When I was younger I used to lifeguard for a couple years over at Buccaneer Bay in Weeki Wachee Springs. Even today as a big tourist attraction, the prices are still not as high as this lagoon and you can swim in the beautiful crystal clear spring waters, tube ride down the river, go down the big water slides and can also walk to the other side to visit the park area where you can watch the mermaid show and attend other events. As a Florida resident you can pay a one set price for the seasonal pass and can also bring your own foods and drinks. That's how it should be cause not everyone can afford prices as high as these and I'm sure they would love to see it also!😎😎😎
I think with this kind of thing being still novel, the developers are trying to maximally capitalize on it, recouping their construction costs ASAP. It's understandable, but remember, if nobody comes, they'll be forced to lower entrance fees. (Disney gets by with it because PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO PAY those prices.) Over time, I would expect entrance fees to these fake lagoon beaches to fall, as the facilities age, and as they just want to attract larger crowds (rather than discouraging large crowds with high prices).
Wow, no water being brought in, is ridiculous! Plus many people these days have children that are highly allergic to peanuts and cannot trust outside food vendors. This is a shame. This was a great unbiased review.
Nice review,,, however you may think it's expensive, but if you saw the cost of maintaining that giant pool, employees, and land taxes, you may see why the price is high.
They lost me on the can’t bring your own basic water. That should never be restricted in any capacity. I like how Disney makes sure everyone has access to free water.. and they would not stop you from bringing your own. They don’t want serious dehydration issues or heat strokes on their watch.
I f this was for everyone it would not be so bad. Everyone keeps saying that it will be sooo exclusive. Well guess who they will exclude?? Like always.
@reglook1 I'm looking at the video. If you are implying certain ethnic groups are excluded, the video evidence would disprove that notion. The only exclusion here would be those who didn't have the for the fees to use the facilities. That's not discrimination. It's simple reality. The place is in business to make money. These Crystal Lagoons (a trademarked, patented system) aren't cheep to install and maintain. In Texas these things are being built as amenity packages in new communities. A developer has several thousand acres to build homes, shops, green space, parks, schools, etc, and instead of a golf course, they build a Lagoon. It's an interesting concept. But expensive. All of these communities act as HOAs, of course.
This place looks great, But I'm not sure if me driving from my home in Orlando to pay all that money once I'm in there is worth it. Thanks for the detailed video. That's my only deal breaker I don't mind the noise and no shadow since I love the sun.
Columbia gets so hot! I lived there and on Lexington SC. Hotter there in summer than where I live in the Tampa area. It's a good idea to build them there. I don't remember if there is a water park in the area or not.
Thank you for the video! I live close to epperson and even closer to mirada. One small note...if you go after 3pm, the entry drops to $30. I thought about doing the paddleboarding because I've never done it before. I've looked into it at other places and the prices are not cheap. Also, I wouldn't want to do it in the lakes here because of gaters. Any beach is at least an hour away, so with those things in mind, it might be an option. I do find it expensive for what it is and almost rude that EVERYTHING is extra.
Yeah, I think it's definelty a great place to learn how to paddleboard. Better to fall into a chlorinated pool than a muddy lake with gators and other stuff!
I just bought tickets to take my daughter tomorrow. I got tickets for half day as I don’t want to be out in the sun all day. I was turned off by their strict water policy and no food… I’m concerned about the lack of shade by the water. You have to rent everything, it’s ridiculous!! I have a question, do they have lockers? Where would you leave your keys and phone when you go in the water??? Also, do they have showers? How clean are their restrooms??
(Oh, they are building one here in Melbourne, FL, which is supposed to encompass housing, shopping and entertainment, so I don't know if there'll be admission, given that the ocean is so close. Maybe the lagoon beach will an amenity for residents.)
That's the most common business plan in Texas. Developers with several thousand acres for homes, shops, parks, etc, will put in a Lagoon instead of a golf course. These are all HOA situations so it's considered an amenity, though I believe things like kayak rentals and such cost $$. There's a big one in Prosper, Texas in the Dallas-Ft Worth Metroplex.
Many people can't afford shit like this. It doesn't mean we're cheap...and like the wages most workers of these types of places pay...don't pay enough for the workers to afford these kinds of amenities. Most people in AZ are not wealthy. Rather than playgrounds for the well off, I'd much rather seen Glendale creating community programs that support affordable housing, living wages, and investments in education. Not tax breaks for developers.
