Fact-Checking the Entry Policies at Paradise Beach Waterpark: What Is Allowed?
By Maya Lin-Takahashi
Q1: Are personal coolers permitted if they only contain ice and fruit?
A1: No. Hard-sided and standard picnic coolers are barred regardless of contents. Small, soft-sided lunch bags containing certified baby formula, infant purees, or medically verified dietary necessities are the only exceptions allowed through security.
Q2: Can guests bring their own flotation devices for children?
A2: Guests may only use life jackets that feature an official, legible United States Coast Guard (USCG) approval stamp. Inflatable water wings, decorative pool noodles, and generic blow-up rafts are barred from all main pools and slides.
Q3: What happens if an item of swimwear has a small pocket zipper?
A3: Lifeguards and ride attendants will prohibit riders with exposed metal or hard plastic hardware from using high-speed body slides to protect the fiberglass flumes from scratching. Such swimwear is permitted in the lazy river and general wading pools.
Q4: Is parking included with the purchase of an admission ticket?
A4: Standard daily admission tickets do not include parking fees, which generally cost $10.00, $15.00 per vehicle. Select top-tier season pass memberships include complimentary or discounted parking privileges.
