Mountain Creek waterpark opening this weekend for summer fun

With its operation schedule set to begin Saturday, Vernon-based Mountain Creek Resort is opening its waterpark this coming weekend for another summer of fun.

Mountain Creek Waterpark offers guests the opportunity to splash, slide and relax in a natural mountain setting. The park will be open all summer and through Labor Day, and visitors can beat the heat by enjoying a lineup of classic rides such as the Colorado River Rapids, Zero G, High Tide Wave Pool and Canyon Cliff Jump, along with an assortment of family friendly rides and attractions for younger children.

Full day tickets start at $39.99, and season passes at $69.99, which can be purchased online at MountainCreek.com/Waterpark. Advance online reservation is required.

Aside from visiting the waterpark, Mountain Creek Resort also offers Zip Tours mountaintop zip lines, which feature a series of zip lines ranging from 200 to 1,500 feet in length, suspended high above the very top of Mountain Creek.

“We’re excited to announce the annual opening of Mountain Creek Waterpark,” Trish McLeod, director of resorts marketing & sales, Mountain Creek Resort, stated. “We know many people across the New York metro area have been looking for ways to spend time outdoors after a cold winter. We’re confident the resort’s waterpark and zip line tours will provide guests with fun ways to cool off and beat the heat in the outdoors this summer.”
