COVID or no COVID, waterslides are slowly opening in time for the heat of summer. Waterslides are irresistible for kids, and a great way for adults to unleash their inner child. Grab the floaties, and head to these swirling, twirling slides around the city. Most water parks are open at reduced capacity, and may include temperature checks on entry.

Cultus Lake Waterpark
A family outing to BC’s largest water park is well worth the trip. With rides for all sizes and temperaments, this 35-year-old park has something for everyone. The Bazooka Bowls, Rattler, Tubular Terror and Valley of Fear should satisfy the risk-takers! For the little ones, there are plenty of gentle slides from Pirate’s Cove and the Kiddie Castle to the Turtle Pool. And for grownups, there’s WIFI and five hot tubs. During the pandemic, there are 2 timed 4-hour sessions per day starting at 9:30 am and 2:30 pm.
If water slides are all a bit too intimidating, we’ve got plenty of options for watery fun!

Quite possibly the only water park in BC located on a lake, Harrison’s home game version of “Wipeout” is located on Harrison Lake just in front of the Harrison Hot Springs Resort & Spa (which makes warming up after sliding super handy!).
