New Water World Entrance Plaza

New for 2025!

The entrance to Water World is getting BIGGER complete with brand new food and retail locations. Our goal is to create smoother entry and exit reducing lines and congestion on busy days. The all-new “Tasty Tater” 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.

Drink Stations

By Popular Demand!

You’ve asked, we’ve answered! Opening in Summer 2025 are TWO drinks-only stations. Conveniently located by the eating area behind the Whac-A-Mole game and near the Giant Wave pool, you now have faster, more-convenient access to refreshing beverages!
