This Fantastical Waterpark In Iowa With Its Own Craft Beer Bar Will Make Your Summer Epic

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 Iowa’s top water attraction for years now – the tropical-themed Lost Island Waterpark. So get your swimsuit on and get ready to discover what this thrilling park has waiting for guests of all ages.

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.

As the sun falls over Waterloo, Iowa, you'll want to book your return engagement to this tropical resort as soon as possible - and there's a whole other side to this attraction next door!
