My favorite place when my kids were young...their favorite too. Such a fun waterpark! Rolling Hills Water Park is your ticket to wet and wild summer fun! With so many attractions, we’ve got something for everyone to enjoy - Float down the lazy river, catch a wave in the wave pool, or take a trip down one of our awesome water slides!
The Activity Pool is popular with younger children due to its zero-depth entry, gentle bubbler, geysers, a waterfall and a kiddie slide for children under 45" tall. Relax in the chaise lounges and sand chairs on an extensive sun deck located throughout the water park and natural shade or shade umbrellas in several grassy areas surrounding the deck.
