The splash pad here sits inside the waterpark side and includes several pint-sized slides for younger children, while a wave pool, lazy river, and full-size slides keep older kids busy. One daily ticket also covers the adjoining amusement park rides; kids 2 and under enter free.
When to go. Peak summer highs in Bessemer average 91°F. Mornings and late afternoons are far more comfortable than the middle of the day, and shade is worth planning around.
How long it's open. Roughly 10 weeks a year, from May to August. Seasons shift year to year and municipal pads often close early for maintenance, so check before a long drive.
