Waterslides, great food & more!
Great Waves offers some of the most unique and fun water attractions in Northern Virginia. Spend the day sampling the waterpark's seven slides. Start with a pair of speed slides in which users climb a dizzying staircase before sliding at high speed into the water below. Twist and curl as the cool water rushes you to the pool below on three swirling waterslides–two open and one covered. Smaller guests can enjoy two open slides in the play pool.
Of course, the park’s centerpiece is the giant wave pool. Grab a tube, bob and weave in the surf as undulating waves provide an ocean-like experience. For the little ones, our Kids Zone and giant splash pad are great places to cool off while having a great time! Recharge with pizza at Surfside Pizza, or lunch and snacks at the Riptide Café.
