Water parks throughout South Carolina will be opening soon for the 2021 season – and we couldn’t be more thrilled. We can’t help but hope this summer will turn out to be much more normal than the last, and few experiences say summer more than a fun day spent at an adventurous water park. On that note, Whirlin’ Waters in Charleston will be opening in less than two weeks – so start planning!

This summer, Whirlin’ Waters turns 20. Opened in 2001, the Lowcountry water park is primed for family fun all season long.

Launching from 60 feet up in the air, visitors spill down the slide to the pool at the bottom. And the raft is big enough for more than one. But remember: the more people you pile on, the faster that raft will go!

When you’re finished on the Washout mentioned above, head to the Rip Tide.

From there, head over to the Rollin’ River and relax while the current carries you ‘round and ‘round this refreshing lazy river.

For the littlest members of the family, Whirlin’ Waters has smaller slides and the Lily Pad Lagoon, which is the perfect depth for splashing around.

Kiddos who are a bit past the toddler stage will go wild exploring the Big Splash Tree House.

Back to the slide attractions, the Washout’s other slide is loads of fun for multiples on the same raft.
