Read more about this location
Orangeburg Water Park is one of the strongest inland family water-day options in South Carolina if you are price-sensitive but still want more than a splash pad. Official YMCA of Columbia sources place it beside the Orangeburg County YMCA and describe a line-up that includes family slides, a bowl slide, lazy river, zero-depth pool, toddler pool with slide, and children's spray features. It is a particularly good value for mixed-age families because the price difference between height tiers is modest and YMCA members enter free.
