MARYLAND

Here are our picks for the best water parks in Maryland:

COLUMBIA ASSOCIATION  

One of our favorite places to play in the summertime is the Columbia Association pools. With locations across Howard County Maryland, Columbia Association offers 23 pool options, including two mini water parks!

There are three convenient ways to attend the Columbia Association pools. You can join as a member or pay a daily drop-in fee. Columbia residents have a reduced daily fee. Non-residents are also welcome to visit.

Several pools have hot tubs, slides, beach entry, and water features too! Here is the full list of all 23 Columbia Association outdoor pools:

The Columbia Association also has four indoor pool options with a similar fee structure. These are great options for rainy days and for off-season swimming.

SIX FLAGS HURRICANE HARBOR 

Hurricane Harbor is included with Six Flags America tickets. Located right outside DC, enjoy an 800,000 gallon wave pool, three kids play areas + over 25 water slides.  

NORTH ARUNDEL AQUATIC CTR 

Known as Maryland’s best kept secret, this indoor water park is under 30 min from Baltimore + Annapolis. A great choice for rainy days, it is extremely affordable…a beach entry pool, 134 ft water slide, kids play areas + water buckets plus a poolside spa for adults!  

YOGI BEAR’S JELLYSTONE PARK 

At Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Campground near Hagerstown Maryland, enjoy a huge pool, twin 400-foot water slides, splash pads, a pirate ship + more! **Lazy river is coming soon!  

VIRGINIA WATER PARKS

WATER COUNTRY USA

The Mid-Atlantic’s biggest water park + a member of the Sea World brand, attractions at this Williamsburg park range from kiddie splash areas to thrills like the Cutback Water Coaster + Vanish Point with a 300-foot speed slide! 

GREAT WOLF LODGE

This is another Williamsburg family favorite! Not only is there an epic indoor water park, but also a bowling alley, ropes course, interactive MagiQuest game + daily activities with the Great Wolf Kids characters.  

CHERRYSTONE CAMP RESORT

Further south, this is another hidden secret! Plenty of space to play with 5 swimming pools + a WETZONE splash park. Plus, pedal boats are free to use during your stay!
