Wet and Wild: 4 Family Water Parks

Growing up in the Northwest, there weren’t a lot of opportunities to go to water parks — the best we have is Wild Waves in Federal Way, which I enjoyed well enough when I was younger, but it really doesn’t compare to others across the country. If I had lived in New Braunfels or Denver or Orlando or Wisconsin Dells, you can bet I would’ve had a season pass to the parks there, which feature all the lazy rivers, uphill water coasters, speed slides, wave pools, dump buckets, and fountains a water-loving kid (and her parents) could ask for.
Want to beat the heat this summer at a cool water park? Check out my story in June’s issue of The Family Groove on four great water parks for kids.
I love water parks. I just finished a story for a water park magazine and found out Wild Waves has some new entertainment this year, including a high dive show. Should be worth a visit.
Oh, that’s definitely good to know. The weather here does make it a bit difficult to have a water park that really thrives — this is the first time I’ve been in shorts and it’s almost August!
