Come Join us at the Aquatic Zoo Water Park! By: Kenzie Neabuhr

 Want a fun place to spend time with friends and family? Then head over to the Aquatic Zoo in Mt Vernon, IL, where you can swim all day, hang out with your friends, or go down crazy water rides. They are open from 8 a.m to 5 p.m. To get into the family fun water park, you will need to buy a wrist band that fits all wrist sizes. They have different prices for each age: kids under two are free, kids ages 2-17 and seniors 65 and older are $6, and adults are $8.

For babies and toddlers, they have a mini kid section where they can play safely. They have a gate surrounding the area and doors only parents can open with a simple handle. They have lounge chairs for the parents to sit on. There are two mini water slides in there for the kids to slide down. They also have a splash pad with fun little pictures of animals for babies.

The water park has four different water slides for kids to use. Two of the water slides are for little kids in the kid section. They have a big yellow slide that you go down with a one person tube or a two person tube. They also have a green slide that goes extremely fast but you can’t use a tube. For safety reasons, they have a height limit for the yellow and green slide so kids under 48 inches may not ride them.

For their pools, they have a pool that only goes to about 4 feet for little kids. On the other side of the water park, they have a bigger pool for teenagers and adults. There are two diving boards, one short one and one high one on the deeper side of the pool. On the other side you can just swim or relax. They put a 15 minute break in every hour to where people have to stop jumping off the diving boards so people can swim in the deeper part. If you just want to relax on a summer day, they have a lazy river.

They also have a food stand and tables if you get hungry from all the swimming. They have a different variety of food and drinks such as hot dogs, pizza from Domino’s, nachos, pretzels, bosco sticks, and Dippin Dots. For drinks, they have any type of Pepsi products, water, lemonade, and tea.

I think on a hot summer day, the Aquatic Zoo is a great place to go. The address is 1700 South 34th Street, Mt Vernon IL 62864. They have a very high rating at about 4.6 stars. Think this is a water park you’d like to see in the future? You can find more from the official website for Mt Vernon IL. If you have any questions call us at (800) 252 5464.
