7 Waterparks in Louisiana to Help You Cool Off This Summer
We're about to get into it -- the dawg days of summer. You know, the time of year from say, early May until late November, where there's only a handful of outdoor things that we can possibly handle!
Getting into the water sure is one of those options. Personally, I'm a huge fan of waterparks.
Many of us know of places like Blue Bayou in Baton Rouge and the SPAR Water Park in Sulphur, but there are a few more across the state you probably weren't aware even existed.
So check out our list of waterparks in the great state of Louisiana
- Blue Bayou, Facebook
Blue Bayou, Facebook 1Blue Bayou
Baton RougeOpen since 1999, this is Louisiana's signature water park. Blue Bayou has a total of 20 attractions and over the years has added new attractions. It's also known as the "Land of the Giants" as it's home to five of the world's largest water slides. Throw in Dixie Landin' amusement park and you've got a fun day lined up.
- Sulphur Parks & Recreation
Sulphur Parks & Recreation 2SPAR Water Park
SulphurThis park in Sulphur is operated by the local parks and recreation department. It features several slides, a lazy river, splash pad and more. The best part of this park is the price - $6 daily admission for in-district and $12 for out-of-district.
- Splash Kingdom Waterpark, Facebook

ShreveportIf you ever find yourself in north Louisiana and are looking to get some relief from the heat, this is your best bet. This park features several slides (with some pretty cool exit points), lazy river, wave pool, activity pool, sand volleyball courts and more.
- Audubon Nature Institute
Audubon Nature Institute 4Audubon Cool Zoo
New OrleansThe Audubon Zoo in New Orleans has been a great destination for years and then they kicked it up a notch with this addition. Highlights include Gator Run, jumping water spouts, a huge alligator water slide, spider monkey soakers and water-spitting snakes. There are also three splash zones.
- BREC
BREC 5Liberty Lagoon
Baton RougeThis park is operated by BREC (Parks & Recreation) and though on the smaller side, it's still quite the value at only $12 admission. It features a few slides, lazy river, splash pad, aquatic playground and several pavilions.
- Denham Springs Parks & Recreation
Denham Springs Parks & Recreation 6Aqua PARDS
Denham SpringsThis park is on the smaller side but it's also very inexpensive. Run by the Denham Springs Parks & Recreation, it'll only set you back $5 a day if you are in-district and $8 for out-of-district park goers. It's a great place for the littler ones.
- White Sands Lake
White Sands Lake 7White Sands Lake Day Beach
FranklintonHead up to the northeast corner of the bottom part of the boot in the state and you'll find this lake. Yeah, technically it's not a water park in the truest sense, but this place looks like a ton of fun. Your admission to the sandy shore gets you access to all the inflatables set up on the water.
