What better way to cool off the whole family on a hot summer day than at this fun waterpark?! “America’s Biggest Little Waterpark” is located in Fishkill, an hour away from NYC, where adults and children of all ages can enjoy some water fun.

Here you will find a lazy river, wave pool, regular pool, and an endless amount of thrilling slides! The new Arctic Mammoth ride is the largest attraction of the park and can fit up to 5 family members on each raft. Your children will love the Arctic Plunge Racer where they can go down the slide on a mat and race each other to the bottom! Make sure you also try the Pirate’s Plunge, one of the fastest water slides in the park!

Don’t worry your young ones will not be left out here!  They will love Shipwreck Lagoon where they get to explore a pirate ship, go on the mini water slides, and get wet from the dumping buckets. This “kids only” area has water low enough for your little ones to be safe while having fun in the water! Your children can also explore at the Splash Works area where there are even more mini water slides and fun water activities for your child to play with.

Make sure you check out the numerous food choices that they have to offer here including their all new Waffle House and Iggy’s Fresh Mex! You can also grab a hot dog from Nathan’s Famous and ice cream at the Frosty Shack.

Attend the K104 Beach Party at this waterpark every Friday starting June 24th to August 26th. Celebrate with one of the best radio stations by listening to some of the greatest hits while having fun on the thrill rides. Keep an eye out for special events and performances during this time. Past performances included pop singers, Justin Beiber and Austin Mahone! Last year, singer, Tori Kelly, made a special performance for some lucky winners for K104’s “Listen to Win” contest!
