About Each Park
Splash Summit Water Park
Utah
Splash Summit Water Park sits in the heart of Provo, taking advantage of Utah's hot summers with a solid collection of water attractions that hit the sweet spot for families. The park's main draw is its collection of body slides and tube slides that wind down from a central tower structure. You'll find a good mix of intensity levels here - nothing that'll terrify the kids, but enough speed and turns to keep teenagers interested. The lazy river makes a nice loop around a good portion of the park, and it's actually long enough to feel relaxing rather than just a quick float. The wave pool generates decent-sized waves every few minutes, though it can get packed during peak afternoon hours. What really works well here is the kids' area, which has been thoughtfully designed with smaller versions of the big slides plus plenty of dump buckets and spray features. Parents can actually relax on nearby lounge chairs and keep an eye on everything. The park maintains a clean, well-run operation that feels safe without being overly restrictive. Food options cover the basics with a central concession area serving burgers, pizza, and the usual snacks. Prices are reasonable for what you get. I'd recommend arriving right when they open if you're visiting on weekends or during July - the place fills up fast, and you'll want to grab chairs early. The shade situation is decent but not overwhelming, so bring plenty of sunscreen. Cabana rentals are available and worth it…

Cherry Hill has been Kaysville's go-to family water park since 1958, and it shows in all the best ways. This isn't some massive corporate water park - it's got that classic small-town charm that makes you feel like you're visiting a friend's really awesome backyard pool setup. The pirate ship playground is absolutely the star attraction for younger kids. It's got climbing nets, water cannons, and enough interactive features to keep kids busy for hours while parents can actually relax nearby. The water slides here aren't going to break any height records, but they're perfect for families with mixed age groups. You've got gentler slides for the little ones and a few steeper options that'll get your heart pumping without terrifying anyone. The lazy river is surprisingly well-done for a park this size - long enough that you actually get to float and unwind. I'd recommend arriving right when they open, especially on weekends, because this place gets packed with locals who know what they've got here. The concession stand serves exactly what you'd expect, but the prices are reasonable compared to bigger parks. Bring your own snacks if you want to save money - they're pretty relaxed about outside food. Parking is free and right next to the entrance, which is a nice touch. The staff here genuinely seems to enjoy working with kids, and the overall vibe is much more laid-back than you'll find at corporate parks. This is the kind of place where you can let your…
