It’s safe to say that most of us have been to a water park, a splash pad, or a swimming pool, right?

Come with us to this aquatic playground to check out this new summer attraction in Arkansas that promises tons of fun for the whole family.

Formerly known as Holiday Springs Waterpark, Big Dam Waterpark is under new management and it’s the hotspot in Texarkana for the summer.

Big Dam has a virtual reality snorkeling (DIVR) attraction that will literally blow your mind. It turns the swimming pool into an unbelievable immersive playground.
