Port clinton, oh, where are we going.
About this activity
The Watering Hole houses a number of fun and entertaining activites to spend the day as a family.
Go round and round with Typhoon Rush - a slippery curvy slide to keep you cool in summer, as well as Coral Reef - a fun and relaxing tube ride which takes you under some fun water features!
Adventure Island treehouse is full of slides and areas to play - just watch out for that tipping bucket!
If you need to dry off, Montego Bay Raceway will allow you to zoom around with your friends, trying to get past the finish line first, otherwise try and get that hole in one (you can do it!) on Castaway Island.
There is also a fun and colorful arcade with the latest games to entertain kids of all ages.
Don't forget to allow time to visit the safari and petting zoo - great for kids to come face to face with some amazing animals!
Probably the only time you will want to get caught up in a Monsoon!

16 Top Water Parks in Ohio
Explore the Buckeye State's best destinations for a splashing good time.
Getty Images
Ohio offers plenty of exciting water parks for all to enjoy.
Ohio is already known for its broad selection of theme parks with dizzying rides, from the award-winning coasters at Sandusky's Cedar Point to the 364-acre King's Island near Cincinnati. That said, the state also hosts an array of water parks that can keep you cool while giving you something to do this summer. Some of Ohio's best water parks are indoor, outdoor or both, and a handful are actually part of a larger amusement park resort.
If you're hoping to spend a few of the hottest summer days floating down body slides or twisting down tubes, these top water parks in Ohio can help you do just that. Read on to learn which parks we recommend for the whole family this year.
Pioneer Waterland & Dry Fun Park: Chardon
Located in Chardon about 40 miles east of Cleveland , the Pioneer Waterland & Dry Fun Park offers both wet and wild fun and plenty of dry activities to boot. Within the water play area at the park, guests will find several waterslides that measure six stories high, a lazy inner-tube ride akin to a lazy river and a 6-acre lake to paddle boats. You can also check out the activity pond to play water volleyball and basketball and traverse its water obstacle course. The Kidsland fun zone section of the park features other water attractions geared toward children.
Pioneer Waterland even has its own campsite, so you can bring your RV to the park or book a tent for several days of fun in the sun.
Address: 10661 Kile Road, Chardon, OH 44024
Castaway Bay Water Park: Sandusky
Less than 3 miles from the thrill rides of the main Cedar Point location, Castaway Bay lets guests get out of the sun for some water fun inside, bringing a taste of the Caribbean to Sandusky. Major attractions at Cedar Point's indoor water park include a variety of pools for all ages, a water coaster whose jets launch you uphill, several body slides and multiple hot tubs for relaxation. The park is housed in an impressive five-story structure designed to feel like a tropical island setting with its palm trees and inland lagoons.
Conveniently, Castaway Bay is also a hotel with 237 rooms and suites, some outfitted with separate bunk beds for the kids. Other resort amenities include a huge arcade, a craft center and on-site dining options.
Address: 2001 Cleveland Road, Sandusky, OH 44870
Soak City Water Park at Kings Island: Mason
With more than 50 aquatic activities to explore in Mason, about 25 miles northeast of Cincinnati , Kings Island's water park is one of the top summer attractions in Ohio. Soak City Water Park boasts three dozen waterslides of all thrill levels on top of its wave pools, rivers and lagoons; you'll find plenty to do whether you want to free-fall through a funnel, brave a wave machine or lounge poolside. One of Soak City's most popular offerings is the nearly seven-story Tropical Plunge, with six drop and tube slides for nonstop family fun. Admission to the water park also includes entry to Kings Island's entire 364-acre complex, and you can always splurge on a private cabana for the ultimate relaxation at Soak City.
Kings Island Camp Cedar allows families to set up camp only a mile from the amusement park for an overnight stay at the RV site or a glamping experience in one of the luxury cottages.
Address: 6300 Kings Island Drive, Kings Mills, OH 45034
Adventure Reef Water Park: Kettering
Adventure Reef Water Park is a 3-acre outdoor park in the Dayton suburb of Kettering created to serve families in the area. But travelers looking to get off the beaten path for some affordable fun can come in from anywhere to check out this aquatic amusement option. This small municipal water park promises fun with its splash pad, large water playground, two waterslides, pool for babies and toddlers, and plenty of chairs to relax in.
Kettering itself may not have much in the way of big hotels, but less than 10 miles away in the city of Dayton you can browse options for your stay such as the Marriott at the University of Dayton.
Address: 2900 Glengarry Drive, Kettering, OH 45420
Cedar Point Shores Waterpark: Sandusky
Cedar Point Shores Waterpark, formerly known as Soak City, is an outdoor water park situated within the Cedar Point amusement complex in Sandusky. The water park offers 18 acres of fun on its own, with interactive aquatic features for small kids and jaw-dropping waterslides for thrill-seekers around every turn. Shores Waterpark has winding tube slides and rides to keep you busy, and a meandering lazy river makes its way throughout the park for guests to cool off while relaxing in the sun.
