Water Country USA is a seasonal outdoor water park at 176 Water Country Parkway in Williamsburg, Virginia, distinct from the nearby Busch Gardens Williamsburg theme park. Its family offerings include interactive splash areas such as Rock-n-Roll Island and Lil’ Surfers Splash Pad, the 1,500-foot Hubba Hubba Highway lazy river, and Surfer’s Bay, a 23,000-square-foot wave pool with waves described by the operator as reaching four feet. Larger slides and water rides offer additional thrills. The park is not open year-round; check its operating calendar before planning a visit.

Suggested interest ages
Suggested interests: ages 0–17
Editorial age guidance
Editorially suggested for ages 0–17 as a broad family outing: the official visitor page describes splash pads and attractions for little ones as well as family rides and larger attractions. Babies and toddlers can attend, but individual rides may not suit them and posted requirements apply; this is an interest suggestion, not an admission or ride rule.
Visitor planning notes
The official site reports Water Country USA closed for the 2026 season and welcoming visitors back in 2027; it operates seasonally, so confirm dates and hours on the official calendar before travel. FAQ notes admission may be temporarily suspended at capacity. Diapered children must wear waterproof protectors. Swim attire and ride-specific clothing restrictions apply; check signs. Consult the operator's ride restrictions and supervise children closely around water: ride height/eligibility rules do not guarantee safe suitability for an individual, and the operator advises following ride instructions and only riding when in good health.
