Kids of all ages will love Obstacle Island, an inflatable obstacle course with monkey bars, climbing towers, slides, and more. Pricing varies depending on which attractions you want to visit. You can come and watch for free. Feel free to bring the kids and watch while they have the time of their life! The Shark Shack offers food and drinks, including adult beverages. There are also trained staff on hand to assist you, and no experience is required. Visit Shark Park and try out a new kind of waterpark.
