Wacky Waters Adventure Park facts for kids

Wacky Waters Adventure Park was a fun water park in Davenport, Iowa. It was open for many years, from 1984 to 2006. In 2007, the park closed its doors. The land was then sold to a college district. Now, it's a training center for fire departments and rescue teams.

In 1986, something really unique happened at Wacky Waters! A couple decided to get married right on top of the park's "Daredevil" water slide. After saying their vows, they sealed it with a kiss as they slid down the big slide. This special event even got attention across the country!
