With its picturesque landscapes and charming coastal towns, Long Island offers endless romantic date options for couples. Still, none of them are as exhilarating as embarking on an unforgettable adventure at Splish Splash. Let’s dive into everything our water park has to offer and discover how this location can become the perfect backdrop for your heart-fluttering date!

Have a romantic date at a water park

When you think of planning a romantic date on Long Island, we might not be the first place that comes to mind. After all, water parks are usually seen as lively, energetic spots rather than intimate settings. Yet, intimacy isn’t just about candle-lit dinners and soft kisses—it’s also about shared experiences that create endearing memories. In fact, numerous studies show that couples who have fun together experience a stronger connection and a deeper bond. Laughter helps keep the passion and the giddy feeling of being in love alive, fuels “the gauge of joy” every relationship has and even lowers stress levels. And what better venue to have a date filled with excitement and crazy laughs than Splish Splash?

Within its 96-acre extension, Splish Splash provides endless opportunities for fun.