For a convenient place to stay, book a room at the Hotel Breakers . This beachfront resort is located just steps away from the theme park and the water park – not to mention its pools and water playground mean you can partake in even more water recreation.
Address: 1 Cedar Point Drive, Sandusky, OH 44870
Great Wolf Lodge: Mason
Courtesy of Great Wolf Lodge
The Great Wolf Lodge location in Mason, about 25 miles from Cincinnati, makes for a lively weekend getaway in the Midwest. This indoor water park offers something for everyone in your crew to take part in, from a serene lazy river to drop rides, body slides and tube slides that hold several people at once. You can also spend time in the pools and hot tubs, whether you want to float the day away, enjoy an adults-only escape or teach your tot how to swim.
Great Wolf Lodge, as its name might suggest, also offers accommodations in the form of suites, some of which are themed and feature bunk beds for the kids. Park tickets are included with your nightly stay, though you can also book a day pass.
Address: 2501 Great Wolf Drive, Mason, OH 45040
Troy Aquatic Park: Troy
Troy Aquatic Park is a smaller outdoor water park geared toward families in the local community, but if you happen to be in Dayton during the summer you can always make the 20-mile trip north to spend the day enjoying this low-cost attraction. Guests who visit will find two waterslides, a drop slide, a heated baby pool, an interactive water play area, a pool with zero-depth entry and several large umbrellas for shade. The on-site Boogie Board Café offers concessions such as hot pretzels, pizza, ice cream and candy.
For a longer stay in Troy to spend a few days lounging at this facility, check out hotel options less than 3 miles away, including the Home2 Suites by Hilton Troy and the Residence Inn by Marriott Dayton Troy.
Address: 460 W. Staunton Road, Troy, OH 45373
The Beach Waterpark: Mason
The Beach Waterpark promises aquatic rides that range from mild to wild, including racing slides, a zip line and a heated wave pool with 750,000 gallons of water. Myriad other huge waterslides dot the park, including rides that plunge, twist and turn guests every which way. The "mild" aspect comes into play at the park's lazy river, which is 1,200 feet long and constantly moving at 5 miles per hour, or the luxurious spa pool complete with waterfalls.
A cluster of hotels sits less than half a mile away for easy access to The Beach, including the Hampton Inn Cincinnati-Kings Island and Super 8 by Wyndham Mason.
Address: 2590 Water Park Drive, Mason, OH 45040
Baylor Beach Park: Navarre
About 40 miles south of Akron, Navarre's unique Baylor Beach Park is more of a lake water park than a traditional amusement complex with water features. This attraction centers on two bodies of water: The 2-acre swimming lake boasts a 90-foot waterslide, kiddie slides, a splash area and diving boards, while on the 1-acre paddleboat lake families can make use of rented boats such as kayaks and water bikes. The park also has mini golf, volleyball courts and even a gem mine to keep the kids busy and entertained out of the water.
Baylor Beach Park also offers camping on-site so you can bring along your RV – but note that the campground doesn’t allow tents. If you prefer a hotel experience, book a room at The Inn at Amish Door in nearby Wilmot, only 3 miles away, for countryside views and Amish-style meals.
Address: 8777 Manchester Ave. SW, Navarre, OH 44662
Aqua Adventures at Land of Illusion Adventure Park: Middletown
The Land of Illusion Adventure Park, situated in between Dayton and Cincinnati, wows visitors from May through January with its beloved Halloween haunts and Christmas displays, but summertime is when its water park comes to life. Aqua Adventures is best known for its inflatable obstacle course right on the water, which tests the skills of brave young adventurers with monkey bars, a balance beam, rope climbs and more – and young kids get a zone all to themselves. Patrons can also practice paddleboarding in Paddle Bay, secure a beverage at Sandy Cove and Aqua Lounge, or zip down the inflatable waterslide.
For overnight accommodations, one close hotel option is the Hampton Inn & Suites Springboro/Dayton Area South, located only 7 miles away from the Land of Illusion.
Address: 8762 Thomas Road, Middletown, OH 45042
Uhrichsville Water Park: Uhrichsville
Uhrichsville Water Park spans 4.5 acres in northeast Ohio, about 60 miles south of Akron, with plenty of activities for small kids. This small outdoor attraction features a 18,000-square-foot heated pool and a child play area with zero-depth entry. Two waterslides drop directly into the pool, which can provide everyone in your crew with hours of fun. Families who want a day in the shade can rent their own cabana on-site.
If you want to stay only a mile away, consider booking a room at the Red Roof Inn Uhrichsville.
