A Day at the Park
There are many sections within Idlewild with different rides and a unique theme. Feel the thrill of the Wild Mouse in Olde Idlewild, get splashed on Paul Bunyan's Loggin' Toboggan and let the littlest ones have fun in Raccoon Lagoon.
The kids will definitely blow off some steam in Jumpin’ Jungle, where they can jump into Bubbling Springs, a huge ball pit, take a ride down Bigfoot’s mudslide, cross the Alligator Swamp and play a tune on the Jungle Organ.
Cool Off At SoakZone
Take a break from the roller coasters and ride the tide in the Wowabunga Family Wave Pool, race each other on the HydroRacers water slides and twist down the Pipleline Plunge.
Little ones will love the Little Squirts pool and water fun area, while the bigger kids can enjoy the Captain Kidd’s Adventure Galley, a pirate ship with six water slides and other fun features.
Parents can grab a tube and relax at Float Away Bay, Soakzone's lazy river, or chill out under a cabana.
Special Events and Not-to-Miss Appearances
While there are always costumed characters to meet and interactive performances going on at the park, there are certain special festivities that you can't miss! End your fun-filled 4th of July with a fireworks show, meet Princesses Beauty and Cinderella and enjoy delicious cuisine on the Italian Day Festa! Be sure to bring the kids on Daniel Tiger Neighbor Days to meet Daniel Tiger and his friends from the popular PBS television show!
