Know Before You Go

Health and Safety Tips to Make your 2021 visit safe and FUN!

We will be open for the 2021 season and are excited to welcome you and your family to Water Country!

In response to COVID-19, we are operating under modified conditions and will be open Wednesday-Sundays only in 2020. Please review our Calendar for a full list of operating dates and hours this season.

Please note that not all attractions will be open. A complete list of attractions can be found in the FAQs located at the bottom of this page. Please be sure to review all information provided before purchasing your admission.

We want you to know the health and safety of our Guests and Team Members is our top priority. We are fully committed to creating the cleanest and safest environment possible for your visit.

The way we will operate this summer is significantly different from what we are all used to as we adapt to the new landscape created by COVID-19. While we are committed to enhanced standards in an effort to keep you as healthy and safe as possible, there remains an inherent and elevated risk of exposure to COVID-19 in any public place and any place where people are present. Please, read this page fully to ensure the best experience possible as you plan your visit to New England’s Largest Waterpark.

Planning a Visit

In order to comply with key health and safety measures surrounding limiting capacity, social distancing, and touch-free payment, planning a visit to Water Country will look different this summer.

  • General Admission Ticket Holders will need to register for the date they wish to visit in advance, and will be asked to select their date when purchasing tickets.
  • If the date you wish to visit is not listed in our online calendar, we have already hit our capacity limit for that date, and you will need to choose another day.
  • All those wishing to enter Water Country (Guests, Team Members, Suppliers, and Contracted Partners) will have their temperatures scanned before entering the park.
  • Any person with a temperature of 100.0°F or higher, or displaying other symptoms of COVID-19, will be denied entry.
  • Facial coverings are also required for all entrants, except children under three. Facial coverings are NOT allowed on any attraction or pool and are not necessary while waiting in line at an attraction or walking between attractions.

Visitors will find many more new proactive measures in place at Water Country this summer.


While we are committed to enhanced standards in an effort to keep you as healthy and safe as possible, there remains an inherent and elevated risk of exposure to COVID-19 in any public place and any place where people are present. People who do not show symptoms can still spread COVID-19. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, senior citizens and persons with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable and at higher risk for severe illness. Guests should familiarize themselves with guidance from theCenters for Disease Control & Preventionand evaluate their risk in determining whether they should attend our facilities. If you or a family member are ill or think that you may be getting ill, please postpone your visit until you are well.

By visiting our facility, you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19.
