Smallish but creative area that's basically a very creative splash pad for the toddlers who may not be able to swim or aren't quite ready for the action in the other nearby water adventures in the park. Over the years I've taken my little ones here a few times and usually the giant swan draws them in. They will run around and play for a bit and have a good time. Overall, very nice addition to the water attractions in the theme park and helps include all ages and sizes in the fun times at the park.

Big Surf is a massive water/wave park attraction located in hurricane bay of Kentucky kingdom in…read moreLouisville, Kentucky. Big Surf is a very popular attraction and was actually the original Hurricane bay attraction. When it first was added to Kentucky kingdom it was the only water attention so it was actually just called "hurricane bay". As that portion expanded and continued to grow it took on the moniker of Big Surf. It is a 750,000 gallon wave pull that gets up to 6 fr waves. If you go to the deeper end it can get pretty intense and I'd reccomended being a competent swimmer. Very fun but I really wish they would limit the amount of people and eliminate the inner tubes here. I always get super frustrated because it gets so crowded and your always bumping into people and tubes. I went here as a kid and loved it but as a parent it gives me anxiety. They usually have 2-3 lifeguards on site around the wave pool but it is so crowded and the big waves throw people around that it can be dangerous for little ones. I'd really oblige by the 48 Inches to be alone rule here and even then if someone isn't a strong swimmer I'd recommend some type of flotation device. Overall this is a super fun wave park. Probably the best one I have ever been in. It stimulates a big ocean wave as good as the real thing.

Deep water Dive is an intense, nerve racking and very fun body slide ride at the hurricane bay…read moreportion of Kentucky Kingdom in Louisville, Kentucky. This massive body slide is one of the worlds largest and is 12 stories tall and features a 377 foot drop with 121 feet of it coming at a 70 degree angle. I've rode this body slide multiple times and each time it doesn't get any less nerve inducing. First off you climb an insane amount of steps. For those who count steps you will get them by riding this ride. At the top you have a platform that offers beautiful views of the city and park. However on some days with a slight wind you will sway back and forth which adds to the thrill and unsettling feeling. The workers put you in a plastic tube casing and you stand up against a backboard with your arms and feet crossed. Below your feet's is a clear see through floor that will momentarily be removed from underneath you. As stated the first half of this slide is practically straight down. So if you fear heights do not look down. The machine has a 3...2...1 countdown but that isn't what triggers the floor being opened. The operators hit a button so there is no timing and bracing yourself for the fall. Some workers have some fun with it and drop you at different parts or pretend it's stuck and then let you fall. They of course still make sure you are in there properly and safe. The drop itself will literally take your breath away. Most of the time by time I can recollect my thoughts or breath I'm on the backstretch at high speeds and water is splashing me in the face. I personally love this ride. The epitome of a thrill ride. As stated Above. If you or your little ones do not do heights or scare easy then this isn't for you. It's no fun climbing the steps and I can imagine it wouldn't be fun climbing back down if you get up there and decide against it (happens a lot). The ride itself does have a min height requirement of 48 inches and max weight of 300lbs. It is a single rider so you are by yourself. The first time I took my kids alone I was stuck with "do I go first and hope they don't chicken out or do I go second and hope they don't freak out at the bottom or wander off". So just some things to consider before riding. Overall 5 star experience for me. Fun, thrilling and my absolute favorite water park attraction in the hurricane bay section. If they got me an elevator lift to the top id be more inclined to ride it back to back to back.

Long time staple of Kentucky kingdom. At the old six flags theme park it had a Batman theme and was called the "penguin" I believe after the famed Batman villain. Pretty cool group tube ride that takes you over small waterfall bumps and falling water. Not too many bid drops so you won't necessarily get drenched but you will get wet. Overall I really like this ride. It's a nice combo on a hot day of you want to cool off and don't want to suit up and head to hurricane bay. I'm glad this ride was resurrected for when Kentucky kingdom reopened a few years ago.

We paid $46 to get into the pool and were there less than an hour before one of the camp kids…read moredefecated in the large pool where the older kids swim. Since I have older children, I asked for a refund because we were leaving. Staff told me they were "fixing the pH" and planned to reopen the pool. I made it clear that my children were not getting back into a pool that had just been contaminated with human waste. Their response? "No refunds." So just be aware: the "No Refunds" policy apparently applies no matter what--even when the reason you're leaving is a biohazard that shuts down the main pool shortly after you arrive. Extremely disappointing customer service. We paid for a day at the pool, not to deal with a sewage incident and then be told we're out of luck.

Some very unfortunate news especially for the kids: Oldham County confirms aquatic center needs…read morerepairs, won't open in 2022. Oldham County Judge-Executive David Voegele said the Oldham County Aquatic Center Pool at Wendell Moore Park won't open this year, but contrary to social media rumors, it won't permanently close. In a news release Thursday, Voegele said "structural and mechanical problems" last year led to a point where repairs need to be made now. "In each off-season, the Parks Department has worked with a pool vendor to identify and complete needed repairs," Voegele said. "However, last year problems increased - marked by burst pipe connections, failing pumps, a separation of the concrete pool deck from the pool, and a serious water leak which continuously drained chlorine from the pool. Chlorine is critical to keeping the water clean. The situation is such the pool cannot open and the needed repairs will require about 18 months to complete."
