Big Splash Waterpark
Slides and Splash Zones
Big Splash is Alexandria’s waterpark — a mix of indoor and outdoor water features that gives families a destination beyond the lakes. It’s connected to a hotel, making it a popular option for visiting families and a rainy-day backup for locals.
What’s There
Water slides of varying intensity, a lazy river, splash zones for younger kids, and pool areas for swimming. The indoor section means weather doesn’t have to ruin a waterpark day. The outdoor section opens in summer and adds more space when the weather cooperates. It’s not Wisconsin Dells scale, but it doesn’t need to be — for a local waterpark, it delivers.
For Younger Kids
The splash zones and shallow pool areas are well-designed for toddlers and young children. Water temperature is comfortable. The environment is controlled and safer than open lake swimming for very young kids. Parents can relax slightly more than at a beach — slightly.
Day Passes & Staying Over
Day passes are available for non-hotel guests, making it accessible for locals. Hotel packages that include waterpark access are popular for families making a weekend of it. Birthday party packages are available. Check their website for current pricing — rates vary by season and day of the week.
Tips
Weekday visits are less crowded than weekends. Bring your own towels if you’re on a day pass. The on-site food options are standard waterpark fare — functional, not remarkable. Lockers are available for valuables. And yes, the rules about swim diapers for babies are enforced.
