Old Forge is where the fun never stops, especially for families looking to cool off and get away. When you make your way through the Adirondack Mountains to the entrance of the Enchanted Forest Water Safari amusement park, you'll be greeted by the massive, unwavering Killermanjaro. Some go straight for the park's biggest water slide and slip down at 30 mph. Some prefer the wave pool or a lazy, lounging river ride. Either way, New York's largest water park is a great way to beat the heat.

What to expect

water safari old forge ny hours

A child floats down the Raging Rapids ride at the Enchanted Forest Water Safari in Old Forge.

Water Safari: The highlight of this amusement park, easily, is feeling like your in a wet, splashy, life-sized version of shoots and ladders. There are hours of high-speed slides, kid's slides, pools, tube rides, lazy and not-so-lazy rivers. You can go up and down these with a buddy on a double-tube or fly solo. Snacks and refreshments are scattered throughout the park to keep you hydrated and happy as you slide the day away.

Enchanted Forest: The Enchanted Forest has been overshadowed by it's partner water rides, but for those looking for a break from the chlorine, the rides at the northeastern part of the park are classic carnival rides like the scrambler and Ferris wheel.

Calypso Cove: For turf group activities, Calypso Cove offers rock climbing, go-karts, arcade games and bumper boats. Nearby the park itself, you can also find a handful of mini-golf courses.

I remember spending every summer here as a child so i was delighted to bring my daughter here on a family road trip! She had the best time! The souvenirs were severely lacking- im wondering if it is because of covid but as a kid i remember so many branded trinkets- we would have spent SO much more money had they had some more fun/better options!!

Well since i'm from the south i'd give it a 3. I came during summer time and totally didn't expect it to be like kinda in the woods and so it was 71 out to me that was pretty cold and i mean personally i got a weird vibe being there i think it was the fairytale area but it was. nice park and no long lines they said it was heated water but it wasn't but it was pretty good but you could probably find somewhere better

Had a great time with my wife and kids. Lot's of water rides and rides for little kids. Will come again.

It so much fun there. They have many great water slides. I love the one that drops you down.

Fun in the sun. Get wet. I have been coming here since I was a kid. The place offers somthing for my kids and offers somthing for myself. Please get a pic with Paul Bunyan on your way into the park. I've been doing it for years I love every bit of this park. Now that I'm older the lazy river is all I need on hot days. But the kid in me needs to feel the rush of the big slides. They have somthing for everyone here. This is mainly a water park with a few dry rides. They also have a little story book walk with thungs like the Cinderella and hansel and Gretel. The staff are excellent. They are freindly and helpful. The park is well kept and clean. I'm very happy they keep this place up I plan on coming when I am a grandparent and getting my picture taken with Paul Bunyan.

We just got home from spending the day here. We had our family and my sister, her husband and her kids. Every employee was super friendly. We didn't bring any food in so bought lunch, cost was less then we expected for a water park and tasted yummy! We had such fun that our car was one of the last ones left in the parking lot on our way out. The employee at the exit, Leanne, was super nice to us and told us to have a great night, which after spending the day working we were surprised how pleasant she was. I'm sure I would have been counting the minutes to leave work. Highly recommend this place for a fun family activity.

Met the grands and their mom here for the day. They are ages 9-15. All of them enjoyed the park, a first-time visit for them. They especially liked the Water Safari. /// The park is small enough that we felt we could comfortably let the kids go off on their own, periodically checking in with the adults. Some things we joined them in doing. // Nice-looking picnic area, as well as other areas with tables for people to use for a hub as well as a picnic lunch. As is to be expected, food/beverage prices in the park are higher than we feel comfortable spending; but, the park does not discourage people from bringing their own food and beverages. Many places to grab a lounge chair to relax and take a load off the feet. // There seemed to be plenty of supervision throughout the park. // It isn't the newest, most modern waterpark BUT it is fine for an affordable family outing.

Came here last weekend with my daughter's Girl Scout troop. My kids are 9 and 6 and we hadn't taken them here yet. This water park was a great size. When you walk in you're greeted by a giant Paul Bunyon statue and walk through a nursery rhyme themed area to get to the rides. When you walk in you're greeted by a giant Paul Bunyon statue and walk through a nursery rhyme themed area to get to the rides. I particularly remember those from my childhood when my parents brought me here. They have a handful of dry rides and a slew of wet attractions for the hot summers. It seems like they have 2 water park sections. One in the back and one in the front. The one in the back is near the dry kiddie rides and has a faster flowing lazy river which my kids loved. Trek up a little hill and you can get to the tidal wave pool which was one of my kids' favorites. They also have lots of water slides and tube rides. They have a good number of restrooms and changing areas scattered throughout the park for the crowds. I noticed a small arcade type area for some variety. We had a lot of fun. The kids didn't want to get out of the water. I am sure we'll be back some time in the near future!

