What ever happened to water parks being all the rage? We don’t know about you, but we feel like they haven’t been popular in forever, and we’d like to put an end to that. Here’s the good news: even though the world hasn’t been paying attention, water parks have evolved incredibly regardless. Here are the best water parks in the United States to cool you down on a hot summer’s day.

Noah’s Ark, Wisconsin

Join us in the city of Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, where Noah’s Ark is the main attraction. No, we’re not talking about the historic boat—we’re talking about an impressive park with over 50 slides to entertain the whole family. It’s got extreme rides for the brave older kids, and it’s also got the kiddie rides for the youngsters. Black Anaconda, in the particular, goes up to 30 miles per hour and is considered by many as the greatest water slide in America.

Splashin’ Safari, Indiana

Head on down to Santa Claus, Indiana, where Splashin’ Safari resides. One thing that sets this park from others is that it holds Cheetah Chase, the world’s very first water coaster. Not sure what a water coaster is? There’s only one way to find out!

Water World, Colorado

Water World hosts up to 40 water attractions, including the Mile High Flyer, yet another water coaster known for its extreme speed. Based in Denver, Colorado, this massive water park is also home to a myriad of other wild rides such as The Storm and Turbo Racer.
