Land of Illusion has long been a popular haunted attraction in Middletown, but last year, it added Aqua Adventures to its property.
It became a popular summer destination for our region and the only inflatable water park of its size near Cincinnati. There are many fun and exciting features of the water park and something for all ages.
The main Wibit Adventure Zone is for those over 43" tall and features the same set-up that park visitors enjoyed last year.
This year, Aqua Adventures also added a new inflatable section for younger kids under 43" tall. If you visited with a child last year, you likely know the main area can get a bit overwhelming, so this was a great addition. Parents are welcome to play with their younger kids in this new area.
The most recent and most exciting addition is this towering water slide.
Standing at 43 feet tall, this inflatable water slide is the tallest in the country. You climb to the top, slide down, and fly through the air into the water.
The slide is a fun feature and there are many other spots within the park for thrills.
Children age three and under get into the park for free with a paying adult, and this is a great spot for them to play. If you want to grab chairs and a good location, be sure to get there early.
In addition to the inflatable water park, Aqua Adventures also offers Paddle Bay.
On this peaceful section of the water, you can try out paddle boarding. If you’re new to this fun activity, this is a great place to do so in calm, predictable water.
Outside food and drinks are not allowed inside the park, but they have everything you need for a day of fun.
In between the slide, obstacles, and water play, take a break and enjoy a variety of drinks and food. There are also restrooms on site and plenty of space to spread out and enjoy a day at this inflatable water park near Cincinnati.
This inflatable water park near Cincinnati just got even cooler with the addition of the largest water slide of its kind in the entire country. There’s fun in the sun and water for all ages here and you still have time left to visit this summer. Have you already spent a day at Aqua Adventures? Will you return to try the towering water slide?
