Summer is on all of our minds. How can we squeeze in some more hours of relaxation before we all have to begin picking out sweaters? School starts soon and the end of the warmth is near. Especially in Chicagoland, you never can predict when the cold will start. Luckily, I’ve got tickets to one of the best water parks around and the job of sharing all about it!
1. Don’t skimp on the friends. Like many aspects of summer, Raging Waves is best enjoyed in a group. The bigger the better for those that have different interests. Those that are after a tan can chill while the thrill seekers can test their limits on the number of slides they go down.
2. Prepare to have fun in the unlikeliest of places. Be it in a line or in the car or in the middle of downtown, you should always expect to give up your plans in favor of what has everyone laughing. Laughter is always the winner when it comes to summer.
3. Dress for the weather. If you require sunscreen then don’t forget it! Wear hats, shades, shoes you can kick off at a moment’s notice. Summer is a wild ride of ever changing opportunities. Chances are you will come across something good to do right around the corner. Anything from picking berries to testing out the newest slide The Wonambi.
4. Expect to go until you can’t anymore. Especially if you are spending your day with those balls of energy also known as kids. You should anticipate spending all your time outside or active as they try to pack in everything they possibly can. They are experts at spending a day at the waterpark. They go until they are tired and then add on an extra hour. Just as long as they’re the only ones falling asleep in the car.
5. Don’t put off until tomorrow what you could do today. If you’re hesitant to do anything, then do it anyways. In the summer, Chicagoland is always changing. There is always something new to do so if you set your mind on something then stick to it. Attractions like Raging Waves are a great option for an entire day of fun rather than rambling all over the place. All that fun in one place for all ages.
There is lots of fun to be had at Raging Waves located in Yorkville south of Chicago. This waterpark is the largest in Illinois! You can’t go wrong with the biggest! From the lazy river to the kid’s area to The Wonambi there are a lot of options on how you want to have fun. You might as well try them all!
