Insider Tips & FAQ

• The park is CASHLESS in all locations. Cash is accepted at Admissions, Guest Services, Paul Bunyan Gift Shop, Candy Store, and the Woodcenter Gift Shop.
• Start by riding the balloon ride (SKYRIDE) just inside the front gate. It gives you a great view of the layout of the park.
• Save the rides or petting zoo until the end, otherwise you’ll never get your kids out of the water.
• The kiddie area is adorable! You really can bring small children.
• Guests should consider a locker for their valuables (especially cell phones/cameras). The water safes that are sold in the gift shops work really great for a lot of people who splash around in the Wave Pool/Lazy River, etc., but if you really want to enjoy all the water slides, a locker rental is the safest bet for those expensive items.
• Don’t miss the free circus show! My kids loved it!
• Waterproof plastic holder for cash & other small valuables.
• Don’t wear your sunglasses on the slides!
• Even if it’s raining, stay in the park. It’s still a BLAST and 9 out of 10 times the rain passes.
• There are lawn chairs by the top deck of the wave pool.

• Go in June. The lines aren’t as long, but it’s well worth the wait anytime of the season.
• Consider renting a tube for the day, for a small fee. By doing this, you can bypass the line at the bottom of the ride to get a tube and head directly to the top. What’s even better, there’s a $1 refund for returning your tube!
• Buy your tickets online or at a local establishment that sells them so you can save money & go through the faster admission line!

• Take advantage of the Siesta Savings, enter the park after 3pm (2pm on days the park closes at 5:30pm) and get the next day free. It’s a great way to enjoy the park for some extra time, especially when staying overnight!

• Don’t forget the candy shop – it’s epic!
• Buy your soft ice cream cone early in the day, because everyone else waits until right before they leave!
• When attending a catered event, go to the pavilions early to get your wristband to avoid long lines at serving time.
