Island H2O Water Park: Rides and Attractions

Island H2O Water Park offers something for every member of the family, from tiny tykes to teens. Older kids and teens can take on the park’s high-energy slides, starting with Reply Racers, a six-lane mat racing slide perfect for friendly competition (42” minimum height). The Downloader twists and turns into a giant sphere before shooting riders back out, while Reload Rapids is a fully enclosed tube slide with tight turns and unexpected drops (both 48” minimum height). For those looking for a longer ride, Profile Plunge boasts sweeping curves and a splashy finish, and Hashtag Heights offers a steep “boomerang” wall that gives riders a moment of weightlessness (both 42” minimum height). Additional high thrill options include Follow Me Falls, a coaster-like slide with vertical climbs and drops, Live Streaming, a body slide with a trapdoor start and looping plunge, and Drop Down, another trapdoor slide (all 48” minimum height).

Reply Racers offers the thrill of a steep slide with the competition of racing others!

Families looking for group fun or something a little less intense can enjoy Level Up, a sports-themed water play area where kids can leap across floating lily pads and shoot basketballs in the pool. The Chat Creek Lazy River is perfect for floating together, while the Live! Lagoon Wave Pool provides waves and acts as a hub for seasonal events and evening activities. For adults seeking a quieter experience, the Private Domain Pool, exclusively for ages 21 and up, offers a more secluded swimming area with lounge seating and shaded spots to relax.

Pelican’s Paradise is a tropical-themed splash playground with mini slides, sprayers, and a giant tipping bucket. Nearby, Candy Stripe Cove offers six small slides in shallow water, with colorful décor and shaded seating, making it the perfect spot for toddlers and early elementary-age kids to play safely.

Island H2O Water Park: Food and Dining

There are several on-site dining options for families. Megabytes serves classic favorites like burgers, chicken tenders, and fries, while App & Eats offers grab-and-go snacks for quick refueling. Tag Shack provides refreshing drinks and treats throughout the day. Note: No outside food or drinks allowed (exceptions for babies, allergies, and medical needs).

Within walking distance of the park, the Promenade at Sunset Walk has a wide variety of dining options, from quick bites to sit-down restaurants, making it easy to refuel after a day of splashing around.

Families and groups can ride together on the exciting Profile Plunge ride.
