Aside from a standard pool and a kiddie pool, there’s also a wave pool, which can generate up to eight different wave patterns. Grab an inner tube and get ready to ride waves up to 6’ high!

One of the best parts about the park is the fact that it includes a campground, so you don’t have to head all the way home after a day of fun in the sun.
