To keep you Safe and Happy

For your safety and peace of mind, Big Surf employs professionally certified lifeguards trained in the most current water safety and lifesaving techniques.   We have an emergency first-aid station situated inside the park which allows us to handle almost all medical situations that arise inside the park. However, much like the “no running in the house” laws of your childhood home, we do have some rules and guidelines.

Safety Rules

• Children under the age of 12 should always be accompanied by an adult.
• You must be at least 48” tall to ride the Space Bowl and Zambezi Falls.
• Height, weight and health restrictions are strictly enforced.
• Non-swimmers should be accompanied by an adult who can swim.
• Face masks that cover the nose are not allowed.
• No running or diving is allowed anywhere in the park.
• We reserve the right to disallow individuals access to rides which we may deem to be unsafe for them due to their age, size or other physical limitations.
• Infant's diapers must be changed in restroom changing stations only.
• Please obey the instructions of the park staff at all times.
• It is recommended that guests less than 48" tall and those who are not confident in their swimming abilities use life vests, a limited number of which are available free of charge in the park.
• Only U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal life vests are permitted in Big Surf Waterpark.

General Rules

• No coolers, food, beverages or glass containers are allowed to be brought into the park.
• Smoking and consumption of alcoholic beverages are permitted ONLY in the Surf Club.

• Casts are not allowed on any of the slides.

Appropriate Attire

• Swimwear with buttons, snaps, rivets or zippers are not permitted.
• Shoes are not allowed on any rides.
