Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii
Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii, formerly called Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park, boasts more than 25 "mad 'n' massive" rides and attractions on 29 tropical acres just 35 miles from Waikiki in Kapolei on the island of Oahu. Wet 'n' Wild is the only water park in the Hawaiian Islands and the park says it's the "number 1 family attraction" and the "number 1 local attraction" on Oahu. While there are the usual rides for thrill-seekers including Tornado, guests will also find tamer attractions, such as the lazy river known as Kapolei Kooler; Water World, an interactive kids area; and Hawaiian Waters, a 400,000-gallon wave pool. Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii is a great excursion for the whole family, whether you're local residents or vacationers.
