Park Information
Splashdown Vernon is a family waterpark perfect for all ages! The park features 10 waterslides, an extra-large hot tub, many amenities, and relaxing VIP Cabanas – all overlooking the extraordinary view of Swan Lake in the Okanagan.
Formerly known as Atlantis Waterslides, the waterpark has operated as a family-favorite for over 35 years! Located 5 km north of Vernon in beautiful British Columbia, just a short drive from Kamloops & Kelowna. The ever popular tube ride, River Riot, has been voted “Best Family Fun” attraction in the Okanagan Region.
Now under new ownership, from the owners of Cultus Lake Waterpark & Adventure Park, major upgrades & expansions are on the horizon! Big plans for the park will be rolled out over the next few seasons to bring more family fun to the Okanagan.
Plan Your Day!
To help you plan the best day possible for your visit to Splashdown Vernon, consider the following tips:
Choose Your Day
- The early summer is usually quieter – from June (opening day) to mid-July
- You definitely will get more sliding in on cloudy days or even if it rains. The water in our pools and slides is heated and the concessions are always stocked with hot drinks and plenty of hot food too. We also have a giant hot tub!
- During our summer season, weekdays are less busy than weekends.
- Arrive early and stay late. Lineups are the shortest at beginning of the day and tend to shorten up during the last hour before closing time.
What to Bring
Now that you have selected your day it’s time to pack your supplies.
- Swimwear suitable for watersliding. Suits with metal objects are not allowed as they will scratch the slides.
- Sunscreen and a hat, which are also available for sale at the park should you need it.
- Lawn chairs to enjoy the poolside lawn areas. There are also plenty of picnic tables and shade umbrellas available for FREE on a first-come-first-served basis (no reservations except for school bookings in June)
- Cold drinks. Remember, ALL beverage containers entering the park must be commercially labelled and sealed. Open drink containers and alcoholic beverages are not allowed.
- Snacks
- Blankets and towels
- Do not bring inflatable devices, other than life jackets, as we can not allow them in the pools. They block the view of the water safety personnel and can be unsafe.
Oh! And don’t forget to bring the kids!
