Nothing says summertime like lounging in the sun and living it up poolside. Both activities are encouraged at Wet ‘n’ Wild’s Memorial Day bash, which celebrates our nation’s heroes and the park’s shift to daily operation.

All rides and attractions will be open, so vets and civilians alike can work up an appetite on slippery slides. The event features an all-you-can-eat barbeque spread, which includes chicken, hot dogs, salad, western beans, corn on the cob, and sliced fruit available from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Highlighting the two-day celebration will be the nightly fireworks display at 9:30 p.m.
