Sun Safety & Staying Cool
With 20 acres of splash-filled fun under the sun, it’s important to stay safe while soaking up those summer rays! Heat exhaustion and sunburns can sneak up quickly, so here are a few tips to help you stay cool and comfortable during your visit:
- Hydrate often: Be sure to drink water regularly, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Drinking fountains are located at the Interior and Exterior Restrooms, and multiple drink stands are available near the Splash Works entrance and by the Black Hole slide.
- Apply sunscreen: Use broad-spectrum sunscreen and reapply every two hours, especially after swimming. Don’t forget those often-missed spots like your ears, shoulders, and feet!
- Seek shade: Take breaks from the sun by relaxing in shaded seating areas throughout the park.
- Dress smart: Wear a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and lightweight cover-ups when you're not in the water.
- Forgot something? Stop by Muskoka Beach Wear for sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, and other sun-safety essentials.
Watch for signs of heat exhaustion, including dizziness, nausea, excessive sweating, or headache. If you or someone in your group isn’t feeling well, visit the First Aid station for assistance.
