The seasonal, outdoor water park offers dozens of rides and attractions, including slides, wave pools, and volleyball courts. Bring a cooler, and grill beneath the park's trees, book a cabana, or grab a tube for a speedy ride.
The Basics
Grill up some lunch, cool off in the pools, and enjoy a few adrenaline-fueled rides at the family-friendly El Paso park. For the best value at Wet n' Wild Waterworld, buy reduced-price tickets in advance. You can also check out the park's package deals, which might include an all-day refreshment discount with souvenir cup, tube rentals, and skip-the-line access for most tube rides.
Things to Know Before You Go
Make the most of your visit with a cabana rental; most cabanas include a grill, single-ride tubes, chairs, and a food prep area.

How to Get There
The most convenient way to visit Wet n' Wild Waterworld is to drive. The park is north of El Paso, off the I-10, on South Desert Boulevard. Prebook convenient VIP parking for preferred spaces, or opt for first-come, first-served parking.
When to Get There
Wet n' Wild Waterworld is a seasonal attraction that opens for summer in May and closes around Labor Day. Weekends are the busiest; to avoid crowds, visit on a weekday for shorter lines. Plan to enjoy Wet n' Wild Waterworld on a sunny day, since rides may close during inclement weather, and the park does not offer refunds.
Visiting the El Paso Zoo
Families looking for another kid-friendly attraction should check out El Paso Zoo, located about 23 miles (37 kilometers) from Wet n' Wild Waterworld, about a 30-minute drive away. This top El Paso-area destination is home to plenty of exotic animals on its 35-acre (14.1-hectare) property. Kids appreciate the playground's towering tree houses and its hand-painted carousel. Tickets are available online, and the park offers discounts for kids, teens, and seniors.
