The park lists 12 attractions; its home page speaks of 20+. Splash Cove, the newest kids' area, is built for toddlers and younger children: shallow water, seven slides including a multi-lane racing slide, and two tipping buckets. Tadpole Hole next to it has children's activity pools with four themed slides. The 2,000-foot lazy river is the calm option, ridden in an inner tube. The attractions page lists no maximum heights or weights.
