Make some memories at Funtown Splashtown USA, with 50 rides, water slides and pools. It’s like two amazing parks in one location. At Funtown, there are roller coasters, rides that spin and twirl, a ride inside a dome with music and a laser show, turbo drops and racing and bumper cars. Over at Splashtown, you can zip through crazy tunnels and zoom down giant slides on mats and rafts or splash around in pools. Both parks have plenty for little tykes, from the carousel to wading pools. There are game arcades, a store where you can “prospect” for gemstones, private cabanas for rent and plenty of places to eat, from fruit smoothies at the tiki bar to burgers and salads at the Parthenon Cafe. A family owned and operated business, Funtown Splashtown puts guest safety first. Please review our health safety guidelines prior to your visit.
