The entire aquatic facility holds over 115,000 gallons of water with a full list of attractions for thrill seekers, sports enthusiasts, and the little ones.

Main Water Park Attractions

  • Blue Comet – This is their signature water slide that starts over 3 stories high and winds you around in two figure eights before dumping you into a catch pool.
  • Lazy River – Families can relax as they float around the Blue Comet. It’s not the biggest loop, but the fact Rays Splash Planet put a lazy river in their indoor water park is still impressive.
  • Meteor Showers – Dump Buckets casually fill up before suddenly spilling over onto unsuspecting kids.
  • Moon Beach – A smaller pool that has a beach like feel with shallow waters that gradually get deeper. Kids love to splash around in this attraction.
  • Saturation Station – The most popular area for kids that features several small slides, water cannons, and dump buckets.
  • Sea of Tranquility – Ray’s Splash Planet also provides a few lap lanes and a section where you can enjoy water basketball and volleyball.
  • Sun Drops – Before you enter Moon Beach there is an obstacle of floor jets that may get you if you aren’t quick enough.
  • Vortex – A unique attraction where the pool uses jets to push you around in a circle.
