Today is National Water Park Day.  Since we're in the dog days of summer, it only seems appropriate to splash around and celebrate by checking out the Top 5 in Kentucky.

KENTUCKY'S 5 BEST WATER PARKS

VENTURE RIVER -EDDYVILLE- If you love slides you're gonna love Venture River.  It is only a short drive from the Tri-State area and has 12 slides.  The kids can play around at Pleasure Island Kid's Area or you can all relax at Hurricane Bay Wave Pool.  Not to mention the water ride, Frog Island, sand volleyball, and large sunning areas.

KENTUCKY SPLASH WATERPARK -WILLIAMSBURG- The Hal Rogers Family Entertainment Center is home to the Kentucky Splash Water Park. The center includes an 18,000 sq. ft. wave pool, a lazy river, a kiddy activity pool plus a triple slide complex, and a double slide tower!  Also an 18-hole miniature golf course and an arcade.
