Those hot summer days are quickly approaching, which gives you a great excuse to head to what’s being named one of the top water parks in the US, Water World!

USA Today and its readers have ranked Water World the second-best water bark in the United States behind only Splashway Waterpark in Sheridan, Texas.

Water World’s opening day is May 24, kicking off Memorial Day Weekend, and features several attractions such as Glacier Run, Mile High Flyer and Pirate’s Plunge!

The second-place showing is an improvement from the year before when the Colorado water park ranked seventh in the country.

To help accommodate what will surely be a busy summer season, Water World is currently hiring looking to hire over 1,000 employees for what they call “Summer’s Best Job.” To apply, click here.
