Every summer my boyfriend, friends and I buy season passes to the one and only, Splish Splash waterpark located in Calverton, Long Island. What better way to beat the sun and cool off? The park is open 7 days a week from 10:00am-7:00pm during the months of May through September. The waterpark includes roughly 30 rides ranging from mild to extreme.
One of my favorite rides is the Alien Invasion, a tube slide that spins intensely. My other favorite ride is the Bootleggers Run, which is known as a water rollercoaster without rails. It goes uphill and downhill at various speeds creating a thrill through your body.

Despite the awesome and thrilling water rides the park also has a wave pool, a kiddie park, food court, and a live parrot show. Every visit with my friends is a new adventure! Additionally, the travel channel ranked Splish Splash as one of the best water parks in the United States. I can't wait to go back this summer!
