The Best Waterparks in Kentucky!

Summertime is a fantastic time to get out and explore. When the heat sizzles and fanning yourself repeatedly just isn’t cutting it anymore, the natural thing to do is to seek the solace of the cool water.

We’ve done a bit of research, starting with our home state of Kentucky.

To be completely transparent, I really was surprised by the amount of water parks in Kentucky. I hadn’t heard of many of these that we’ve listed and I am busy making plans to take the kiddos on a tour of the water parks this summer!  Many of these open Memorial Day and close in early September.

Water Parks in Kentucky

Venture River Water Park -Eddyville, Kentucky

Tucked away in Eddyvillle Kentucky, the Venture River Water Park is a water park packed with water slides galore, a huge wave pool, a lazy river and of course an area for little ones.

General Admission prices for adults run $29 and $24 for kids. Additionally, you can reserve a cabana for the day ranging from $45 to $125 per day depending on the cabana and it’s location. Here is the thing, in my very humble opinion, having a spot that you have to call home base for the day and not having to fight for a chair, makes a cabana very worth it.

Kentucky Splash Waterpark – Williamsburg, Kentucky

Not only is this a waterpark, but also a camp ground. So if camping if your thing, come to swim, stay for the camping!

Kentucky Splash Waterpark has a wave pool, a lazy river, a kiddy activity pool, a triple slide complex, a double slide tower, a championship miniature golf course, an arcade, a driving range. There is truly something for everyone here!

At $12 per person, no matter the day, a visit to Kentucky Splash won’t break the bank!
