Safety First: Heat & Hydration
Take a Break, Stay Safe!
Playing on the water park is not only a blast — it’s a full-body workout! To keep everyone safe, energized, and ensure a smooth transition between sessions, we clear the course for 15 minutes at the end of each hour. This gives our team time to inspect the inflatables and prepare for the next group.
Use this time to:
- Stay hydrated with plenty of fluids
- Refuel with a tasty bite from our on-site food truck
- Cool down and recharge for your next splash session
Your safety is our top priority, so let’s keep things fun, safe, and refreshing all day long!
