It is that time again! Summer is just around the corner and so is the heat! Families young and old alike will be looking for a fun-filled place to stay cool. Stayin’ cool, at Summer Waves Water Park, is what summer is all about.

For the past 20 years, Summer Waves has provided a laid-back, family-friendly atmosphere for guests seeking a way to beat the heat. This year the park celebrates its 20th birthday, and while the park is 20 years old, it is looking younger than ever. Summer Waves’ maintenance teams have been busy during the off-season installing new equipment, re-surfacing slides and overall making the park experience better than ever!

Guests can look forward to a new and improved Natures Revenge water slide. The slide has been refinished to make the ride smoother and faster. More shading has been added throughout the park, including the Frantic Atlantic Wave Pool area. Parents and guests will also have the added benefit of new and larger lockers, renovated bathrooms that have antibacterial matting, and an updated First Aid Office in case of any small accident.

But the biggest improvement of all is the new attitude and focus on guest service and fun for all! This year you will see more of Dolly the Dolphin and all her friends as she celebrates a big birthday year. You’ll want to check the Summer Waves website to see all the exciting in-park events including karaoke events, Guitar hero contests, fireworks shows and more.

On May 31 Summer Waves will host a birthday celebration with Dolly the Dolphin. Visit the park for a character-filled birthday and fireworks after dark! Summer Waves will also have an Independence Day celebration on July 5 with fireworks, food, and fun. The Summer Waves season begins on Saturday, May 10th, and runs through September. Season passes are still available and can be purchased online. For more information, please visit www.jekyllisland.com/summerwaves or call 912-635-2600.
