With up to 55 interactive features, a wading pool and several levels of play, younger children 48" and under can explore the full water playground, while parents relax on the area's white sand "beach," complete with lounge chairs galore.

The children's area also hosts an "island-themed" party from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., giving kids a chance to dance and play games for prizes.

Caribbean Cove is the newest addition to the theme park, which neighbors Six Flags Great Adventure.
