Many thanks to Splish Splash Waterpark for providing complimentary tickets. As always, all opinions expressed are my own.
June has been a busy month for my family. School is over, both of my nieces celebrated birthdays, and my nephew is going to kindergarten in the fall. We love waterparks so to wrap all the celebrations in one fun-filled day, we took a day trip to Splish Splash Waterpark last weekend. Below are our favorite Splish Splash water park rides for the day.
The Battle of Mutiny Bay
My personal favorite was The Battle of Mutiny Bay. It is an interactive ride for people in AND outside the boats. We were able to take a ride in a boat and have a water fight from the cannons with guests in other boats or outside of the bay. There are no age restrictions, but there are only 4 people allowed in each boat. We split up, but Nieceypoo got in and enjoyed the ride with my sister.
Kiddie Cove
The majority of our time was spent in Kiddie Cove. We attempted to have Nieceypoo swing on the tentacles in Octopus pool, but she wasn’t having it at all. Meanwhile, Bootsie boo and the boys had a blast using the kiddie slides together and individually. We eventually found our way into Monsoon Lagoon and the Yellow Submarine where Nieceypoo found some courage to use the water slide. It was only once, but it was something.


Dr. Von Dark’s Tunnel of Terror
I initially thought my youngest nephew wasn’t tall enough, but we were all able to get into Dr. Von Dark’s Tunnel of Terror. We plunged through a 40 ft tunnel via tube in complete darkness in one ride. The kids loved it so much, they went twice.


Lazy River
No matter what water park we go to, the lazy river is usually a must for me. I sat out due to my oldest nephew being done with rides, but we were able to catch the rest of the family as they relaxed in the tubes.
We all had an overall great time. My oldest nephew isn’t too fond of theme parks, but he even said he had fun. Splish Splash is located in Calverton, NY about 60 miles east of NYC. It took us about an hour and a half to two hours to get there via car. Ticket pricing is based on height and day that you attend; guests under 48″ and over 60 years old receive tickets at a cheaper price. If needed, the park offers locker and life jacket rentals and accepts all major credit cards for admission, food, and drinks. If you visit during a busy day, it’s recommended to get the H2Go Pass available for popular Splish Splash rides. For more information, visit them on their official site.

This post makes me want to get to a waterpark. I haven’t been to one in ages and sadly my daughter isn’t quite a fan of them just yet. I’m hoping that by next summer she’ll be on board.
I hope so too. Thanks for reading.
Because I broken my hand in May I havent been able to enjoy a good water park yet. Love the recap of this seems like you all had a blast!
Lazy Rivers are my favorite too! It’s so chill and relaxing. It looks like you guys had a great time.
Thanks Ramona. We are planning to go to another one before the summer ends.
We started a tradition of road tripping to Wisconsin Dells where we park hop. I’m hoping to take the kids to our local waterpark (Deep River) soon.
Sounds like a lot of fun.
Seeing this post reminds me that the hubs and I need to take in a water park soon. We almost never go. We prefer theme parks.
I absolutely love waterparks it makes the inner kid come out of me for sure!!
Same here. I prefer them over roller coasters.
Waterparks ate my favorite! A 2 hour ride isn’t so bad, I have to consider making time to head out there, looks like great fun.
It was loads of fun. I like to get there early to get my money’s worth.
I used to love water parks as a kid! Now I get a little paranoid about the water being contaminated LOL. I need to let me inhibitions go because this looks so fun.

Totally understandable.
I need to make a trip to Splish Splash this summer. The water rides are the best.
Too much fun seems to be had by all. My family loves water park, we definitely need to get it in a couple of times before the summer is over
Such fun! My son can’t wait for our family trip next month so he can experience his first big waterpark. I think Im more excited for him than he is 🙂
Looks like you all had a great waterpark experience! I’m looking forward to going to a park before the summer is over.
We had an awesome time. We’re supposed to go to another before the summer ends.
Water parks are so much fun! It’s been a few years since we have been to one so we’re long over due for a trip.
That looked like so much fun! I have to carve out some time to spend with my God children. They LOVE water parks 🙂
