About Zoombezi Bay
Kids, just look out the window. Can you see that lovely summer day just ready to be enjoyed? Are you feeling...COOL? Then why don't we head to Zoombezi Bay, where you and the family can make a SPLASH this summer season!
Zoombezi Bay is over 20 acres of water park fun, located right near the Columbus Zoo. It’s a place where thrill-seekers of all ages can find something exciting! Big thrill seekers can challenge themselves, little ones can enjoy pint-sized adventures, and those who just want to relax can float away in serenity.
With 17 state-of-the-art water slides, adults-only areas, a wave pool, and a kids' interactive play area, there is truly something for everyone in the family! The newest addition, the SoundSurfer, is a must-try! Imagine a five-person raft ride with LED lights and speakers where you even get to choose your own soundtrack—be it country, disco, or something else entirely! Prepare to take on 512 feet of thrilling drops, curves, and vortex loops before splashing into the pool below. Isn’t that exhilarating?
Don’t miss the Big Boa Falls, one of only six in the entire USA! You’ll be whipped from side to side and through enclosed tunnels before making a zero-gravity splash into the landing pool. There are also thrilling plunges that will blast you into the air, roaring rapids that demand navigation, and crashing waves in the wave pool that offer endless fun!
For the younger visitors or those looking for a more relaxed pace, the lazy river is the perfect way to unwind. Enjoy some fun body slides or watch the little ones under 54 inches play in their very own water wonderland. It's almost TOO much water fun in Ohio, but we’re excited to dive into it all!
