Itty Bitty Surf City

Here is a place that is fun and safe, made just for the kids. They can have fun on small slides, pools, a rain tree, a family fountain area, and in a tunnel. You can be sure that they will have a ton of fun here.

Treehouse Harbor

The whole family will have fun here. You can watch as the kids explore a tunnel, zoom down the tunnel slides, and then get drenched by a bucket filled with 1500 gallons of cool water.

Endless River

This is one of the most popular and relaxing places in the whole park. You, the family, and your friends can float along this trail on your tubes and just enjoy the scenery.

Runaway Rafts

This is another hugely popular ride at Raging Rivers. You travel down more than 600 feet of slide and through several catch pools before you finally reach the bottom.

Swirlpool
