Lockers will be available in our Thunder Bay and Alpine Springs areas only. Tube Valet will not operate on these days.

Are there days when Water World will not open due to weather?

Yes. We are an outdoor park with all water attractions, and there may be days when we do not open for guest comfort and safety.

These decisions are typically made by 9am and the website is updated accordingly. You may also call 303-427-7873 (SURF).

We consider the temperature at park opening, forecasted high temperatures, cloud cover, wind, and precipitation.

What happens if it rains during my visit to the park?

We will close attractions when unsafe conditions are present and, if possible, will re-open when weather conditions are safe to do so in our immediate area. Weather conditions are monitored by Water World Management in conjunction with a professional weather service.

If attractions are closed for more than 60 minutes due to unsafe weather conditions, guests in the park will receive a full-day or mid-day raincheck ticket, valid for the current or following season. Mid-day tickets are issued for closures after 1:45pm and are valid for entry at 1:45pm on a different day.

To receive your raincheck ticket, you must present your ticket or birthday wristband at the Ticketing Services booths before leaving the park. Cabana guests will receive rainchecks from their cabana host.

No refunds are issued regardless of time spent in the park. There are no refunds or rainchecks on incidental expenses such as Personal Tube Rental, Tube Valet, etc.

Certain tickets, such as Tots and any ticket marked “no raincheck issued on this ticket” are not valid for rainchecks.

I received a mid-day raincheck during a previous visit, can I upgrade it to a full-day ticket?

Yes. To upgrade your mid-day raincheck to a full-day ticket, visit our Ticketing Services booths. The cost to upgrade to a full-day ticket is $25.99 + tax for the 2025 season.

I have an Early Entry Enabled Ticket. How does that work?
