compared to other indoor water parks, the 40,000-square-foot big splash adventure is a medium-sized facility. its most prominent feature is its all-glass exterior. the translucent walls and roof allow sunlight in all year long and give the park an open ambiance. opened in warmer weather, its retractable glass roof really gives the park an open feeling. at the time it debuted, big splash adventure was the largest indoor water park with a retractable roof in the united states.
the park has a tropical and pirate theme. its most intriguing and most thrilling attraction is silver beard’s revenge, a bowl ride. big splash adventure does not offer any other major water park features, such as a flowrider surfing ride, or a funnel ride.
among the park's other more challenging rides are pirate's plunder and scallywag scuttle, two enclosed body slides. jolly roger jetty is an enclosed tube slide that snakes outside the building (but is heated and remains comfortable in the colder months).
guests of all ages and thrill tolerances would enjoy the lost river, a lazy river that includes spray features and travels through a cave. the lost treasure lagoon is an activity pool with water basketball, a lily pad walk, and an area with a strong current.
buccaneer bay is primarily designed for younger kids. the interactive water play center has water jets, bridges, climbing structures, and a giant bucket that periodically dumps water. big splash adventure's youngest visitors will want to head to splish splash pool, a wading area with pint-sized attractions.
