Splash Beach features Neptune’s Plunge, a daring trip through tunnels and tubes into a big splashing end . Also, the park features Salamander Bay, an area reserved for children under 48”. In addition, Splash Beach includes Kahuna Waves, Splashdown, the relaxing Warrior River and much more. Check them out!
Another water park that’s just a short drive away is Point Mallard Park in Decatur. Featuring a wave pool, Sky Pond, Speed Slide, Body Slide, Sandy Beach, and much more, Point Mallard is a definite stop on our Fake-ation tour. In addition to the water park, Point Mallard is home to a golf course and campground.
And lastly on this installment of Birmingham Mommy’s Vacation / Fake-ation guide is Spring Valley Beach in Blountsville.