We have natural springs, beaches, rivers and lakes within 1 to 2 hours from most of Florida but we still feel we need to pave over natural habitats to one up nature.
Great video. Very detailed. Hats off. No, you are not being lame about the food and drink. That's why I always suggest a Nascar race for families. I would love to see you do a review of that. You can bring your own food and drinks to a race and they have all kinds of fun stuff going on. Very family friendly. Keep the good work up.
The Brightwater North Fort Myers location told us that if you LIVE there, the HOA pays for this. The additional fees we were told, were for visitors only. I want to retire there!
The Mirada lagoon just opened just north of Tampa. It's the largest in the US. $40 for adults, $35 for kids, 3 and under free. I think it is too pricey but I can see the appeal to some people. It just isn't my cup of tea.
Ya they legit just opened i heard the swim up bar is way better bc at epperson the bartenders have to walk out of their back area to come over to tge swim up part and they take forever bc the inside of the bar is always busy and they forget about the swimmers lol. They told us the new one is actually connected so so its easier for them to serve the swimmers. The aquabanas at epperson is mostly in the 21 plus area which it wasnt 21 plus last year and those ones are way better then the 1 or 2 in the all age part for the same price smh . But i think if i was a resident there (my friend had family who bought a house at epperson and we used to get jn for free bc residents dont pay bc they have hoa fees lol) id love it . I looked into buying there last year and prices were less then what im seeing for sale now but still a bit much more then i can reallt afford . Its sad that since 2018 when i moved to florida i could easilu buy a nice new house for less than 200,000 now to find under 400,000 is tough smh
Hoping to check this place out soon it looks great. Prices seem reasonable to me, and not being able to bring in food makes sense. It’s the experience and something different that you’re paying for + no sharks.
My husband and I stopped by about a year ago. There were few people there and there seemed to be a mix of apathy and over the top desperate attitude by the staff we met. I agree the price it’s too high as is and the community growth is slower than I think they initially hoped, mainly due to the economy the past two years. To keep everything going positively, they should re-evaluate their price structures.
@@SunshineStateInsider not correct! I was there visiting on Monday. I’m looking for a townhouse and went there to check one out. A bit pricey, but nice ones.
Its too pricey. It should be $50 for the whole day for adults, and $25 for kids. All things included , it should be first come/first serve for the stuff they are currently charging money for like seats/umbrellas, kayaks etc. The only thing they should charge extra for is food/drinks.
Good water is becoming difficult to find in Florida. City and counties are either talking about or injecting treated water in the Florida Aquifer. Is this a good justification for using more water and what is the makeup of that water?
These Lagoons have an interesting water plan. I had concerns but looked into the company (Crystal Lagoons) that builds these things all over the world. They can use otherwise unusable water because of their systems. Water is a very precious resource for sure.
It's not that type of resort this is located in a HOA community. From what I was told when it was still in the planning process it was originally gonna be for residents only.
I just went to epperson for my daughters bday june 27th and it was 20$ an adult and 15$ per child and then u can get a splash pass for 14$ that includes one hour at the obstacle.course , 1 hour kayaking , 1 hour paddleboard, 1 bumper boat session. The waterslide and swimming was unlimited and was the only thing included in the entry fee lol . We had to bring snacks and drink bc i am diabetic as is my daughters father. They let us take in the one snack and 1 waterbottle but made my 11 yr old daughter dump her ice water . They added a water bike which was 15$ by itself where paddle boarding, kayaking, bumper boats, obstacle course was 5$ each. However i found out after the fact thay we could use our splash pass for water bike imstead of kayaking and paddle board so i think its worth the splash pass for 14$ if you want to do each thing . I paid for 5 tampons at 1$ each -well bc emergencys happen- tmi- and they have those for sale individually lol. I paid 15$ for an umbrella. The aquabana i was gonna get but they changed the cove to ages 21 plus so considering i had 6 kids in our party and 6 18 plus and only 4 21 plus i wasnt gonna pay the 250$ they wanted . I did end up calling to upgrade a child ticket to an adult ticket bc a kid couldnt come and i had a extra adult. I had bought the tickets 3 weeks prior online and they tried to tell me they could not just charge me the extra 5/10$ for the one ticket to go from child to adult. In fact they claimed they would have to cancel my original order and redo it and bc the prices went up since i bought them so i would owe 120$ more just to modify the child to adult ticket smh . So i told them nevermind ill just buy an adult ticket at the door and take the 20$ hit . Well they called back 20 mins later ( after my duaghter found a extra friend last min to go so the child ticket wasnt a loss) to say her manager went ahead and modified the ticket and i owed 10$ for that. I laughed and told them no we figured it out by finding a extra kid who wanted to come so i still needed the kid ticket and id just buy the adult ticket. The staff then said they already modified it so i needed to pay the difference now and when i arrive just buy the child ticket smh . Anyways as much as i love epperson we all got burned pretty bad even with sunblock and a umbrella lol. There is very little shade for sure . The food prices and drink prices were comparable to disney but at least disney lets u bring ur own snacks and drink. Last year i had a friend whose family owned a house in the community and they got us in for free so if i could buy a house in the community id def be going there all the time. Since its expensice to a single mom to 5 kids i will go on special occasions only. The houses arent terrible in price but im not sure how much they pay for hoa lol. But ya good video . Again maybe prices are higher at the one in the video but otherwise id say ur spot on in this review .
