This past weekend, the brand-new Stingray Bay officially opened to guests at Splish Splash Water Park. The water play area will offer families with smaller children a new way to beat the heat just in time for the temperatures on Long Island to rise for the summer 2025 season.
Splish Splash hosted an official ribbon cutting ceremony outside of Stingray Bay at 10 a.m. The ceremony featured remarks from the park’s General Manager Mike Bengtson, special ribbon cutting, giveaways, and guests from the Family & Children’s Association.
The all-new water playground, Stingray Bay, offers visitors more than 15 ways to stay cool during their visit to Splish Splash. The all-new water playground is finally complete and decked out with three-pint sized water slides, six interactive spray features, five water play features, a dump bucket and fun for all to soak and spray.
“We are thrilled to partner with Family & Children’s Association as we open the all-new Stingray Bay this weekend,” said Bengtson. “This interactive water play area is the perfect addition to the park, offering something our smallest guests can enjoy while teens and above tackle our thrilling park favorites like Bootlegger’s Run, Alien Invasion, and Hyperlight. “
The third annual Kids Fest event continues, running every weekend through Sunday, June 29. Each weekend features an interactive DJ, performers, meet and greets, giveaways, bubble parties, exclusive food and retail items, and more.
In addition to Kids Fest, Splish Splash will introduce its first-ever nighttime event, Neon Nights. Neon Nights will run each Friday and Saturday from July 11 through August 16 from 7 p.m. through 10 p.m.
