This Kentucky Water Park Makes a Splash

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 a water coaster, a funnel ride, a bowl ride, or any of the other major attractions found at larger, more full-featured water parks. But you will find some of the usual features, including:

Water slides
One tower 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
A lazy river
At 900 feet, it is rather long
A wave pool
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.

Water Park Admission Policy

One price for all visitors. 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.

When Is It Open?

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

What's to Eat?

An onsite 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.
