Slip and slide your way down Island Oasis Water Park’s many rides. Zoom down the park’s speed slides. Both are six stories high and nearly 300 feet (90 meters) long.

Take a break from rides and relax in the shady shelter area. Play a game of beach volleyball, build a sand castle or simply enjoy the sun from your beach chair.

Get refreshments or snacks at the concession stand and enjoy lunch on one of the park’s picnic tables. Look for a memento from your visit at the souvenir stand.

Purchase your admission ticket at the entry gate. If you’re visiting with a family, take advantage of the Family Pass ticket option. Seniors, students and children have reduced admission prices. Rent life jackets and inner tubes to enjoy your trip to the fullest. Keep your belongings safe and dry in one of the rental lockers.

Visit Island Oasis Water Park between the end of May and late August. During these summer months, it is open every day from noon through mid-evening.
