Read more about this location
Runaway Rapids Waterpark is the region's largest destination-style family water-play venue, combining thrill slides with easier options for younger kids. The official site highlights over 18 water slides, a kiddie lagoon, a separate toddler play area, a lazy river, and two spa pools, along with Ellis-trained lifeguards, showers, lockers, and changing facilities. This is a better fit for families wanting a full waterpark day than a simple splash-pad stop, but the dedicated younger-kid areas make it workable for mixed-age groups too.