This is mostly a waterpark, but does have some other amusement rides. It is the only waterpark I've been to that rents tubes out. I guess the idea is that if you rent a tube, you don't have to wait as long (just wait in the line for the slide, not wait in the line for a tube and then wait in the line for a slide). Seems to me they would be better off doing away with this. A friend of mine rented a tube the two days they came here and someone stole it both times. Not sure if it was someone who didn't understand it was a rented tube or if it was someone who wanted to turn it in to get the deposit. We had a good time during our visit. The park is a little run down, but we had fun.

Ultimate Waterpark

Enchanted forest water safari.

Enchanted Forest Water Safari

Sadly, the Killermanjaro speed slide with a 280-foot long descent where you reached speeds of over 30 miles per hour and the foam mat racer Serengeti Surf Hill were retired after the 2019 season. Fortunately, however, the fully enclosed Bombay Blasters speed slides remain, offering a disoriented descent in complete darkness that ends by blasting riders out several feet above the splash-down pool. It's a classic water park thrill ride.

For the 2020 season, three new rides replaced what was retired. Serengeti Stampeded is a new 293-foot long, four-lane mat racer that begins with enclosed, intertwined tubes. For thrill-seekers Mamba Strike and Killermanjaro's Revenge are respectively 285-foot and 207-foot long speed slides with a drop capsule.

Also, not to be missed is Raging Rapids an exciting white river that sends riders roaring down a twisting hillside tube chute.

Other rides include The Curse of the Silverback a double-rider tube ride that sends riders careening down a 100-foot drop into a giant 40-foot bowl that spins you in circles before flushing you into the splash pool below. Families can ride together on the Cascade Falls raft ride, one of the best of its kind in the country! Water Safari also has a wide selection of water rides sized just right for young children.

In addition to the water park, there are 8 classic amusement park rides, including a Ferris wheel, Rock-O-Plane, sky ride, and miniature train.

Water Safari New Rides 2021

An Enchanted Time at Water Safari – Old Forge’s Awesome Water Park

Last updated on August 11, 2021.

It’s no secret that the Adirondacks is one of my absolute favorite places on this planet. If you’ve been following along on Instagram , you’ll see it’s been full of mountain views lately! Every summer growing up my parents would take my brother and I camping up at Old Forge. Some of our favorite childhood memories were made in days at Enchanted Forest Water Safari exploring the storybook area with our best friends. In the evenings we’d return to our campsite to watch out for bears (no joke). Water Safari is not only the biggest water park in New York state, but it’s rated one of the best in the country . It’s also one of TripAdvisor’s top choices! Intrigued? I bet you are. Find out what makes Water Safari in Old Forge one of the best summer destinations.

Me at Enchanted Forest

This article was originally published in 2019. In 2021, Enchanted Forest Water Safari invited me to come back to check out the new water slides and update the article. Thanks, Water Safari!

How to Save Money at Water Safari in Old Forge

Purchase your ticket at a local business.

By buying your ticket ahead of time, you’ll be able to save over $7 off your admission! You can find pre-sale tickets at local grocery stores like Price Chopper and Wegmans.

Get more than a day’s visit with the Siesta Pass

If you arrive at the park after 3pm (or 2pm on the days they close earlier), you can pay admission for the remainder of the day and get a FREE pass to return again the next day . Best. News. Ever. My recommendation? Arrive after that cut-off and enjoy all of the dry rides. Then, return in the morning to spend the day by the pools sunbathing and getting soaked on the wet rides! No worrying about changing your clothes or having enough time to fit it all in.

Book a Stay ‘N Play Package

The Water Safari Resort has two accommodations available. If you’re looking to spend a few days in Old Forge (which I highly recommend), check out their Stay ‘N Play Packages . Guests who stay at either of the properties receive discount tickets to the park.

First up is the Water’s Edge Inn across the street from the park. Guests receive free continental breakfast, have access to an indoor pool and sauna, and can relax on the lakefront property in the evening. Plus, you can actually walk across the street to the park – it’s super convenient!

A little down the road you’ll find Old Forge KOA , where I always camped as a kid. There are a variety of tent sites, cabins, and cottages to choose from depending on your style. The resort also offers a shuttle bus to take you to and from the park, so you don’t need to worry about parking.

Enchanted Forest Water Safari

Join the Paul Bunyan Club

While you’re at it, make sure to take your photo with Paul Bunyan. Yes, it may be cheesy. Yes, a group of us 30-somethings looked like a giddy bunch of children getting our photos taken. But I don’t regret it for one minute! As soon as you enter the park you’ll see the giant statue of Paul Bunyan, and it is the must-have photo opportunity of the park.

For an extra $4 with your first visit this year, you can join the Paul Bunyan Club . As a member, you’ll receive half-off your admission for the rest of the season. Half-price tickets must be purchased at the admission gate.

Get a season pass

If you plan on visiting on at least 3 different days during the summer, it’s worth it to get yourself a season pass. That will get you unlimited admission for the season and 10% off food and drinks in the park.

What Is There to Do at Water Safari in Old Forge?

Before you do anything at the park, get yourself a splash card . These new cards act like your cash inside the park, so you don’t have to worry about carrying around actual cash or a wallet. Plus, the cards are waterproof, so you don’t have to worry about them on the wet rides.

Second, if you want to take photos and videos on the water rides, grab a waterproof phone pouch from any of the gift shops in the park. They seriously work wonders!

