2023
More than ever, Splish Splash was the place to be as the park added the most events in its history, including a little something for everyone. Building on the longtime success of its popular Bird Show, the park introduced a thrilling animal show featuring wildlife from all corners of the world. Splish Splash also added its first annual Kids Fest on weekends in June, with fun activities, live performers, meet and greets and giveaways for kids of all ages. As if that weren’t enough, a Mascot Day proved to be a big hit as local friends such as QuackerJack from the Long Island Ducks, Wolfie from Stony Brook University and Splash from Saf-T-Swim entertained visitors and competed in games against Splish, the park’s mascot. Other repeat events like Father’s Day Flop, Shark in the Park and Touch a Truck during Hero Appreciation Week were once again enjoyed by guests.
Of course, visitors to the park work up a big appetite as they enjoy the rides, and the all-new Clucks & Hops Wings Bar was introduced across from the Kahuna Bay Wavepool, making sure guests didn’t miss a moment of the action.
Splish Splash is more than just rides and slides, and this year the park added a great live music lineup. The Summer's ON! Concert Series offered hits from Top 40, salsa, reggae and much more as guests had a rockin' good time with local bands on Saturdays in July.
As part of its ongoing commitment to make the part accessible to everyone, Splish Splash announced its continued partnership with the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES) by achieving recertification as a Certified Autism Center.
