1. Clementon Park & Splash World: Clementon
Part of the Clementon amusement park, Splash World has eight attractions, including thrill rides as well as options for families and children. The Torpedo Rush dual slide stands 60 feet tall with a trap door for a quick free-fall experience. You can also race your friends and other visitors on the Vertical Limit slide. Other attractions include a double-headed tube slide, a 23,000-square-foot wave pool, a lazy river and river rapids slide. For younger visitors, the Polynesian-themed Laguna Kahuna covers more than 13,000 square feet and includes slides, play platforms, wheels, waterfalls, bubbles, streams and a 422-gallon water bucket. Kids will also enjoy the wading pool and pirate ship at Shipwreck Bay. Many previous visitors like the fact that admission to the water park is paired with admission to the theme park, and you can easily spend an entire day between the two. However, others noted that the park can be overcrowded at times, which can affect cleanliness.
2. Sahara Sam’s: West Berlin
Located in West Berlin, Sahara Sam’s features one of the few full-fledged indoor water parks in New Jersey, along with an outdoor park for use during the summer months. The indoor park has a dozen notable attractions. You can race a friend with the dual mat-racing tube slides, relax in the leisure pool, enjoy the lazy river or test out your surfing skills. Other attractions include a playground, complete with a water bucket, tube slides, an obstacle course, a set of basketball hoops, a wading pool and more. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, you can step outside and relax by the leisure pool with a drink from the bar, ride the waves in the wave pool, do some lap swimming and let your kids play in the wading pool and playground. Visitor reviews are a bit mixed, with some saying that the staff was incredibly helpful and others mentioning a relatively strong chlorine smell in the indoor section of the park. You can also rent one of the outdoor cabanas, which comes with two deck chairs, two lounge chairs, a table and four complimentary bottles of water.
