Great Waves Waterpark

Alexandria, VA - Park

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 (ex. When waves were on, we went to the slides. When everything was busy we went to the awesome play structure which had 1 other kid and wore masks.) Just wanted to put this big disclaimer out there in case you want to social distance even more, I would skip this water park this summer. Another big note is 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. ⁣
