Cool off in the water

Kids can enjoy the Soak Station, a children's interactive water playground with 68 features including water jets, curtains and slides, bubbler jets and a 300-gallon tipping bucket. Toddlers can explore the Spray & Play area's 15 water jets and bubblers at zero water depth.

For adults, there's the 990-foot-long River Ride, a triple-flume water slide, and a wave-action pool. The pool is heated, so even when it's cloudy or windy, the water is just fine.

Red Oaks Waterpark is located at 1455 East 13 Mile Road between John R. and Dequindre roads in Madison Heights. For more information, visit the Red Oaks Waterpark website.
