With the tag line of the first family of water parks of the U.S., guests won?t be wrong in expecting above-average family amenities from all branches of the Schlitterbahn Water Parks. Such amenities include free use of the park?s life jackets and inner tubes as well as free parking space. Guests are even welcomed to have picnic inside the park?s facilities, bringing their own food with them if they want. The only things they?re prohibited from carrying are alcohol, anything with glass containers, and grilling equipment.

The Kansas City branch of the Schlitterbahn Water Park is made more unique by the fact that it?s the lone river tubing park in the state. In fact, guests can explore the park?s entire area simply by taking its Transportainment River System, which escorts guests around in floating tubes. Another first and only ride offered by the park for Kansas is the Boogie Bahn, which is the wave-challenging surfing adventure.

Other exciting attractions at the park include the Blitz Falls, a tube chute-styled whitewater rapids adventure, the King Kaw Rapids River ride, and the Torrent River, which is the longest tidal wave ride in the world.
