for the price and for a very hot day, if you don’t mind the ghetto people and the security guards checking your bags for food then your good to go. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays way too crowded for me, the days that I enjoyed it the most where Monday thru Thursday.

Ghetto Great Adventure. Although it is kept clean I was shocked at how small the amusement park section really is. I didn’t keep an exact count but there couldn’t have been more than 10 total rides. The water park section is much bigger and is pretty nice I guess considering, Thank god our first visit was on appreciation day so we got in for $ 9.99 instead of $ 39.99. If I paid $ 40 to get in this place I would have been seriously pissed. As for the clientele, all I can say is that must accept EBT at this place.

I’ve waited to write this — figured for something like a local amusement park deserved a season’s pass before reviewing.
First off, I will not be getting passes again next year.
The best part of this park is the Wave Pool — and that lacks sufficient seating and places to «camp» to make it enjoyable. The Prices as a whole are as high, if not higher than the «big parks». The total cost of an afternoon here makes me question why I just don’t ‘make a trip of it’ and do the larger parks.
The park is generally «run down». I see they try to maintain but the park just isn’t designed for, nor staffed to deal with the crowds.
Lines in the water park are LONG, every time I’ve gone. Especially on any of the «family friendly» things — with no crowd control.
And they have the WORST Roller Coaster I’ve encountered in the country. Yes, they have a sign that warns that it is «aggressive». That is not the correct word — it is VIOLENT. Something should have warned us when the wait was only 15 minutes, and no one getting off was smiling, or laughing or anything.
I’ve never been on a wood/​hybrid coaster that shook, twisted and banged riders as much as this one. Their restraint system does nothing for the upper body, and riders slam their heads and arms into one another. Most everyone I’ve talked to has said — I will never go on that coaster again. For such a large investment of space and resources, I really don’t understand it.
If we do season passes again to a smaller «local» park, we’ll be looking at Dorney I believe. Even with this so close to the relative’s place.

Saturday was our first visit to Clementon Park & Splash World. I chose to visit this park because I had a groupon that was 50% off the regular ticket price. Bottomline I will not be returning nor would I recommend this to a friend. It was not terrible and my son still had a great time but there were things that I did not agree with that will keep us from returning.
First, everyone must pay admission. And I mean EVERYONE. It says it right on their website that even «non riders» must pay. They do have a reduced rate for children under 48″ but I think its still too much. I think that the 50% off rate that I paid with the Groupon is still a bit much for my 18 month old. I think that there should be a greatly reduced rate for children under 4. There is only so much they can do! They’re little!
Second, they have a no outside food or drink policy. I understand this, however I think that acceptions should me made for small children. While my son is able to eat pretty much any foods, I don’t want him eating the greasy foods that are served in an amusement park. We did pack a picnic lunch and went out to the car to eat. We had planned to picnic at the tables that the park provides but the bees were so bad that we ended up eating in the car. Also we attempted to bring in a reusable waterbottle to the park but were told we had to pour out the water before we could enter. Not that big of a deal but I didn’t see one water fountain while I was there to re-​fill our water bottles.
Third, the «clientel» that was at this park was a bit rude. Going through security at the gate to get bags checked was completely disorganized and choas. People were pushing and cutting in front of other people. The employees act oblivious and let it happen.
Fourth, once you are in the park it appears to be cash only yet no where is that posted (that I saw). So after waiting in line to purchase a locker, we were told it is cash only. We had to get out of line, walk to the ATM (which charges a typical $ 3 fee by the way) to get cash so that we could get back in line (which had doubled in length while we were gone).
Fifth, While getting in and out of the lazy river there is a step down that will catch you off guard. My SIL and I both nearly fell getting in and out because there is nothing to alert you of this. There is some black tile on the step but it just looks like a design on the bottom, it’s not enough to alert you of the step.
Sixth, It claims to be a smoke free environment yet there are large smoking areas in the park that are right next to areas that you need to walk past/​through to get to other areas.
Seventh, it is a family friendly envornment yet that have a bar that serves alcohol? This just seemed a little odd to me.
Like I said above, my son still had a great time so it wasn’t a complete waste of trip but because of the above mentioned items, we will not return here.

