Wet-O-Wild for first-timers: what to pack and what to ride

Wet-O-Wild is six landscaped acres of slides, a wave pool, a waterfall and an artificial beach, right inside Nicco Park. It comes with the Parks Package, and here is how to make your first visit a good one.

Know the timings

Wet-O-Wild opens at 11 AM and closes at 6 PM, with last entry at 5 PM. Many families do the Dry Park in the morning and move to the water after lunch.

What to pack

• Swimwear, or rent it inside
• A towel and a change of clothes
• Sunscreen for the walk between pools
• A small bag for valuables. Lockers are available to rent inside.
• Your QR ticket on your phone

Start gentle

Warm up on Crazy River with a tube and a friend, then try the Family Squirl, a raft slide the whole family can ride together. The wave pool and the rain dance are easy wins for every age.

Then go big

• Tornado Funnel: a 260-foot tunnel into a 40-foot cone, with a moment of zero gravity.
• Thunder Bowl: rafts drop from a 40-foot tower through 195 feet of tunnel into a giant bowl.
• Aqua Drop: new, with steep drops and sudden turns in a closed tube.
• Aqua Curl: new, with twists all the way down.

With little ones

Pirates Bay is the splash zone for younger children. Children under 80 cm tall enter free.

Eat between slides

Beach Café sits right by the pools and serves quick bites from 11 AM to 6 PM.
