Description: Forty scenic acres of water attractions, adjacent to American Adventures, make for a wild day of fun. You’ll find more than 40 rides—body flumes, a wave pool, a lazy river, and more—from the relaxing to the shriek provoking. Laze in the Little Hooch River, or enjoy thrills and spills sluicing down the Bermuda Triangle and Black River Falls. Tree House Island offers four stories of fun-filled activities, and Little Squirt’s Island and Captain Kid’s Cove let younger kids play safely with their peers. With five restaurants on the premises, guests aren’t allowed to bring their own food, but there are plenty of 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 early spring and late fall weekends.
