Utah’s summers can be brutally hot, but we have plenty of ways to stay cool. In addition to our shady canyons, refreshing lakes and rivers, and parks with splash pads and pools, there’s a gigantic water park with 11 slides. Splash, play, and beat the heat this summer at Cowabunga Bay.
Cowabunga Bay bills itself as the “World’s Largest Water Playground,” and we believe it. With 2,500 square feet of water, 12 levels, and 11 waterslides, this place is pure paradise on a hot, summer day.

…and a float on the 600-foot-long Cowabunga River is lazy fun for the whole family.

Every so often, the massive, 1,500-gallon bucket high above the water playground dumps the “World’s Biggest Splash,” drenching guests below.

The waterslides are a thrilling way to cool off, too. With 11 different ones to choose from, riders young and old, small and big can find something that has just the right amount of thrills.

Mondo is the biggest slide at the park. Riders experience 1,000 feet of twists and turns…all in the dark.

All the slides at Cowabunga Bay end in a run-out instead of dropping into a pool, which is much safer.
