Jungle Rapids Family Fun Park Map and Brochure (2017)
Location: Wilmington, North Carolina
Years Active: 1970 – Active
Jungle Rapids Family Fun Park isn’t your average water park. It’s a Wilmington institution – a splash of old-school fun that’s been around since 1970. Sure, it’s got the water slides and lazy river, but the vibe is totally different. Expect a laid-back, tropical feel that makes even adults want to let loose.
Want to beat the crowds? Go on a weekday. The weekends get packed, especially during the hottest months. Love a bargain? Look for discount days and special events throughout the year. They even throw some awesome, off-season festivals that are way less crowded than the summer.
The go-karts here are no joke. This track is fast and fun – a little more challenging than your typical family fun park ride. The mini-golf course is classic (think kitschy obstacles and fun themes). And the arcade? It’s loaded with retro games alongside the new stuff.
