Plan the Perfect Family Trip to Slidewaters Waterpark, Chelan WA

One of the things that sets Slidewaters apart from any water park you’ve ever been to is the gorgeous, crystal-blue Lake Chelan views. Of course, once you and your family start exploring the 12-acre water park’s 12 water slides and other water features, you’ll be having too much fun to gawk at those lake and mountain views for long. Slidewaters is a top-rated water park in Washington State, nestled in the resort town of Lake Chelan, making it a perfect stop on your family summer vacation or an easy weekend or mid-week trip from Spokane or North Idaho.

Slidewaters caters to all ages and thrill levels, from the gentle curves of Bonzai Pipeline to the wild twists of Sidewinder. The Downhill Racer allows you and your kids to race to the finish side-by-side. For those under 48 inches tall, the Aqua Zoo is a safe and fun water play area, and the zero-depth beach zone features a 150-gallon tipping bucket and spray features. Families can spend some quality time together floating the Lazy River, which gives you a chance to check out those views again. Adjacent to Slidewaters, Lakeside Surf is home to the world’s largest stationary surf wave, where adults and kids ages 10 and up can give surfing this magical wave a try (surf session pass required).

Slidewaters operates from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day and offers discounted rates for children under 48 inches and free entry for kids three and under. A family trip to Slidewaters may end up being the most memorable adventure you have together this summer. Start planning your getaway at Slidewaters.com.
