New Water World Entrance Plaza

Opening Summer 2025

The entrance to Water World is getting BIGGER complete with brand new nearby Potato Patch and Swim Shop food and retail shops. Our goal is to create smoother entry and exit reducing lines and congestion on busy days. The all-new Potato Patch and Sundeck Cafe food and beverage location will feature flame-broiled burgers and fresh-cut fries including the recently introduced loaded fries featuring chili sauce and bacon! Swim Shop will feature a wide-array of Waldameer & Water World souvenirs and merchandise with a focus on swimming attire and accessories.
