Need to find a way to beat the heat then I have a great place for you, Raging Rivers in Grafton Illinois.
Conveniently located 45 minutes from the Gateway Arch, Raging Rivers is the ideal place for a day trip or weekend getaway.
In its 22nd season, Raging Rivers the park offers affordable entertainment that kids of all ages can appreciate. Thrill seekers enjoy the Runaway Rafts, a 600-foot long adventure through swift water and wild rapids to three pools; the Shark Slide flume, which floats riders down a 45-foot tunnel flume into a catch pool; the 500-foot dual Cascade Body Flumes that twist and turn down the natural hills and contours of the park, and the one-of-a-kind Swirlpool. The two-bowl attraction takes riders down a tunnel flume, then swiftly into a giant vortex and ends by dropping the guest into a deep pool of water, incorporating three rides into one.
If you are looking for a little relaxation, the park also features a 700-foot-long Endless River of cool, clear water that lets riders float along at a tranquil 2 ½ mile per hour pace in a continuous loop; the 18,000-square-foot Breaker Beach Wavepool, which allows swimmers to relax when the waves are “off” and “ride the tide” when the four-foot waves start to roll, and the “just for kids” Itty Bitty Surf City that features a pint-sized waterslide, splash pool, rain tree and tunnel area. Tree House Harbor is another great interactive play area, featuring a crawl tunnel, overhead rope pulls, tunnel slides and the ever-popular bucket that randomly spills 1,000 gallons of water.
Plus Raging Rivers offers active military personnel and their families a discount off the already low admission prices. An active military identification card will give each member of the serviceperson’s immediate family the chance to spend a full day at the park for only $11 plus tax per person throughout the 2011 season.
