Water Parks in New York

Cool off at Darien Lake, Buffalo's largest water park, where thrill rides, kiddie waterslides, and a waterfront boardwalk reflect the nostalgia of a 1950's lakeside resort.

A Long Island favorite, Splish Splash features high-speed tube rides through total darkness, water coasters, and near-vertical free falls.

Ride a double-tube down a 100-foot drop into a swirling splash pool at Enchanted Forest Water Safari in the Adirondacks. In the Finger Lakes, Roseland Waterpark boasts a water playground, a near-vertical free fall slide, and more. For New York's only zero-gravity water ride, visit SplashDown Beach in the Hudson Valley.

Home to the world's largest water park zip line—more than 100 feet high and spanning the entire vicinity—Zoom Flume Water Park also has a lazy river and an interactive Grand Prix Splashway.

When the weather draws you inside, visit Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark where whitewater-rafting, tubing, and slides abound at a balmy 82 degrees year-round.