I recently attended a family reunion in the Deptford, NJ area and as our family activity we went to Clementon Park. This was my first time to the park and it wasn’t anything spectacular. I’m originally from Florida so I’m use to attending theme/​water parks like Busch Gardens, Islands of Adventures, the Disney World parks, Wet n’ Wild, and Wild Waters so I was kinda disappointed.
I didn’t do the water rides so I can’t speak of that side of the park, but the amusement park section had like five rides. I went on all five and was done in almost 45 minutes. The positive was that the lines were short so getting on the rides didn’t take long at all. For a small park they had a good couple of thrill rides. The Sea Dragon was my favorite.
The best part of the park were the group accommodations. There is a big section of pavilions for groups and the park allows patrons to bring in outside food. People brought in their grills and were cooking out inside the park. Not to mention, as part of the group package you are provided a wristband that allows you to eat hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken, potato salad, baked beans, and drink as much as you want. Not sure how much the group prices are or how many you need, but this seems like a good deal!
Overall, if you live in the area and just want to get out of the house Clementon would be a decent and reasonable family outing.

Clementon park is just okay, rides were okay… food is horrible and they were out of a lot of menu items… no cheesesteaks at tiki bar, 3 stands we visited were out of souvenir cups… funnel cake place ran out of toppings… like seriously? Myself and the people I was with felt we were getting second hand service due to all the out of stocks… employees are not polite and are totally un engaged. They all acted like they would rather die than be at work.

Yesterday, my friends and I had a great time at Clementon Park. Two people had season passes and we used coupons for everyone else – so it only cost $ 10 for admission and $ 10 for parking. We got there at 11 and got awesome parking close to the entrance. We did Splash World first, which was better than I remember it from previous visits. There aren’t that many attractions (nor are there many in the park), but they were a lot of fun! I would recommend piling as many people as you can into the raft in the big white slide (the name escapes me) – prepare to get wet! The Black Viper was OK, but it seemed a little short. The most terrifying ride all day, to me, was the one toward the back of the park with the two chutes, one green and one blue, that send you free-​falling down an almost vertical drop and then ripping through the pool. All the other rides in the water park were OK for little kids who meet the height requirement. They were all very clean and a lot of fun. The wave pool was nice, but they kept stopping the waves for whatever reason while we were in it which was disappointing.
After we toweled off and got changed, we went into the amusement park. It was around 3pm and starting to get crowded, but honestly I don’t think we waited in a line all day. Doing the water park early was a good idea, considering that that was where everyone was headed as soon as they entered. The Ring of Fire had to be my favorite ride – we did it several times in a row! The free fall ride was not scary and was a very small drop. My friend’s 5-​year-​old brother went on it twice and didn’t bat an eye. The log flume was also good for kids as it isn’t steep at all, but you still get wet and it’s a fun ride. Now, I was not a fan of Hellcat. It’s not that the ride is scary, it’s that it is painful. The entire ride, I felt as though my neck was about to snap in half! It wouldn’t been fun had it been a smoother ride as it’s an awesome track, but it’s not for me. Wooden coaster enthusiasts, however, should check this one out. Their iteration of the swinging pirate ship was actually more exciting than I expected – sitting on the ends generates a formidable thrill! All in all, Clementon Park makes for a family-​friendly day trip. All of the rides are pretty kid-​friendly and none come close to anything you’d find at Six Flags. It is a small park with only about 10 or so rides plus about 5 – 8 in the water park, but that does not mean that you can’t make some great memories there. Food is comparatively cheap as well, so this trip can be done on a budget. Look out for discounts in local eateries as well. For a fun day with small children that’s easy in the wallet, I’d definitely recommend Clementon park.

I have not been on a water park in years and coming here was like a breath of fresh air compared to more popular crowded parks like Six Flags Hurricane Harbor and Mountain Creek/​Action Park. This is a great place to visit if you’re in the area and you’re looking to entertain yourself and have fun with a group without breaking the bank. It’s also ideal for families because the park is not big at all so it’s not overwhelming and there are things to do if you have a 5 year old or a 15 year old. If you buy your ticket online, admission is around $ 30 (if you buy the tickets online, which you should do because it’s cheaper & it saves you some time when you get into the park) and you can also buy a parking pass online too. Parking at the park is $ 10 and is cash only.
Highlights/​Tips:
— The lockers are located behind the wave pool and a large locker is enough for a medium sized backpack and then some. Renting a large locker will cost you $ 20 and you’ll get $ 5 back upon return of the key.
— You can’t bring food into the park but they do have picnic tables next to the park where you can eat outside food. The food prices here are pretty cheap, so you don’t have to worry about paying $ 20 for a burger and fries. Most of the combos were around $ 8. And if you buy their reusable bottle $ 9.99, you can get refills all day for $.99 (for soda).
— They have a tiki bar for adults and mixed drinks cost $ 7. The bartender made really good drinks and was extremely precise with his pour. They don’t have a big selection in terms of cocktails and they also have a few beer options as well. I noticed that they had Bud Light.
— The lazy river is really for lazy people and I mean that in the best way possible because it’s so relaxing and it never got crowded.
— For those who smoke, they do have designated places to light up.
— I haven’t tried these foods but they sell Fried Cinnamon Buns (I seriously don’t know why I didn’t try this because it sounds amazing) and funnel cakes. The funnel cakes look like fluffy cakes, not like the regular thin cake kind, and they were pretty popular.

