Guests who become separated from their party and seek assistance will be taken to the Lost & Found Office. Children should be instructed to ask the nearest team member for help in case they get lost. Team members are identified by Wild Waves Theme & Water Park name tags. We recommend that all groups decide on a meeting place, such as the Wild Thing, in the event they get separated.

Guests with casts or braces will be restricted from riding certain rides where the cast or brace may present a hazard to the guest or others. If a cast is permitted on a ride, the cast must fit comfortably within the ride vehicle and not interfere with the required riding position or function of the restraint, if applicable. Please contact Guest Relations or email info@wildwaves.com for more information or if in doubt about your ability to safely experience a ride. Please note that guests with casts must be aware that participation on some attractions may worsen an existing injury. Read more and see restrictions on specific rides here.

In the event of rain, our attractions will remain open. If there is heavy rain, severe weather or lightning in the area, some rides may not be able to operate and guests will be asked to exit the water until the weather passes. In the event weather conditions cause all rides and attractions to close for a continuous 2 hours, a raincheck may be issued for admission on another day during the same operating season. Please present your receipt of purchase to Guest Relations, located next to the main entrance, to receive your ticket. Season Pass holders are not eligible for a raincheck. Once rides re-open, rainchecks will no longer be issued. No rainchecks will be issued if the park closes for the day due to weather during the last 60 minutes of the park operating day. We do not offer refunds.
At Wild Waves, the safety and well-being of our guests and team members has always been our top priority. We have specific, stringent sanitation protocols in place for every operating department.
All guest and team member high-touch points such as surfaces, railings, technology screens, handles and doors are sanitized throughout the day as per regular policy. Antibacterial soap and hand sanitizer stations are also available throughout the park.
In addition to the steps outlined above, we ask team members who are exhibiting cold or flu-like symptoms to stay home and contact their healthcare provider. The park follows guidance from local and state officials, as well as the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) on necessary health & safety protocols.