the water is WAIST DEEP! the F*CK! lol what kind of water experience is this.... also the lack of shade is horrendous! also you cant bring your own water?!?!? whatttttttttttttt
@@MatthewJohnsonDCThe point is you get the sort that don't respect things. The sort that trash the place. Unfortunately we, the American civilization, seem to be losing the respect for things, and each other, us older folks had drilled into us as children.
Outside food and making it cheaper will ruin the place. Unfortunately a lot and I mean a lot of trashy disgusting people will not clean up after themselves and if using the equipment becomes free they will treat it like it belongs to them and break it. Look at SeaWorld,the place is disgusting now.
Those rules are not only set by them except also the county. You can't go to a bar or restaurant & bring your own food, drink. Yes the prices are high but that also is a deterrent. Residents live in that community and spend a lot of money to do so. Like you said it's because your cheap and theirs nothing wrong with that.
If I’m spending that kind of $$$$ I’d rather just go to a Disney water park or discovery cove. I’m sorry they made u dump out water???? In fl….in summer? Pass
Ehh, interesting but not sold on it. Guess Id have to check it out live to make a fair assessment. Its expensive but then again that would probably make it homie free so it may be worth it.
Cheap!! If time. Do you prefer they bring down the cost so they can recoup their investment via volume... 12k kids in the pool, kayaks crashing into each other, etc.? At least the activities are a la carte, so you can decide what to do. (I imagine the cost to build that lagoon must be astronomical, by the way, with today's prices) . Nice review though
I visited lago mar and it is trash!!!! Too many people, it is roped off 20yds out so you can’t enjoy any swimming beyond that, the bottom is bunched up and has separated so there is pockets you step all over, it’s inorganic so it feels fake, and you can’t kitesurf or windsurf on it. Waste!!!!
Yeah, I was never a Business Major, but to your point. Actually yeah. They still let you bring food into lots of ballparks. There are vendors outside of lots of them like Wrigley Field & Nationals Park selling water and snacks to bring in. You can also bring your own food into Disney World, Universal, their waterparks, state parks, and the beach - which this place is a direct competitor of.
Looks cool, until you read the reviews, then it looks like a total ripoff .... read the Google reviews when I first heard about this place via Facebook, no way now will I go. Thanks for your take on this.

You are correct it does kind of remind me of a private island on a cruise ship.

I wonder why they made it 14 feet deep. For kayaking and paddle boarding 7 or 8 feet would be plenty.
can't bring your water ? do they want you to die from heat stroke ?
Why don’t the designers think that alligators will get in it??? Are alligators adverse to chlorinated water? Is that definite?

You need a econ 101 course. The outside food thing you are cheap about is ridiculous. Can you go to a sporting event and bring in Food. No.
Yeah, I was never a Business Major, but to your point. Actually yeah. They still let you bring food into lots of ballparks. There are vendors outside of lots of them like Wrigley Field & Nationals Park selling water and snacks to bring in. You can also bring your own food into Disney World, Universal, their waterparks, state parks, and the beach - which this place is a direct competitor of.
Looks cool, until you read the reviews, then it looks like a total ripoff .... read the Google reviews when I first heard about this place via Facebook, no way now will I go. Thanks for your take on this.
Please what do they want you to charge $20 to go in yes your are cheap lol this is a beautiful amazing get away is perfect
