Summer’s Not Complete Without a Visit to Signal Bay Water Park

July 22, 2016 by

A quintessential part of summer, Signal Bay Water Park is an outing that never disappoints. Located in the heart of Signal Hill Park, this fun oasis will have you feeling as if you’re at a resort rather than right here in Manassas!

The pool area is 27,000 square feet and engineered to be fun for all ages. You can leisurely wade in or keep the little ones at the zero-depth entry to the pool, or float around on the lazy river. The pool has a variety of slides, fountains and water cannons for all to splash around and enjoy.

Admission prices vary depending on age and what time you’re visiting the park, but the ticket prices never climb past $8 per person, which is a real steal for a day of water park fun. If you’ll be a regular all summer long, consider purchasing a season pass for as little as $70. Visit their website for ticket and season pass pricing and options!
