These 4 Water Parks In Delaware Are Pure Bliss For Anyone Who Goes There

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!

Please note: many of these parks are open seasonally, when the weather warms up enough.

1. White Water Mountain Water Park

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 waterpark in Delaware.

2. Killens Pond State Park

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!

3. Thunder Lagoon Water Park

With six slides, a 400-foot-long, Viking-themed lazy river, an activity pool, and a kiddie pool, this old-school water park in Delaware is the most fun you’ve had in ages. In addition to loads of fun for older kids, there's an 800-square-foot kiddie pool that's sure to keep littles busy for hours.

4. Jungle Jim's

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.
