Surf’s up— the ocean is calling! Get ready for summer at the beach and hop on our mechanical surf board for the ride of your life. You can test your wakesurfing skills and try to hang ten right on the show floor. Our crew controls your ride by adjusting the angle of the surfboard on three planes, adjusting difficulty levels to suit your skill level. You don’t have to worry about wipeouts either—you’ll simply fall into an ocean of inflatable fun. Open to anyone 40-inches or taller.
Oceans of inflatable fun for youngsters! Whimsical aquatic wonderland features a bounce area, slide and ball pit where kids can “play in the waves”—without getting wet!
The Let’s Go Fishing Center returns with hourly seminars led by professional anglers. Local fishing clubs and organizations are available to speak with attendees, and kids can try fishing in the Catch and Release Trout Pond.
For the younger children, don’t miss the girl that’s determined, positive, helpful, caring and ALWAYS
