Puerto Rico has water parks!
Some even overlook the sea, offering a beautiful view.
I grew up going to some of these water parks with my family.
In this article, I will share the three best water parks in Puerto Rico:
Las Cascadas Water Park in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, opened in 1985 as the biggest (and only) water park in the Caribbean.
The park closed in 2017 because of destruction from Hurricane Maria and then opened again in May of 2022.
Although it’s no longer the biggest, nor the only, it still holds up as the largest and most popular park in Puerto Rico. Las Cascadas is one of the largest water parks in the Caribbean.
The park has something for everyone, with six different water rides, a lazy river, a white-water rapids ride, a wave pool, a water agility course, and a kiddie pool.
The park is open from 9:00 am-5:00 pm during the summer, typically 5-6 days per week, and they are closed from Fall to Spring.
It’s best to call ahead, though, as their opening times have been known to move around.

Surf ‘N Fun is known for its surf simulators and has a wide range of activities for kids and families.
Located in San Germán, Surf ‘N Fun boasts on their website that they are the largest water park not only in Puerto Rico but in the whole Caribbean!
The park has lots of slides, a lazy river, adult and kid-friendly racer slides, a “crazy” river, a rock wall, snack shacks, tent rentals available, and more!
Parking is available for a fee and there are daily locker rentals.
If you have a hard time with Spanish, it might be a good idea to directly message or call the park, as the Facebook page and website are all in Spanish.
Surf ‘N Fun is located an hour and a half away from the BQN Aguadilla Airport, and 45 minutes away from the Ponce airport, on the southwest side of the island.

Writer at PuertoRico.com. Growing up in New York and spending my summers in Puerto Rico, I have always loved writing, travel, and animals. I began my career as a travel writer, and after many different jobs in media, I have settled back into what I love most. I enjoy the beach, exploring the island with my family, and coffee!
