Four Ways to Get Wet in the Palm Beaches
Want to wade, splash, plunge, play, get drenched, float or sunbathe? You can do it all in the Palm Beaches. Water fun is never far, and available in many different styles to match your family’s mood. Everything from thrills to luxe water-related activities are sure to keep the family happy and entertained. So what can you do beyond boating for water fun at this luxury destination? Consider these Four Ways to Get Wet in The Palm Beaches:
Lion Country Safari:
The unique animal encounter theme park in Loxahatchee, Fl. would not automatically associate with water other than keeping animals and tourists hydrated, right? Well, surprise! Lion Country Safari offers an interactive water spray area that is perfect for little ones to cool off after all the animal adventures and encounters. The “Safari Splash” is open daily starting at 10 am and it is part of your admission ticket. Changing areas and restrooms are available just in front of the Safari Splash, so it is pretty convenient.

Cool Mom Tip: do everything the park has to offer before splashing. Kids might not want to leave the water once the fun has begun! Also, paddle boats on Lake Shanlee are complimentary if you rather be on rather than in the water.
Rapids Water Park:
Slides, lazy rivers, wave pools, thrill water rides and even a brain drain are all available at Rapids Water Park. The park is located in Riviera Beach.
Open from March to October, but only weekends in September and October. This park caters to every water loving age group. There is a splash area and tame slides for the wee ones. Height restrictions are in place for every other slide and ride, so go on and play on!
Cool Mom Tip: South Floridians usually seek outdoor activities early morning or late afternoon so getting a cabana or space to leave your things might be difficult. Lockers are available for $40.
Pools:
Of course there is no shortage of pools in The Palm Beaches. My favorite pools are the ones at the luxurious Eau Palm Beach Resort and Spa. The award winning spa has its own unique pool that invites to total relaxation before or after any of the many services offered. Isn’t this simply amazing?
Besides the spa, you can also achieve tranquility at the adult pool of the resort which has a beautiful floor design and gorgeous outdoor shower, not to mention the phenomenal view out to the ocean.
Alternatively, shake things up at the active resort pool where flamingoes and dolphins have been spotted entertaining guest!
Beaches:
Miles of seemingly endless beaches await you at The Palm Beaches. I love the feeling of having your own private beach up here. Down South you know our beaches are crowded year round but not at The Palm Beaches where even the waves are better too. I spotted a few surfer and body boarders giving it a go in The Palm Beaches.
Staycation For Water Lovers
Come live it up at The Palm Beaches water lovers! To my fellow South Floridians, true paradise awaits us an hour drive North of us. Come make your staycation be a memorable splash! You can’t miss out on discovering the fun that awaits you. How will you get wet first in The Palm Beaches?

I have always wanted to go to Palm Beach! It sounds like an amazing escape.
I would love to go to the water park! sounds so awesome and so much fun! but to be honest, I am also very fine lying on my towel in the su ahah
The Palm Beaches look like a great vacation destination. I’ve actually never been to Florida at all but I’d like to go one day.
What some absolutely amazing things to do in Palm Beach – I am loving the look of the water parks and you can never beat being by the sea.
Florida is so beautiful! I love waterparks and while growing up my girls did too – so much family fun! Cherish every moment of the summer – it’s evaporating much too quickly.
Those are some great tips for moms. 🙂 … I would love to go to palm beach one day 🙂
This place looks wonderful! My family would have a blast here–we love beaches! Plus that pool looks fun!
I am looking forward to checking out Lion Country Safari. We are going to be in the area this winter. I am sure it will be a big hit with the kids.
I wish the UK could bask in the time of weather Florida has atleast a few weeks a year as that would make wanting to get wet that much more fan.
I love the water park. It look so fun and exciting. Thanks for sharing.
Lol i was going to say just get in the water! But these are definitely all different ways. The spa looks pretty cozy with those green seats.
Count me in! My next summer destination will be Palm Beach. I like the idea of family going outing like so. It looks so fun!
After reading this I’d like to visit Palm Beaches ! It looks so fun and the beach photos looks so beautiful.. 🙂
Oh my gosh – I was born and raised in Florida and have never visited any of the places that you’ve mentioned. I would love to of the grandkids to Lion Country Safari, and of course, they would love the water park. On our next trip “back home’, I’ll have to see if family would like to go visit The Palm Beaches!
Wow! We are going to have to set this on our list of places we need to go. My son would love the Lion Country Safari.
That is one awesome looking water park! I love that it has something for everyone. it’s not just for the kids.
The adult pool and those super cool chairs sound awesome! I would love to hang there while the kids ham it up in the other park areas.
These are all fun ideas. We spend a lot of time at the beach and local water park in the summer.
I’d love to take my family to the Palm Beaches! There seems to be an endless amount of water fun for everyone to enjoy!
Florida is always a good getaway spot! I want to actually hang out in WPB as a trip idea so thanks for this info!
Palm Beach is such a beautiful place. I haven’t been there in forever! I didn’t know there was a water park!
I’ve never been to the Palm Beaches yet but it looks like so much fun!! I took my son to a similar splash pad area and he absolutely loved it! It was great for smaller kids to be able to run around safely and cool off! Thanks for the tips and for sharing!
This makes me miss the beach especially now that we’re saying good bye to summer and welcoming the colder months of the year. I think these are all great ways to enjoy Palm Beach and what it has to offer.
There are so many ways to make memories and keep cool! I love the beach, but appreciate knowing we can cool off in different ways. The kids will love all of the splash pads and slides.
Weeellll, this looks like some places we need to hit up. Both mom AND the kids can get what they want 😉
I miss the ocean! Always wanted to go to Palm Beach but have not had the chance… yet! Someday!
What an amazing place. It all looks like fun and there is so much natural beauty there. I need to get back to Florida and see my friends and family.
Beautiful is not even enough to describe this place! I have a cousin who lives in Florida. She must promise to take me to these places when I fly over to visit. The beaches are so inviting!
Such a beautiful place for the whole family. I love those hanging chairs, there are so lovely and perfect for relaxation.
