Boomerang Bay Overview:

California's Great America offers the state's only onsite water park that's included with theme park admission. Attractions at the medium-sized Boomerang Bay include a wave pool, a lazy river, and a bunch of water slides, all themed to the land down under. The water park offers a great way to cool down after a hot day waiting in line for Great America's coasters and other rides.
