What are your summer plans? Chances are, they include a water park or two. Fortunately, Ohio is home to several impressive water parks. All you have to do is take your pick. There’s one water park in Port Clinton, however, that’s unlike any other. The Watering Hole, also known as Monsoon Lagoon Waterpark, is both a safari and water park, making it the perfect place to take the whole family.

Check it out:

Tucked away in Port Clinton, you’ll find a little-known water park called The Watering Hole—which isn’t exactly your average local watering hole.

Monsoon Lagoon Waterpark/Facebook It’s located at 1530 S Danbury Rd., Port Clinton, OH 43452.

All the classic water park attractions are featured here, including multiple large water slides for thrill seekers…

…and a lazy river you can leisurely float down.

Monsoon Lagoon Waterpark/Facebook Tickets for just the water park portion of The Watering Hole are $25.

The Watering Hole also features a large snack bar with plenty of seating where you can grab lunch.

There’s even a swim up tiki bar in the adult’s-only area. (Because kids aren’t the only ones having fun here.)

And if you really want to splurge, you can rent a private cabana for the day.

After you’ve dried off, (or before you dive in), there are go-karts, bumper boats, mini golf and other family fun activities on site you’ll want to check out.

Monsoon Lagoon Waterpark/Facebook Please note: The go-kart race track closes at approximately 2 p.m. - 3 p.m. for a required refueling and safety check.

But what really makes this water park stand out is the fact that it’s attached to a zoo.

Monsoon Lagoon Waterpark/Facebook You can buy tickets for just the zoo ($12 at the door or $9 online), or you can purchase a Mega Ticket for $35, which includes admission to all parts of the park.

Be sure to visit the giraffes, zebras, kangaroos and more before heading home.
