Located just 15 minutes from downtown Denver, Water World is a community-owned waterpark with 46 creative aquatic attractions on 67 landscaped acres. The park is divided into several themed areas, and many of the theming ideas are born at staff meetings where everyone has a say.

From partially dark rides featuring unique animatronics to three of the tallest, fastest and scariest slides in North America, the park is designed to offer something for everyone. Attractions include the Zoomerang family raft ride, the Thunder Bay wave pool and the Tortuga Run adventure river.

Concessions are equally diverse, with affordable food selections of all types. Guests also can bring their own picnics, and parking is always free.
