The First State is a seriously fun state, offering lots of opportunities for outdoor recreation and adventure. Today we’re kicking it old-school and highlighting some of the best waterparks in Delaware. From superlative slides to epic lazy rivers, these Delaware parks are guaranteed fun for everyone!
18645 Coastal Hwy, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971, USA
Adjacent to Midway Speedway along Route 1 between Lewes and Rehoboth is White Water Mountain Water Park. If you want to blend the relaxation fun of a water park with the need for speed, try the bumper boats! The little ones can climb all over the place and squirt each other with water guns built into the equipment. A shallow water pool means they can run all over the place. Or grab a tube and go for a slide down a 'volcano' and spy on the mini golfers below -- the world really is your oyster at this amazing water park in Delaware.
Killens Pond State Park, 5025 Killens Pond Rd, Felton, DE 19943, USA
It seems a little odd to have a water park in a state park that's mainly devoted to exploring nature, but this park makes it work. It is popular with families, groups, and summer camps. If you have younger kids, jump over to the baby pool with two little frog slides, or the tot lot with a pipe slide and waterfall. There are also two tall water slides that dump into the main pool, where kids can get soaked or try to walk on water by stepping from lily pad to lily pad. Of course, Killens Pond State Park is in itself an amazing adventure; it's truly one of Delaware's best water parks!

Jungle Jim's is pure fun, and easily one of the best water parks in Delaware to go on a hot summer day. Zoom down some of the most popular water slides in the state: the Anaconda or the Stampede! If you want to get soaked, wait for the giant tiki head to tip over and drench the crowd. And of course, if you're not an adrenalin junkie, there's a lazy river for you to drift around in. This place has options and is really an all-day kind of destination.
