Nestled near the Mississippi River, Raging Rivers WaterPark is a top summer destination, featuring adrenaline-pumping slides like the Mississippi Monster, Runaway Rafts, Cascade Body Flume, Swirl Pools, and Shark Attack. For those seeking relaxation, the 700-foot Endless River offers a gentle float, while the 18,000-square-foot Breaker Beach Wave Pool delivers big waves and big fun. Families with young children will love Itty Bitty Surf City, a dedicated area with pint-sized slides, splash pools, rain trees, and the TreeHouse Harbor play area, complete with crawl tunnels, rope pulls, and a dumping water bucket.
Guests can also take advantage of cabana rentals, a gift shop, food and beverage concessions, as well as designated areas for birthday parties and group events.
“We’re thrilled to welcome families back for another unforgettable summer at Raging Rivers,” stated Jeremy Hayes, Raging Rivers General Manager. “Our team has worked hard to create new experiences and bring back fan favorites, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy. We can’t wait to see everyone out here making memories.”
Raging Rivers WaterPark will be open through early September. Join the fun on Opening Day at 100 Palisades Parkway, Grafton, IL, and get ready for a summer trifecta filled with sun, sips, and splashes!
