WildWater Adventure is the water park connected directly to Michigan’s Adventure and first opened in 1990. Over the years, it has grown into a sizeable park with a mix of body slides, tube slides, family raft rides, a lazy river, and no fewer than three wave pools.

Some of the most interesting attractions include the hillside-built Mammoth River and Mine Shaft family raft slides, the three Black Hole slides of Snake Pit, and Funnel of Fear, a large ProSlide Tornado. With its size and variety of slides, WildWater Adventure offers plenty to do, and together with Michigan’s Adventure it can easily fill an entire day.

Cedar Point Shores sits right next to Cedar Point on the shore of Lake Erie. The water park originally opened in 1988 as Soak City and continued to grow over the years before taking on its current name in 2017.

The lineup includes tube slides, body slides, a mat racer, two river attractions, and a large wave pool. Some of the standout attractions are Point Plummet, Riptide Raceway, and Lake Erie Nor’Easter, along with plenty of areas aimed at families and younger guests.

What really sets Cedar Point Shores apart is the setting. Lake Erie is right next door, while Magnum XL-200 runs straight through the water park. It gives the place a backdrop that is hard to find anywhere else.

Michigan’s Adventure

Theme Park:	Michigan's Adventure (since 1988)

Michigan’s Adventure in Muskegon, Michigan, first opened in 1956 as a small animal park called Deer Park. Over the years, it gradually grew into a traditional American amusement park and has carried its current name since 1988. WildWater Adventure was added in 1990 and sits right next to the amusement park.

Shivering Timbers is easily the standout coaster, joined by two more wooden coasters with Wolverine Wildcat and Zach’s Zoomer. Thunderhawk, Corkscrew, and one of the relatively rare Arrow Dynamics Mad Mouse coasters round out the lineup, along with plenty of classic rides and water attractions.

The combination of the amusement park and WildWater Adventure is a big part of what makes Michigan’s Adventure stand out. Together, they offer a varied day filled with coasters, classic rides, and plenty of ways to cool off.
