Things to do at the Waterpark
The waterpark is the perfect place to relax and have fun with family and friends. Here are a few tips for making the most of your time at the waterpark:
Bring Inflatables
Bring along a few inflatables to make your pool experience even more enjoyable. Whether it’s a blow-up turtle, pool noodle, or beach ball- the possibilities are endless. Make sure to check the waterpark rules beforehand, as some parks may not allow certain inflatables.
Wear Sunscreen
Don’t forget to put on some sunscreen, even if it is cloudy. The sun’s UV rays can be strong and cause sunburns or other skin damage. Apply sunscreen about 30 minutes before going outside and remember to reapply throughout the day.
Have Fun
Now for the fun part! The waterpark is the perfect place to have a blast and make memories. You can take advantage of the park’s amenities such as slides, lazy rivers, and wave pools. You can also grab a tube and float around the pool or play a few games of Marco Polo. Make sure to keep a watchful eye on the kids when they’re having fun.
Stay Hydrated
It’s important to stay hydrated while you’re out in the sun. Bring plenty of bottled water with you and make sure to take breaks in the shade. Avoid sugary drinks such as soda or juice, as they may cause dehydration.

How can we ensure we stay hydrated during the day?
Drinking water throughout the day is the best way to ensure you stay hydrated. Be sure to carry a bottle of water with you so that you can sip on it throughout the day. Additionally, you can set reminders on your phone or have alarms that prompt you to drink water throughout the day. Eating foods with high water content, such as fruit and vegetables, can also help you stay hydrated. Try to avoid sugary drinks, as these can dehydrate you.
What other activities are recommended to do with the inflatables?
Depending on the type of inflatable activity, some other activities that can work well are relay races, water balloon fights, and scavenger hunts. Many inflatables can also be used as part of a larger activity such as a carnival, where different experienced can be incorporated into the fun. Finally, traditional games like dodgeball and tag can be great fun with inflatables as well!
What is the proper SPF of sunscreen to wear?
The American Academy of Dermatology recommends using a sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30. It’s also important to choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen that provides protection from both UVA and UVB rays.
How much fun can we expect to have at the event?
A lot of fun! We have a range of activities planned, including music, games, crafts, and more. There will also be a raffle and plenty of food and drinks available. You can also expect to meet some amazing people and make some great memories.
What kinds of inflatables should be brought?

For adults, inflatables such as obstacle courses, giant slides, boxing rings, and sumo wrestling suits might be suitable. For younger children, inflatable pools, bounce houses, slides, and playhouses would be ideal.
What are the best ways to stay safe at the beach?
1. Swim in designated swimming areas.
2. Follow any local safety signs and flags.
3. Wear sunscreen and a hat.
4. Be mindful of strong rips and currents.
