Unlike most water parks, Geyser Falls has a generous assortment of restaurants and in-park dining options. The Beach Club is a full-service restaurant with pub fare, a bar, and live entertainment. Two additional cafes have more traditional park-style fast food, but offer a wide range of choices.

Probably because it is part of the Pearl River Resort, Geyser Falls is a unique water park. It devotes a fair amount of attention to themeing, including the namesake geysers that spout near the front of the park. In addition to the usual assortment of slides and water attractions, the park offers Clearwater Key, a lush eight-acre oasis of sandy beaches. It also includes a full-service restaurant with live bands. Occasionally, Geyser Falls even features national acts performing on its outdoor stage.

Among its collection of water slides is Backsplash, an intriguing half-pipe ride that sends riders in two-passenger tubes shooting down a U-shaped track and up into an rush of water that sends the tubes careening backwards. Other attractions include Thunder Lake, a wave pool, and Mt. Everwet, a trio of speed slides built into the natural terrain of a 60-foot hill.

The Pearl River Resort includes three casinos as well as hotels, golf courses, a performance theater, restaurants, a spa, and other amenities.
