Kima Bay

Water Ride Mild Splashin’ Safari

Kima Bay is a huge, monkey-themed water play attraction.

Count to seven with Kima Bay’s fun water slides! There are more than 100 water-play elements for your little monkeys, including more than 125 water jets. The 1,200-gallon bucket fills constantly with water, tipping every few minutes to create a four-story waterfall.

Check children’s heights before riding the slides. While anyone can play around the attraction, you must be 36″ for the smaller slides and 42″ for the taller slides.
