Kentucky Splash Water Park
City of Williamsburg

A relatively small outdoor water park, Kentucky Splash nonetheless is a great place to cool down and find watery fun—especially during the state's notoriously hot and sticky summers. The municipal park is run by the city of Williamsburg.

You're not going to find major attractions found at larger, more full-featured water parks such as a water coaster, a funnel ride, or a bowl ride. But you will find some of the usual suspects, including water slides, a 900-foot-long lazy river, and a wave pool. One of the park’s towers has three slides, two of which require tubes, and one of which is a body slide. One of the slides is enclosed. A second tower has two intersecting body slides that twist around each other.

Kentucky Splash also offers an interactive water play center. Geared more to younger kids, Tadpole Island has two small slides, water cannons, a climbing net, a tunnel, and a dump bucket. The shallow pool at the base of the center is ideal for little kids.

Admission Policy, Location, and Operational Calendar

The park charges one price for all visitors. In 2019, the cost is $10. Children 2 and under are free. Parking is free. 

Changing rooms with showers are included with admission. Cabanas are available to rent. Season pass and reduced-price group tickets are available. Kentucky Splash offers party packages for groups to celebrate birthdays or other special occasions. Package includes food, drinks, and a party room.

The water park and Hal Rogers Family Entertainment Center are located at 1050 Highway 92 West in Williamsburg, Kentucky. Take I-75 to Exit 11, Williamsburg to Hwy. 92W.

The seasonal, outdoor park is open from May to September. It is open weekends while school is in session. 

What's to Eat?

The onsite Rainbow Cafe offers pizza, hamburgers and other sandwiches, chili, fries, drinks, and other fast food-like items. Ice cream and Hawaiian Ice are also on the menu as well as funnel cake and other desserts. Note that the park does not allow guests to bring in their own food or drinks.
