Best Water Parks Information
Typhoon Lagoon - Dive into an exotic, tropical paradise where families can escape to high waves of excitement and cool, relaxing fun. The fun takes place at the foot of Mt. Mayday. Body surf in an over 10,000-cubic-metre (2.75-million-gallon) wave pool. Zip down awesome body slides. Feeling brave? You can even swim with real, live sharks!
Schlitterbahn Waterpark - With over 3 miles of tubing adventures, 7 children’s water playgrounds,17 water slides, the world’s first surfing machine, and 3 uphill water coasters, Schlitterbahn has plenty to please everyone in the family!
Disney's Blizzard Beach - Florida sun meets alpine snow in the coolest Water Park around. Legend has it that a freak snowstorm resulted in Florida's first ski resort, but when temperatures rose, the Florida sun turned the ski runs into water slides. Now, the thrills peak high atop some of the highest slides on earth.
Wet 'n Wild - The largest water park in both the Carolinas is the place to cool off, get sun and have fun. With over 34 rides and attractions, there's something for everyone…from mild to wild…from tots to seniors. It's family friendly and the young kids (and mom and dad, too) will have a great time in Splash Island and Happy Harbor, our two large children's areas. When you're ready to kick back and relax after enjoying the over 3 million gallons of water fun, Wet ‘n Wild Emerald Pointe offers an abundance of lounge chairs and shaded areas.
Raging Waters - Northern California 's Largest Waterpark, whatever that means. RW has over twenty three acres of fun and zillions of gallons of H20. Like them all, Raging Waters features high-speed slides, and huge Wave Pools. Raging Waters is close to beautiful Lake Cunningham Regional Park in San Jose and is easily accessible from major highways.
Noah's Ark - Claiming to be the largest water park in the US is a monumental claim...but Noah's Ark Waterpark may have the title clinched. A short drive from Milwaukee, Madison, Chicago or Hustisford,WI will put you right in the way of coolness. Some of their signatures area the Black Anaconda which is so long you may pass out from fear. Six amazingly scary speed slides. Great, fast drops and double slides make this a park not to be missed.
SplashTown Waterpark - is 20 landscaped acres of cool, clean water excitement just three minutes North of downtown on IH-35 at the Splashtown exit! San Antonio's family waterpark has something fun for every age. The incredible Kid's Kove is an extensive Kiddie Area featuring scaled-down rides, slides and attractions just for our youngest guests. Splashtown offers more than 50 rides and attractions including the Siesta Del Rio, a relaxing river ride plus the largest Wave Pool in South Texas. Splashtown proudly presents the seven story Lone Star Luge. This exciting ride will send you twisting and sliding the length of two football fields. And don't forget Starflight, a soaring double-tube trip through total darkness for a state of the art thrill!
Water Country - Thrill seekers are challenged by the breaking waves and speed slides. But, you can relax in the sanctuary of Adventure River, our swimming pools, and shady lounge areas. Bring family and friends together on the five person raft rides and slide together on four other speed slides or get dumped on together at the Tahiti Tree house.
WATER WORLD - is one of America's largest family waterparks, is located just 15 minutes north of downtown Denver, Colorado, on 64 beautifully landscaped acres. Water World is celebrating it's 26th year of operation. The park features the biggest variety of attractions (42) in America, from Wally World for the tots, to Voyage to the Center of the Earth for the entire family. Water World has more family tube rides than any other park in America. Thrill rides are in abundance also, like the Red Line speed slide. Plenty of picnic areas are available, from covered pavilions to beautifully landscaped grass areas.
White Water - Awaiting thrill seekers this season is the park’s newest and most popular attraction, Tornado. Groups of riders can again challenge this amazing storm of a ride that begins its twists and turns from a platform 75 feet in the air. Daring riders travel down a 132-foot long tunnel splashing back and forth on 5,000 gallons of swirling and swishing water.
I've been to Noah's Ark but not to any of the others. Noah's Ark Water Park is an absolute blast and the speed slides are not to be missed.