Address: 401 E. 12th St., Uhrichsville, OH 44683
Watering Hole Safari & Water Park: Port Clinton
This Port Clinton water park formerly known as Monsoon Lagoon sits about 15 miles from Cedar Point, so you can always visit both parks in the area for maximum summer thrills. Attractions found at the Watering Hole Safari & Water Park include a giant treehouse with four waterslides, a lazy river, several heated pools and three-story slide tower. The Coral Reef River Ride lets guests get pulled and twisted every which way while floating and having fun. This park also features a safari and zoo, a go-kart track, and gem mining.
For a luxurious and convenient stay, rent a waterfront townhome at The Bay's Edge, which sits less than half a mile away from the Watering Hole.
Address: 1530 S. Danbury Road, Port Clinton, OH 43452
Coney Island: Cincinnati
Steve Ziegelmeyer | Courtesy of Coney Island
Cincinnati's Coney Island – not to be confused with the New York City entertainment area of the same name – has evolved from an apple orchard on the Ohio River into a family-friendly water park since its 1886 founding. The park's Sunlite Water Adventure offers what's billed as the nation's largest recirculating pool; other Coney Island aquatic features include 130-foot waterslides, a floating obstacle course, a dive pool and more than 70 interactive play stations. The park's popular Cyclone ride sends guests splashing down 70 feet before dropping them into the main pool. Also included in admission are paddleboat rentals, mini golf and inflatable ax throwing.
Several hotels make it easy to stay nearby Coney Island, including Hotel Covington and the Aloft Newport on the Levee, located over the border in Kentucky, less than 10 miles from the park.
Address: 6201 Kellogg Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45230
Splash Harbor: Bellville
Set between Columbus and Cincinnati in Bellville, the Splash Harbor hotel promises family fun for guests who love playing and splashing in the water. The on-site indoor water park offers a waterslide, a splash pad play area, rafts to float on, a water basketball hoop, and pools and hot tubs suited to every age group. Also at Splash Harbor you'll find an arcade brimming with games, and in the surrounding area you can book a paddling trip on the Mohican River or check out the trampoline park.
A stay at this hotel comes with wristbands for the water park, a free hot breakfast and great dining options nearby.
Address: 855 Comfort Plaza Drive, Bellville, OH 44813
Kalahari Resorts: Sandusky
Courtesy of Kalahari Resorts & Conventions
Kalahari Resorts' Sandusky location claims to have the largest indoor water park in the Midwest, and as such features no shortage of incredible aquatic activities, including water racing slides, indoor and outdoor spas, a FlowRider surf simulator, a swim-up bar and a huge lazy river. In summer, visitors can also take advantage of the Zambezi Outdoor Waterpark and sample its adrenaline-inducing slides and huge Lagoon Pool. Kalahari offers other cool water-related opportunities, such as the chance to explore the ocean through virtual reality or take a lesson in becoming a mermaid or merman. For yet more summer fun – this time on dry land – the Safari Outdoor Adventure Park has you covered with climbing walls, animal encounters and mini golf.
You can book a day pass to the water park, but you can also get free entry with an overnight stay at Kalahari Resorts in your choice of rooms, suites and villas.
Address: 7000 Kalahari Drive, Sandusky, OH 44870

Every single time we visit the Safari Park, we stop by the Watering Hole restaurant to get lunch and watch the heards of large African animals walking around! It's absolutely magical!! Very relaxing environment. Always great service and kind servers! Food prices aren't cheap or outrageous. Our kids love coming here to eat. It just makes your day at the Safari Park that much more special. Only thing is sometimes they have an event hosted here which closes the restaurant to Zoo visitors. You can call ahead to make sure they're open the day you're going. Thank you Watering Hole for being such a great family spot to enjoy!
View of Rhinos from our table
Ok food, ok service gorgeous views. Had nachos and the pulled pork sandwich. Don't think you are coming here for the food. It's just mediocre. But the views are really lovely.
Watering Hole is great for primarily location. Food quality and service was what you would expect from a Safari Park. It's got some better options for food and drink than what you get at most of the Kiosk's. The staff is friendly enough and it has a great area to go and watch the African Safari area from a different perspective that most of the park has, so that is really cool.
The address might be confusing, but The Watering Hole is actually located inside Safari Park, overlooking the African wildlife plains. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, in an open air building with the look of a palapa. There's a small bar area, only four seats, and jungle park sounds abound. The menu is perfect for adults or children, with shareable, salads,, pasta and sandwiches, all reasonably priced. The kids menu includes Mac n cheese and chicken strips. There's a small dessert list, as well. Drink options include the usual, water, iced tea, coffee, fountain products, as well as beer, wine and specialty cocktails. Reservations are more than a good idea, as the park can get pretty busy. As one would expect, the staff is super friendly and accommodating. I think we might make this into a date stop during future visits.
