Follow these simple steps and you’ll be cannonballing into fun before you know it.

Think of it as securing your ticket to a day packed with fun, laughter, and possibly convincing your kids that it’s finally time to leave.
Step 2: Complete Your Waivers
This is the step that catches people by surprise, but don’t worry, it’s quick and easy.
Every guest participating in attractions must have a completed waiver on file.
Complete your waiver here
Here’s the best part:
Once you complete your waiver, it’s valid for an entire year.
That means if you’ve already completed a waiver this season, you’re good to go. No need to fill it out again every visit.
If you’re bringing friends, grandparents, cousins, neighbors, or anyone else joining the fun, make sure every member of your party completes their waiver before arriving.
Future You will be very thankful.

Before heading out, take a few minutes to make sure you’ve packed everything you’ll need for a fantastic day.
Day Pass Essentials:
Swimsuits
