Kentucky Kingdom and Hurricane Bay
937 Phillips Lane Louisville KY 40209 502.813.8200 www. kentuckykingdom. com
The list of wet and wild water activities at Hurricane Bay is exhaustive – but in a good way. Conquistador Canyon, Deep Water Dive, Forbidden Passage, Waikiki Wipeout, Plummet Summit, Voodoo Express and( my favorite) Mega Wedgie all sound fear-inducing and awesome. Milder cool fun is aplenty at the park in a lazy river, family splash park and milder slides and activities for smaller ones. The park is open from 11 a. m. to 6 p. m. and depending on where you are coming from, the $ 44.95 general admission and $ 39.95 child admission will also get you into Kentucky Kingdom.
