My Splash Pass

The park offers Special Events and programming at various times throughout the season. Most Special Events (such as May 27th-May 29th and Back to Pool Days) are capacity limited, with a portion of the overall event capacity reserved specifically for Splash Pass guests.  Splash Pass guests, depending on pass type and day of week validity, are welcome on a first-come, first-entry basis, until the Splash Pass capacity is reached.  Additional events, such as the Drone Show and our Bow Wow Dog Beach Days are not eligible for complimentary Splash Pass entry.  For more information, please visit our hours page or reach out to us.

Due to staff impacts from a school calendar change, the park will be operating on a modified schedule from Tuesday, May 27^th through Thursday, May 29^th. These three days will feature modified operating hours and attraction mix. 

In your Splash Pass package, you’ll find your wristband(s) for your order.

If you have more than one wristband in your order, please look at the back of the band.  Each band will have the first letter of the guests first name, followed by the first letter of the guests last name.  For example, Winnie Hyland would have the initials of WH.

In the event of the same first initial for multiple guests, you’ll find the first and second letters of the first name, followed by the first initial of the last name.

Pass wristband are color coded:

• Value Splash Passes (Monday-Thursday) are green.
• Preferred Splash Passes are Purple.
• Elite Splash Passes are Orange.

• Lost or Forgotten Splash Pass Wristbands may be replaced at the main entry Guest Services for $5 (for the first replacement) and $15 for each additional replacement transaction.  Once replaced, the original band will be disabled and cannot be used again if found.   After pass replacement, our team will walk you to the turnstiles for biometric confirmation (must match the original pass).  If biometric confirmations fails, a photo ID matching the passholder’s name and photo likeness is required.
