Younger visitors will find themselves entertained at Kids Cove, a play area with interactive water activities designed for younger visitors. Each of the activities is designed according to the waterpark’s exotic island theme to make visitors feel like they’ve been swept away to a tropical paradise.
For adults, the Island Waterpark has a total of six bars where guests can enjoy craft beers, curated wines and signature cocktails. The Paradise Adult Island is a 10,000 square-foot space overlooking the waterpark and ocean that includes DJ entertainment and Bliss Pool, an adults-only pool facing the Atlantic Ocean with the only swim-up bar in Atlantic City.
At the daytime, these venues are an oasis for parents and adults to dance, escape, relax and socialize while the kids enjoy the waterpark.
The adults-only area includes Peloton bikes, manicure stations, chair massages, work spaces, VIP cabanas and more.
When night falls, Island Waterpark transforms into a nightlife venue, also for adults only–the first of its kind at any waterpark.
There are two attractions not available at any other indoor waterpark in the United States:
- a more than 1,000-foot Coconut Zero-Gravity Coaster that takes guests on a ride suspended high above the waterpark and offers spectacular panoramic views of the ocean and boardwalk; and
- the 300-foot-long RipTide Zip Line.
