The South Dakota Water Park You Must Visit Before Summer’s Over

Has the heat got you down? We're pretty much in the thick of it when it comes to summer temperatures. Don't worry - we've got the perfect solution. Take a look!

Wild Water West has been open for more than 25 years. You'll find it at 26767 466th Avenue in Sioux Falls.

The zero-entry wave pool is almost like being in the ocean.

There's a huge team of well-trained lifeguards to keep you safe during your visit.

The Lazy River takes you on a ride through part of the park, and you'll get drenched under several water falls, too.

Caribbean Falls is the perfect place to cool off fast. Stand under the 1,000-gallon bucket, which dumps every five minutes.

There's something for the whole family here. Let the little ones play in the Activity Pool, which offers obstacle courses and is only four feet deep.

For thrill seekers, a climb up the 65-foot tower gives you access to all five water slides.

And of course, if you're a teenager this is the place to see and be seen.

Grab a frosty cold drink at the swim-up bar, which serves up delicious daiquiris and piña coladas. After all, it's important to stay hydrated!

On a hot, summer day, this is definitely the place to be.
