Sun Splash opens for ‘game-changing’ season
City-owned, privately operated water park to feature new wave pool, plethora of promotions
Southwest Florida’s largest waterpark is ready to welcome guests in for a new season, which includes a myriad of special events and a new attraction.
Sun Splash Family Waterpark in Cape Coral opens for the 2025 season this Saturday.
The park will go to daily Spring Break hours of operation on March 14 through 30. In April and May, the park will operate Thursday through Sunday before going to daily summer hours on May 23 through Sept. 1.
In the fall, the park will be open Friday through Sunday and weekends only in November, as well as the week of Thanksgiving excluding the 27th.
“This year will be a game-changing season for Sun Splash as we introduce the all new Paradise Cove Wave Pool this summer,” said Chief Marketing Officer, Ron McKenzie. “This long-awaited attraction will make Sun Splash the place to be this summer.”
The new Paradise Cove Wave Pool presented by Ryco Marine will open Memorial Day Weekend. It is located at the back section of the park near the three drop slides: Terror Tube, Thunder Bump, and X-Cellerator.
“The wave pool was several years in the making as we partnered with the city of Cape Coral to make sure it was the best it could be,” said McKenzie.
The 12,000 square foot wave pool will cater to all ages and provide features such as a zero-depth beach entry, adjustable wave patterns, additional shade and luxury cabanas, a wave pool video screen, interactive beachfront water features, and a new seating area and deck for more than 300 patrons.
“Guests will be able to enjoy the wave pool in many ways, including just relaxing to the sound of waves or enjoying a movie on the large digital screen.”
Season Passes are now on sale for $59.99 (limited time) with a 40% savings off of the regular price. Children age 2 and under are admitted free. Season Pass Perks include: unlimited visits, early entry, two free “buddy” tickets for a one-time visit, souvenir cup, discounts, and special events access.
“The price is going up soon and it is the best way to enjoy the park with unlimited visits, in-park discounts and other great benefits,” McKenzie said.
Sun Splash has a variety of special events taking place all season long. Season pass holders can access these events as well as park guests with a one-day admission ticket purchase.
“Simply put, we listen to our guests and try to put together an event line up that appeals to all ages,” McKenzie said.
