Water parks in Illinois offer up some serious fun.
Cool down in the summer sun with water slides, wave pools or lazy rivers, or relax on a lounger while the kids play. Or enjoy the water all year round in one of Illinois' indoor water parks.
Dive On In: Illinois Water Slides
Looking for a rush? These water parks have some of the best water slides in Illinois. At Six Flags Hurricane Harbor in Gurnee, enjoy thrills and spills on the dramatic Hurricane Mountain and dizzying Tornado. There’s more Six Flags Hurricane Harbor fun in Rockford, where water slide highlights include Typhoon Terror and Riptide Rush.
