Wild Waves Theme Park Insider Tips

• If you have small children that like to splash around in the water, take them to the Wave Pool. Little ones can splash in the shallow end, while older kids can venture deeper into the pool to ride the 2-foot high waves.
• It can be expensive to spend a day at the amusement park, especially if you buy your meals. While you can't bring your own food into the park you can get reentry stamps, so feel free to pack a cooler full of food to eat at your car once you've worked up an appetite.
• Check the official website's Deals page - the theme park occasionally offers special packages if you also book a room at an area hotel, and provides discounted tickets for large groups.
