5. Ocean Oasis Water Park & Beach Club: Wildwood
The second water park at Morey’s Piers, Ocean Oasis Water Park and Beach Club offers some of the same attractions as Raging Waters, such as the Rocket Raft Run, Shotgun Falls and a lazy river. But there are other options that may make the park a better fit, depending on the type of experience you want. For example, you can drop five stories in three seconds with the Cliff Dive water slide, or you can race against family and friends on the six-lane Wipeout! slide. Families can take their kids to the wading pool or Bonsai Beach, a playground that features water jets, climbing ropes, slides and more. If you want a kid-free experience, you can hit up Hot Springs Spa and grab a drink at the Water Lilies Swim Up Bar. Cabanas are available if you want private seating, shade and food and beverage service. According to past visitors, the park, which is closed during the colder months, is a great alternative to the beach for people of all ages.
6. OC Waterpark: Ocean City
Located in Ocean City, OC Waterpark offers a handful of attractions for kids and adults alike. Older guests can enjoy the twists and turns of the Serpentine Body Slide or slide off a short drop-off with the Splashdown slide. Other attractions that can work for all ages include a lazy river and the Sky Pond Journey, which ends in a pond that hovers above the lazy river. Kids can also get their fill with Lil Buc’s Bay, which includes a pirate ship playground. Past visitors note that the park is designed best for families with children, with fewer options for adults on their own. The park is only open during the warmer months, typically late June through Labor Day.
