Save the Date Now for the Season Opener of Illinois’ Largest Waterpark
When your family needs a thrilling day of fun in the sun this summer, look no further than Illinois' largest waterpark; Raging Waves in Yorkville!
Summertime Fun
Since my family moved into a new home that has a pool in the backyard, we have quickly become pool people. Don't get me wrong, we have always loved swimming, but now we're the don't-get-anything-done-on-the-weekends-because-we're-floating-in-the-pool kind of people.
We may be spoiled with our own relaxing way to beat the heat at home, but that doesn't mean we don't need to add some waterpark action into the mix each summer.
Waterpark Fun in Illinois
Our neighbors to the North may be home to the "Waterpark Capital of the World", but Illinois also has its fair share of great waterparks to choose from. Six Flags Hurricane Harbor in Rockford or Gurnee are two great places to check out, but if you want to do your water fun up BIG, you need to visit Raging Waves Waterpark in Yorkville.
