Park FAQ

Food and Drink are NOT permitted in the park. Guests are allowed to bring a coffee in a disposable cup, or one plastic bottle of water. No reusable beverage containers (such as Stanley, Rtic, Yeti, etc will be allowed). Food for infants and medical needs, or allergies are exceptions, and must be cleared by a Supervisor or Manager. All bags are subject to search. Food brought to the front gate will be asked to be returned to your vehicle or thrown away. This is a zero-tolerance policy and strictly enforced.

Breakwater Beach is a family-oriented park. Appropriate swimwear must be worn at all times. All swimwear must be clean, non-see-through, with no offensive language, no over-exposure, and must fit properly.  Prohibited clothing includes, but is not limited to: street clothes, khakis, gym shorts, demin, sports bras, thongs, or other undergarments. Clean T-shirts are permitted for sun protection but not permitted in water. Loose fitting clothing is not allowed on any body slide. For safety reasons, no full face dive/swim masks are allowed to be used in the park.

No! The pass is available for purchase any day both parks are open. It can be used on multiple days or on one day! (Ex: Waterpark admission one day, and the Ride Wristband on the second day)

Yes, although we cannot offer a quicker access to the towers as there is only one staircase and no back entrances for the slide towers, we do recommend stopping by guest relations or asking the admission windows for a special wristband. The band is small and not conspicuous and will allow staff to know there may be a need to make accommodations. All written and verbal safety warnings and instructions, including height requirements, for each attraction apply to all guests. Prior to participating in an attraction, guests must be able to demonstrate an ability to understand, participate, and follow all attraction requirements. This includes, but is not limited to, demonstrating an ability to maintain the proper riding position, and paying attention to and complying with safety instructions. Park personnel reserve the right to deny entrance to an attraction based on safety considerations.

Yes, the fee is $5 off admission. No parents with children under 11 years old will be allowed to spectate while their children are on the slides…”If your child is in the water, you should be too.” 

We do not have a special location for spectators to stay within, and our policy is to focus on the safety of all of our guests, not to watch if someone is in the attractions who should not be, thus we do not offer a bigger discount for this admission.

The admission of the park is for all guests 2 years old and over.

When a storm approaches our area, the park will typically remain open; however, the attractions will close if there is danger. Rides will reopen when it becomes safe. We understand that this will disrupt your day but we hope to make it as minimal of a time as we can control. Should the park attractions remain closed for longer than 45 minutes, we will be happy to exchange your wristbands (not receipts) from today for a pass for another day. In order to obtain your free passes you will have to bring your wristbands (not receipts) from today to the admissions windows where you entered. Our friendly staff will exchange your wristbands for a return ticket for another day based on the time of day for the delay and the time you entered the park.

* If you choose to stay in the park until the rain passes you will not be given a readmission pass upon exiting.

* If you have chosen to leave and receive a pass, and decide to return later in the day, you must use your pass to re-enter. Once a band is exchanged it is no longer valid.

*In some cases the park will close once most of the guests have left. This depends on timing, length and severity of the storms. We will do everything in our power to reopen, however sometimes it is impossible.

* Please be sure to take all belongings with you in case of a storm, if the park closes you will not be able to reenter to return to your locker.

Service Animals

Trained service animals are welcome at Breakwater Beach Waterpark.

Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take a prescribed medications, calming a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties. Service animals are working animals, not pets. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals. Miniature horses that have been individually trained to do or perform tasks for people with disabilities will qualify as service animals.

Emotional support animals, comfort animals, and therapy dogs are not service animals. Other species of animals, whether wild or domestic, trained or untrained, are not considered service animals. While emotional support animals or comfort animals are often used as part of a medical treatment plan as therapy animals, they are not considered service animals. These support animals provide companionship, relieve loneliness, and sometimes help with depression, anxiety, and certain phobias, but do not have special training to perform tasks that assist people with disabilities.

The handler is responsible for the control, care, supervision and behavior of the animal. The animal shall always be under the control of its handler. The animal shall have a harness, leash, or other tether, unless either the handler is unable because of a disability to use a harness, leash, or other tether with the service animal, or the use of a harness, leash, or other tether would interfere with the service animal’s safe, effective performance of work or tasks, in which case the service animal must be otherwise under the handler’s control (e.g., voice control, signals, or other effective means). An animal that behaves in an unsafe, uncontrolled or unacceptable way is not permitted on the premises. Examples of unacceptable behavior include uncontrolled barking, jumping on other people, or running away from the handler. An animal that poses a direct risk or threat to the health or safety of others is not permitted on the premises. The animal must be healthy and vaccinated in accordance with applicable laws. The animal must be housebroken.

We may ask for the removal from the premises of an animal that is not housebroken, or that is out of control, or whose handler does not take effective action to control it, or that behaves in an unsafe, uncontrolled or unacceptable way, or that is not healthy and vaccinated in accordance with applicable laws, or that poses a direct risk or threat to the health or safety of others.

Animals are not permitted on slides or in the water attractions. Our slides are not equipped or designed for accessibility to or safe ridership or use by animals. While a handler rides a ride or is in a water attraction, or is otherwise not available for the control, care, supervision and behavior of the animal, they must have another member of the handler’s party assume control, care, supervision and behavior of the animal.

A Service Animal “Relief Areas” are located outside the park, as we do not have areas inside the park. Owners are responsible for disposing of their animal’s waste.