Lastly, if you brought a bunch of stuff into the park with you – and chances are you’ve got at least a bag with a change of clothes and towels – get a locker. That way you can stash your stuff in a locker and go enjoy the rides.

The Dry Rides

My favorite? The classic Skyride – take the ride up and get relaxing views of the whole park! But you’ll also find the traditional ones like the bumper cars and tilt-o-whirl. The wet rides are what really shine! (Also why the siesta pass is a great option!)

The Wet Rides

This is where Water Safari does it best! Believe it or not, there are 33 heated water wides ! The most popular is definitely “Curse of the Silverback”, a group ride where your tube circles around a giant funnel like a toilet bowl. And then – drop! For a relaxing day, you can choose from two different lazy rivers – the “Log Jammer” and “Safari River Expeditions”. Plus, there’s everything in between! Races, wave pools, single riders, partner and group tubes… Enough to fill your whole day!

While the park was closed in 2020, they built three new water rides . The lines may be long, but they are definitely worth it.

  • Serengeti Stampede replaced the old, basic racing slide. The new, colorful slides have bumps and turns to make them a lot more fun. And the new mats have handles, making them easier to hold onto.
  • Mamba Strike is a 285-foot drop water slide that loops around the Serengeti Stampede tubes. This slide has guests stand on a platform at the top of the slide that is dropped beneath them. An adrenaline rush for sure!
  • Killermanjaro is back and better than ever. The speed slide features one long 207-foot drop.

Water Safari New Rides 2021

Relive your childhood with Storybook Lane

Another one of my favorite childhood memories is visiting all the nursery rhyme recreations! And you can bet that I did that again on my most recent visit. From Cinderella’s pumpkin carriage to Hansel & Gretel’s gingerbread house, they are over 20 stories recreated along a path through the woods in the park. Meant for the children to visit in awe, but reminiscent for the adults as you listen to the stories play.

Friends at Water Safari

Family Circus

Twice daily you can watch the circus show. From the standard jugglers and trapeze artists, you’ll also find more unique acts like performing dogs and the famous motorcycle cage rider. It’s a great chance to catch a break from all the adrenaline of the day. Grab a snack and find a seat while you enjoy the show.

Play with the animals

Are you an animal lover like me? Then check out Paul’s Barnyard to play with and feed the sheep, goats, pigs, and birds that are there. I recommend going in between some of the dry rides!

Water Safari Circus

Where to Eat at Water Safari

Water Safari is one of the most lenient places when it comes to bringing in outside food and beverages. BUT, why worry about lugging around your cooler and finding a place to store it while you’re in the water? There are plenty of restaurants and snack stands throughout the park. So there are plenty of options to please any palate.

Options include pizza, nachos, burgers, chicken sandwiches, salads, and more. A staff favorite is the Bosco sticks at the pizza shack. Get two cheese-filled breadsticks served with marinara for just $3. New this year, you’ll find ice cream nachos, monster milkshakes, and hot honey chicken sandwiches.

And to answer your most burning question – yes, there are alcoholic drinks for adults!

Water Safari Restaurants

Other Things to Do in Old Forge

While you’re visiting Old Forge, be sure to get the most out of your stay.

Calypso’s Cove

Enchanted Forest Water Safari claims it’s “Where the fun never stops!” And that’s true! Even outside the park, you can continue your adventure – next door at Calypso’s Cove . From mini golf and batting cages, to an arcade, go karts, and more, you’re sure to have a blast.

Slicker’s Restaurant

After a long day at the water park, you’re sure to be hungry! Luckily, there’s a hometown favorite restaurant across the street – Slickers. Their pizza and chicken wings are fantastic. Seriously. So. Darn. Good. Get yourself some garlic parm wings and you’ll be in heaven.

Slickers Restaurant

Adirondack Dog House

If you’re really pinching your pennies for this trip, you can’t go wrong with a visit to the Adirondack Dog House . Hot dogs with all sorts of toppings, french fries and onion rings? Delicious. Classic. And cheap. Score!

Fulton Chain Craft Brewery

What’s dinner without a beer? A visit to Fulton Chain Craft Brewery is a must. Adirondack-themed and dog-friendly, you won’t want to miss drinking their famous “Go Fluff Yourself” beer. Weird name? Yes. Delicious? Heck yes. It’s a peanut butter marshmallow beer that has become very popular in Central New York – for good reason!

The brewery was recently expanded to make a larger taproom. All of their brew tanks are named after the lakes in the Fulton Chain of Lakes throughout the Adirondacks. They also have pictures of the lakes on them, embracing their location.

Fulton Chain Craft Brewery

Wisk Baking Co

You know I’m a sucker for a good coffee shop and bakery. Wisk isn’t that. Wisk Baking Co is an incredible coffee shop and bakery! Featuring a variety of delicious confections, the desserts are almost too beautiful to eat! Almost.

You’ll have a hard time choosing from the bagels, croissants, muffins, and more. Get yourself a slice of cake to go. I’d also recommend the “ADK Campfire” crepe, made with Nutella, Fluff, and graham crackers!
