Location: Columbus, Ohio
Years Active: 2008 – Active
Zoombezi Bay isn’t your cookie-cutter water park. Sure, it’s got the slides and pools, but it’s also got this unexpected wild streak –blame it on being neighbors with the zoo. You won’t find any sleepy kiddie zones or predictable water rides here.
Think heart-pounding drops, dizzying slides that’ll throw you for a loop, and roaring waves that make you feel like you’re on a mini ocean voyage. They’ve even got a water coaster – it’s like a rollercoaster, but way wetter.
Skip the overpriced snacks and bring your own munchies. That way, you won’t waste precious ride time standing in food lines.
The safari theme sets Zoombezi Bay apart. There’s an energy, a sense of exploration, that you won’t find anywhere else. Plus, who knows what crazy surprises they’re cooking up? One year it could be a giant python slide, the next, a hippopotamus wave pool! This place is about embracing the unexpected and having a blast while doing it.
