13 Water Parks to Try This Summer Within 75 Miles of Rockford

Grab your suit and sunscreen and let's go to the water park!

Growing up I was fortunate enough to have outdoor water slides close to my home. We spent a lot of time on the cement slides and even more time bandaging ourselves up after falling off our half inch foam mat. Being how dangerous the slides were, I'm surprised they were even legal.

Times were different and the slides have been closed for many years now. Fine by me, because that made way for safer, cooler and down right awesome water parks. This ain't your Auntie Lori's water slides! These are full blown WATER PARKS!

All of these water parks are within a 70-ish mile radius from the radio station in the heart of Rockford, IL. That's a quick day trip for all the kiddos and adults alike.
