DC has no shortage of fun activities but because of our size and location, we don’t have many sprawling amusement parks and water parks. However, hiding right outside of DC, in Alexandria, VA, there is an amazing hidden waterpark that everyone will love playing at this summer.
Great Waves Waterpark is perfect for a full day of summer fun! It’s located at Cameron Run Regional Park, just a short drive away from DC.
