Zoombezi Bay at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium

Zoombezi Bay at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium Overview:

Zoombezi Bay at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, which used to be known as Wyandot Lake, is a large water park with 15 water slides. Among the highlights is the Tahitian Twister family raft ride, which is all the more thrilling since it is enclosed and experienced in total darkness. The park also features the Cyclone bowl ride, which sends four-passenger rafts swirling, and the Dolphin Dash mat-racing slide. Zoombezi Bay offers two river rides: Croctail Creek is a lazy river reserved for adult guests, while the Roaring Rapids action river ratchets up the thrills for guests of all ages.

Other features at the park include private cabanas for rent, quick-service restaurants, snack stands, and a gift shop. By buying combo passes to Zoombezi Bay, the zoo, aquarium, and the mini "dry" ride park, Jungle Jack's Landing, visitors can make a (long) day of it.
