Awesome Water Fun for the Whole Family!
Splash Zone is packed with kid-friendly activities that occupy our family all day long:
- Four Kid Slides: Zoom down one of the four exciting kid-sized slides designed just for younger splashers. They’re colorful, twisty, and just the right size for tons of fun!
- Rainforest Play Structure: Climb through water-spraying bridges, dunk under a giant tipping bucket, and slide into the splash pool—it’s a jungle of water fun!
- Lazy River: Float and relax in the gentle 500-foot river. Watch out for sprayers and waterfalls!
- Two Big Water Slides: Feeling brave? Try the 200-foot open or tube slides! (You must be at least 42 inches tall to ride.)
- Leisure Pool: A calm area where kids and parents can swim or splash around together.
