What to keep in mind when visiting a water park
The water park is a wonderful way for the whole family to have a lot of fun and take a break from the scorching summer heat. Most parks are full of rides and attractions to keep both old and young entertained. Here are a few things to keep in mind to prepare for a trip to a water park:
Check ticket prices and opening hours
If you’re visiting a water park with the family it’s worth checking ticket prices to help budget for the day. For example, if the tickets are a little expensive and you prefer not to spend much more on the day, taking a packed lunch can be the right option. Also, the time you arrive at the park can affect how busy or long the lines are for the various attractions. The parks will usually be much quieter at the beginning of the day. Also, at that time the sun will not be so strong.
Pack your supplies
Supplies for a day at the water park will likely include things like a bathing suit, change of clothes, water socks, a lock for your locker, goggles, a towel or two, lip balm, and sunscreen if you’re outside. A swim cap can be beneficial for those with long hair. For less confident or young swimmers, it is useful to include a life preserver.
Also, wearing a bathing suit under your regular clothes will help speed up the process of getting ready once you arrive at the park.
Invest in express cards
Many parks offer the option of purchasing an express ticket, which is a great way to get on a select attraction or ride much faster by skipping the long lines.
Plan your park tour
It helps to plan your park tour to get on the popular attractions at the best time. For example, it may be beneficial to wait until off-peak hours before lining up for the best rides. During busy times, it can be beneficial to visit an attraction that is open to visitors and does not rely on waiting in line, such as a wave pool.
Check the height and age restrictions
For families with small children, it’s worth checking if there are any height restrictions before queuing. Rules and regulations may vary from attraction to attraction, so it is necessary to check this as you tour the park.