The Watering Hole is located in the SD Safari Park towards the south end of the park near the tram rides. Reservations are highly recommended. Note, the restaurant was not taking any walk in's on a Saturday. Upon arrival, make sure you ask for a table close to the grass area. They gave us a table behind the bar and I couldn't see anything so I complained to the hostess and she moved us to a better table. The scenic backdrop of the safari just makes this restaurant an experience you don't want to miss. We took some amazing family photos. Definitely Instagram worthy. The menu is basic and the sandwiches & salads are ok. I recommend the pretzel appetizer. We nick named it the dinosaur pretzel. It was ginormous. Kids meals come in a souvenir bag with animal crackers and apple sauce. The margarita flight was delightful. We ended our meal with their brownie sundae. Highly recommended. The service was excellent and our party of 7 was satisfied.
This restaurant was not what I expected. It was an open sided hit design to match the African Safari region of the part it is located in. We ate fresh food, drank tasty libations, received exceptional service from the three ladies working hostess, service, and bar and the gentlemen who delivered our food from the kitchen were as polite and as accommodating as possible. We were sat at one of the best seats in the house also not rushed out of it. And the desserts were perfect as well. It gave my husband and I a date vibe within our day at the Safari. (We lucked out with the weather and the non-busy day of the establishment. Reservations are the best way to experience this location.). They even hold wedding here!!!
See all photos from Cynthia M. for Watering Hole
Let's face it: You're not going to the Wild Animal Park (technically the Safari Park now, but old habits...) for the food. You're going to see animals. And because of that, this is an amazing place. The food is all right, a little better than I expected but nothing to write home about. It's very nice, however, to take a break from the heat (there are misters too which are really nice since lunchtime can be so hot), get something to eat, and still have an amazing view so you're not missing out on what you're here to do and see. The service is also pleasant and fast, and I highly recommend a reservation. We reserved the day before, and when we got there I was really glad I did because the wait was an estimated 30 minutes.
The view is fantastic!
Food is actually not bad. Service on the other hand- zero stars. 30 minute estimate to sit down which turned into 45. 15 minutes to even be spoken to before ordering, 30 minutes for food to arrive with a half empty restraint. All in all wasted 30% of my day for an average chicken club Sammy. Absolutely horrible.
If you're going to the San Diego zoo wildlife park, I'd definitely recommend the Watering Hole, 1000% make a reservation in advance to have either lunch or dinner here! (You can make it on OpenTable ;)! ) The view is an 11/10. You are practically in the safari park, with great views of the mountains and animals. We had 3 rhinos lounging on the hill as our view. From a food and beverage standpoint, this is nothing to write home about. But I will say for an amusement park I thought this food was good and got the job done. For 2 people the lunch was around 100 bucks with tip. Note we got 2 cocktails and an appetizer. What we ate: - the hummus plate. Surprisingly was refreshing and what we needed after a hot day. But they put strawberries on there. Very bizarre... - pulled pork sandwiches - the buns seemed like they were straight out of the bag, not toasted or anything. The pork was good but they could have put way more on the sandwhich. The homemade potato chips were FIRE!! Get them! - watermelon margarita - I expected authentic but it was more like a premade sugary watermelon mix. Very sweet. But it was yummy. Overall the staff was great and the view was incredible! So make that reservation days prior and enjoy!! :)
Let's be honest for a minute -- you don't come to the zoo for stellar, mind-blowing food. That being said, the selections at the Watering Hole are pretty dang delicious for an amusement park meal. This spot is a little pricey, but has solid quality and tasty food. And, more than anything, it's worth it for the incredible views. Eating here feels special, because you can enjoy your meal while looking out over the safari park's open space where the animals roam. Grab a drink or a snack and watch the animals walk by. The food might not change your life, but it will be satisfying and the experience itself is enough to make it worth it. I'm always excited to come back and eat here because of that alone.

Acrobatic hippo prompts laughter, comparison to synchronized swimmers
A hippo at a game reserve in South Africa had been given the nickname Hipney Spears by a tourist because of its dance moves in a waterhole. Then, on a recent safari, it performed a number, as if on cue.
Hildo, the name the Umkumbe Bush Lodge on the Sand River knows the hippo by, suddenly turned upside down with all four feet out of the water, prompting loud laughter among the tourists on safari.
“He’s stuck,” one tourist could be heard saying in the video.
“That is so funny,” another said.
The Umkumbe Bush Lodge posted the video on its Instagram page .
"He kept us entertained and in awe as he kept rolling around on his back almost as if he is a part of a synchronized swimming team," the lodge wrote. "This old bull was all by himself peacefully resting and rolling around the watering hole."
Wrote one commenter on the post, "Hipney Spears has all the good dance moves! I’m jealous.”
