Read more about this location

Prentis Plunge is Vermillion's main summer aquatics destination and includes a dedicated splash pad within a broader outdoor water-park setup. Families with mixed ages get the most value here because younger kids can stay near the splash features while older swimmers move to the lazy river and slides. It is a stronger fit for planned summer outings than for a quick free splash stop, especially if you want concessions and a fuller pool-day atmosphere.
