Sandcastle Water Park

This will be the third year that my family and I have gotten season passes to this water park. It is great. They have a fast pass where season pass holders can just fly thu. They have a lot of slides, a lazy river, two different children's pools, a go-kart track, and a wave pool. There is something for everyone. There is numerous fast food stands. They have a gift shop. They recently added some games to play. They have a arcade. There is a all you can buffet. They give a small discount for season pass holders. They also show movies in the wave pool on Thursday night. This place is great. more

My dad used to take my sisters and me here several times each year. It is so much fun and very much worth the small ticket price. There are so many water slides, great food, a large pool. We could stay all day and never get bored with it. There are gift shops and we always left with something to bring home! more

Sand castle is one of those places you can go when the weather is just too hot to do anything. They have amazing food (Boardwalk Burgers and Fries) nice pools, a great lifeguarding staff and some pretty fun slides. If you are an older teenager the rides can be pretty dull, pretty fast, but for the younger ones, you could stay all day and never think about leaving. The only con is the wave pool, its too small, very crowded and someone always seems to go under and they have to stop the waves. other then that Sandcastle is amazing! more

During the summer on weekends, Sandcastle becomes a giant bar for 21 year olds and up. Depending on the weather, many will frequent the pool and saunas, with very questionable clothing, making it a great place to have some drinks and people watch. The last couple weeks of the summer they have great specials, including 50 cent drink hours, and all-night reduced prices. They don't use top-shelf liquor, but what do you expect in Pittsburgh? more

I definitely recommend Sandcastle on some hot summer day. You'll have an absolute blast. Sandcastle has tons of water slides. It also has a lazy river so you can just relax and work on your tan. They have a pretty good deal on season passes so if you think you'll want to go back again, I'd recommend that option. If possible, try to avoid peak times (go on weekdays or late in the season) to avoid the crowds. more

Sandcastle is so much fun for all ages. From the kiddy pool to the scary water slides there is so much to do. You can find coupons or once in a while on a Pepsi can there will be discounts making it even more affordable to go with the family. more