Clementon can’t be compared to any other local park; it has to be reviewed alone because it’ll lose every time. It will never be Six Flags, Dorney, Hershey or heck, Dutch Wonderland, for that matter. Located in an «I’ve seen better days» neighborhood, people drive, walk and catch NJ Transit to the park. We like it because of its small water park. It’s good enough for my 10 year old to spend a day for a great price since he’s still in that «I can spend 45 minutes in the wave pool» stage. I normally buy one season pass for about $ 50 then use the free friend coupons throughout the summer. The coupon book also has game, food and Camden Riversharks coupons, which I tend to forget about. Visits are great when we need something to do and the pass pays for itself. Parking is $ 10 but if you really want to be cheap, I’ve seen people parking offsite (I don’t think I can live on the edge and try that though, ever ever ever). The restrooms haven’t been bad each time I’ve used them and the changing rooms are clean. Overall, Clementon is a small, family park. Occasionally the né’er-do-wells find their way in, but that crowd finds its way into all parks. Clementon isn’t upscale or particularly special but it’s A-​OK; it’s that C list friend you hit up when all of the A and B list friends have plans already.

I loved going here as a kid and I am glad to see that Clementon Park and Splash World are still operational. This place is a great small amusement park. Modestly priced, but for a good reason. Don’t go in expecting Superman or Epcot. Splash World is great during the summer though!
«Fun, fun, at Clementon Park. Its double fun, at Splash World, too.
We’re having fun at Clementon Park!»

Random in the middle of a residential neighborhood.
Its nice enough for an afternoon with the kids or teen date night but def not worth the 40 bucks to get in! Which I didt pay mind you.
Half the games were closed… The water rides were cute but not considered a thrill ride. The wave pool is nice with plenty of shaded seating.
Great for family time…

took the grandkids yesterday-​what a great place, very clean, not crowded, friendly. not real «high tech“but just enough for us. food is good-​not as pricey as most parks, restrooms clean, not a lot of junk to buy, one tiny little store .lots of chairs large umbrellas for shade. just an all around nice place to spend the day. if you haveAAA u can get a great discount at the aaa store…

the park now has a big wave pool and torpedo rush. Im excited went there 4 times already got season passes. The big wave pool goes up to 6 foot and when it waves its about 7 the deepest part.
Only new problem I found about the wave pool is that everyone is trying to ‘swim’ in the pool… which means you might get kicked or splashed in the deeper parts. A wave pool is so when the waves come you can bounce in the water not swim… I think anyway.
But it is a relief because the Lazy river is not a ‘pool’ so this is good. I love this place now. And with new special events it’s a good close by place to have fun. The staff is very friendly and I see alot of repeat employee’s too! been going there for 3 + years now.

Looking for a more local south Jersey alternative to Six Flags? This place is it. A water park and regular amusement park rides as well for a decent price. The HellKat coaster in the back of the park will shake you up pretty good. This park has mostly rides for small kids… and the water park portion is pretty decent in size. Clementon Park is close to the Philly bridges. It doesn’t have a ton of rides like Six Flags but it is a good choice for a day with the kids.

I had always heard bad stuff about Clementon, but after going (for $ 10.00) on a coupon I might add) I was highly impressed.
This is a nice little park, that probably takes a half a day to do everything.
I wouldn’t want to be there when it’s crowded, but I went on an overcast drizzly day, and there were only a few hundred people in the park.
No lines, you could stay on the rides for several times if you wanted, and the waterpark portion was pretty empty.
Definitely worth a visit, if you have small kids.
Take a lunch, and save a few more bucks. Coolers are allowed in the dry portion of the park, but off limits in the water park.
It could use a few more restrooms, but that was my only complaint.
