REAL SAND. REAL SURF. REAL FUN. The Beach is the Real Deal!
The Beach has been recognized for its innovative ideas like extending the operating season with a winter event, new family focused pricing, and creative and unique events such as Dive In Movies and Club Aqua... a night for teens. This is the reason why The Beach was named the #1 Waterpark in the Nation by Aquatics International Magazine in 2004 and is voted the Best Place to Get Wet by City Beat Magazine year after year.
Guests with a need for speed love the Banzai, an 85-foot triple drop slide, The Cliff, a five-story free fall body flume with three seconds of pure air, and Aztec Adventure, the Midwest's only water coaster. Visitors looking for a little relaxation enjoy floating 1,200 feet around the park in inner tubes on the Lazy Miami River and lounging at The Pearl, an oversized spa pool heated to 80 degrees and surrounded by live palm trees, rockwork and cascading waterfalls.
The Beach Waterpark has continued to be one of the premier travel destinations in the Midwest. Whether guests seek thrilling water slides, a relaxing tropical island experience, or winter holiday adventures, The Beach offers something for every age and interest.
The Beach is the Real Deal.
