Rules & Regulations

Inclement weather is always a possibility with visiting an amusement or water park.

Summer Waves management reserves the right to close attractions when weather conditions do not permit safe operation of the park.

If attractions are closed for 90 continuous minutes, a rain pass will be issued electronically to your original admission ticket. Summer Waves is not responsible for lost or stolen admission tickets.

No rain passes will be issued for closures less than 90 continuous minutes.

Admission fees are non-refundable.

If severe weather causes the park to remain closed for the entirety of a day it would otherwise be open, tickets can be changed to another date or a refund will be issued.
