Editor's Take

About the Venue

OC Waterpark is a seasonal beachfront waterpark on the Ocean City Boardwalk with multiple family water-play options, including the newer OC Spray & Play area near the entrance and Lil' Buc's Bay for younger guests. Families can pair gentler splash time with bigger-kid slides, a lazy river, concessions, and shaded cabana rentals in one stop. It is a stronger fit for families wanting a fuller paid waterpark outing rather than a quick free municipal splash-pad visit.
