HELEN TUBING AND WATERPARK (HELEN)

Tube the Chattahoochee — A MUST, as far as we are concerned — and then play at Helen Water Park.

At the water park, kids must be 42” to ride the four slides, but anyone can cruise the 1000-foot-long lazy river with or without a tube. There’s also a playground for the little ones.

SIX FLAGS WHITE WATER (MARIETTA)

Six Flags White Water is one of the most popular water parks in Georgia for good reason! There are 23 different water rides here! You’ll find thrill rides, family rides, and kiddie rides for the littlest members of your group too.

Thrill rides include the Dive Bomber and the Tornado, and family rides include Black River Falls and the Bahama Bob Slide. Visit the all new Caribbean Cove, Buccaneer Bay, or the Little Hooch Lazy River for the young ones.

HURRICANE HARBOR WATER PARK (AUSTELL)

TERMINUS WAKE PARK – AQUA PARK (CARTERSVILLE)

An inflatable water playground is the newest addition to Terminus Wake Park, and is perfect for cooling off on a hot summer day! If you’ve ever wanted to be on the show Wipe Out, a visit here will make it feel like you’re there.

Enjoy movies on the beach, beach access, live entertainment, over a dozen wet rides, slides, and attractions, including Wild Waves- Georgia’s largest wave pool, several amusement rides, interactive games, shows and more at Margaritaville at Lake Lanier Islands in Buford. The kids must be 42” for most rides; 48” for a handful of thrill rides.

Don’t miss their newest addition — Apocalypso, Georgia’s first waterslide coaster.

RIGBY’S WATER WORLD (WARNER ROBINS)

Rigby’s Water World in Warner Robins is a family friendly water park in central Georgia. Young children will love the Little Surfer’s Cove kid area with its slides, pool, and jumbo slide.  Challenge your friends to a race on the Riptide Racers racing slides, or get dizzy on the Whirlpool Winder — a slide that launches you into a giant whirlpool bowl.

If you’re feeling extra brave, try not to wipe out on the Wipe Out — a slide that propels you up a wall, traveling at nearly 20 mph!

SUMMER WAVES WATER PARK (JEKYLL ISLAND)

Summer Waves Water Park on Jekyll Island is our favorite water park! We make sure to go every summer!

Shark Tooth Cove is an amazing kids area that has a shallow pool, multiple water slides, dump buckets, and more. We love all the seating for the parents found here.

The Frantic Atlantic Wave Pool and Turtle Creek lazy river are also big hits with my crew! You’ll also find plenty of thrill ride slides here — both with tubes and body slides — so everyone will find something they love.

SPLASH IN THE BORO (STATESBORO)

The wave pool at Splash in the Boro is fun for the whole family, because it features its own spray playground. Young children will love the small water play area, that features water slides just for them.

There are multiple slides for big kids and adults, and a lazy river. For an extra fee, try to hang ten on the Flow Rider.
