Summer can get hot in the Hawkeye State, and there's no better way to beat the heat than a dip in the pool. But when your neighborhood pool won't do, there's nothing to make your summer like a trip to a truly epic waterpark. Waterloo, Iowa has been home to one of the best waterparks in Iowa for years now - the tropical-themed Lost Island Waterpark.

Many people call it the best waterpark in Iowa - and the refreshments certainly don't hurt its case!

A tropical paradise in Iowa? Lost Island Waterpark has been bringing in visitors every summer for years - for a good reason.

This massive waterpark boasts a large lagoon, a wave pool, and nine thrilling waterslides for all ages.

The main lagoon can usually be seen filled with summer adventure-seekers, enjoying the crisp cool water over a game of volleyball.

For those who want things even more leisurely, grab an inner tube and float down the lazy river without a care in the world.

But for the daring, some epic rides await. The twisty Emerald Adventure features dueling slides that spin you around. Who will emerge first?

The ultimate thrill ride at Lost Island Waterpark is Lost Soul Falls, a steep freefall that will send you careening down the slide at 28 heart-pounding miles per hour.

After that, it's definitely time to take the edge off - so head to the Barefoot Lounge, a very adult retreat that features a delicious array of craft beers.

Before you leave, make sure to stop by the Mermaid Lagoon to watch these talented water dancers pull off impressive stunts.
