Look around the county and you will find some great places to stay cool and get wet. There are a few water parks and splash zones around to keep you cool and refreshed during these blazingly hot Summer days. Let us show you a few of the places nearby to play and soak. Rapids Water Park (West Palm Beach) One of the largest water parks in South Florida (30 acres to be exact), Rapids has so many things for you to do it’s mind-blowing. With 35 rides for young and old to experience, Rapids Water Park is the perfect place to escape the warm weather. The newest ride here is called the New Brain Drain, two 70-foot high enclosed flume waterslides. Each slide will give the rider a different ride pattern yet launch at the same time. This ride can reach speeds up to 35 mph. Wow! Another ride here is the “FlowRider”. Here you hop on your body board and ride the waves at 35 mph. For the more daring in your group try riding Big Thunder (a multi-person raft with a 45˚ drop), Rapids Racer (an enclosed flume race), Riptide Raftin (a 4 person raft ride through a 10 foot wide tube) or Black Thunder (a multi-person raft through the dark and a drop in a vortex). For those wanting something a little different try Body Blasters (no mat, no tubes-all waterslide), Pirates Plunge (an enclosed tunnel with a seven foot drop) or Raging Rapids (a multi-person raft flume). For the children there are such things to do like Splash Hill (8 different slides), Splish Splash Lagoon (slides, water cannons, swamp animals and a shipwreck) or the Barefootin Bay (sprayers, 6 Explore Palm Beach | Welcome to our world™ slides and a giant pineapple tipping bucket). Should you feel a little sluggish and just want to unwind, just float around on their lazy river and relax. Feel like a little privacy? Rent one of their cabanas for the day – privacy curtains, ceiling fan, flat screen TV, loveseat, locker and food/beverage service. You and your family will have an enjoyable and cool time while you’re here.
