We are open on weekends in the spring, daily during the summer, and weekends during late summer / early fall. Hours of operation vary with time of season. Click on Hours/Calendar for a detailed list of operating days, hours of operation, and special events.
No coolers or outside food and beverage allowed inside the park. A covered designated picnic area is located just outside the main entrance and access in/out of the waterpark is easy.
Appropriate swim attire is to be worn when a guest is at Castaway Cove Waterpark. Castaway Cove is a family Waterpark therefore g-strings, thongs, “speedos”, and swim attire made of see-through material when wet or dry are not allowed according to Park Policies.
Outside flotation devices (ex. tubes, rafts, etc.) are prohibited as they may cover water surfaces of attractions preventing lifeguards from seeing their area of responsibility. Appropriate ride vehicles for attractions & lifejackets will be provided free of charge on a first-come, first-serve basis. Rental tubes will also be available.
For instances of inclement weather Castaway Cove will temporarily close the attractions and ask guests to take cover until such time as management deems it safe to re-open the attractions. It is the policy of Castaway Cove not to give a “rain check” in the event of inclement weather.
If you or a member of your party are separated just ask any member of the park staff for assistance. Separated parties will be escorted by park staff to the Group Sales office. In accordance with park policy we will take every effort to reunite park guests who are separated. It is always a great idea when visiting an entertainment facility to have a meeting place designated amongst your party in the case of separation.
