Great Waves Waterpark Things to Know Before Your Go

Great Waves Waterpark in Alexandria is a wonderful outdoor water park! It has a giant wave pool which is so fun, water slides, outdoor playground for littles and more! The park is the perfect size for my kids (ages 5 and 8) with tons to do even without going on the tall slides! (My son is under 48” requirement) But they had 2 other fun slides for kids, wave pool, splash pad, and the surprise of the day… the huge netted play structure that was almost empty and in the shade! Note: It was very busy even on a Wednesday.

These pics don’t show all the ppl because I didn’t want to post other kids, especially in the water, so I took pics from far away. We were able to be farther away from people by going to the spots ppl were not at. Overall, Great Waves Water Park offered a wonderful day out for my family. It was a great mix of fun and relaxation, with plenty of activities to keep my kids entertained and happy throughout our visit.

Great Waves Waterpark Things to Know Before Your Go

Please make sure you know that no food or drinks other than water bottles are allowed in at Great Waves Waterpark. I had to bring my snack of cherries back to the car!

Pizza, hot dogs, funnel cakes and Dippin’ Dots are sold there.

Also it was pretty busy on a summer weekend. I should have gotten there earlier in the day but the kids didn't mind the crowd so that's what matters.
