Description: Forty scenic acres of water attractions, adjacent to American Adventures, make for a wild day of fun. You’ll find more than 50 rides, from body flumes and a wave pool to a lazy river full of inner tubes that are designed to keep you cool. Relax in the Little Hooch River, or enjoy thrills and spills sluicing down the Bermuda Triangle and Black River Falls. The truly brave will be challenged by Runaway River, which is a fast-moving, enclosed raft ride, and Cliffhanger, a 90-foot water free fall. Tree House Island offers four stories of wet fun for kiddies, including Little Squirt’s Island and Captain Kid’s Cove. With five restaurants on the premises, guests aren’t allowed to bring their own food into the park, but there are picnic tables just outside the main entrance. No thong or G-string bathing suits or street clothes are allowed either. Shower and locker facilities are available. The park is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Memorial Day through the first weekend in September. Hours are shorter on weekends during the early spring and late fall. General admission is $36.99 plus tax. Kids under 48 inches tall enter for $26.99. Parking is $10.
