There is one place my children look forward to visiting each summer, and that’s Hawaiian Falls Water Park. With 5 locations to choose from, we packed our swimsuits, towels, sunscreen and towels and prepared for a day of fun!
We headed to our favorite park, which is in Mansfield, TX. This waterpark is located near many shops and restaurants, but you can definitely bring in your own lunch instead! *Hawaiian Falls allows you to bring in an ice chest – minus the glass and alcoholic beverages – for a small “cooler” charge. (Not a bad price when you plan to be at the park all day long!)
My family was led to our cabana where we were introduced to our cabana girl for the day! I was lucky to get the cabana that is near Kona Kooler, which is the park’s lazy river.
The lazy river is always first on our “to-do” list, and there are no objections from me! On our way in, we picked up life jackets, which are free for children to use in the park. The current in the lazy river was just right, allowing us to “go with the flow” and not sweeping us away from our party, though I felt safe about letting my two older children drift about 10 feet away, knowing there are lifeguard eyes stationed around the attraction.
We then headed to the slides, where we had amazing fun! Our favorite ride was RUSH: A slide playing hip music with LED lights that flash as you slide by, though we also liked the HALF PIPE, which is something you have to see to appreciate!
Another one of our favorites is Keiki Kove, which is an interactive water rain-fortress with pulleys, ropes, water buckets, slides and a 1,000 gallon dumping bucket. If that doesn’t spell FUN for children 12 and under, I don’t know what does!
Another favorite? The snacks! The park has lots of snack options, such as popcorn, snow cones, cotton candy and ice cream!
We had a fantastic day at Hawaiian Falls, and can’t wait to go back! Make sure you connect with Hawaiian Falls on facebook for up-to-date specials (and check out the “Endless Summer Special” I saw on this board today!)
The waterparks are open to the public through Labor Day. Season tickets, day passes, special events and park information are online at hfalls.com.
