Escape the I-4 crowds: Wild Adventures brings back Splash Island Nights with a $59.99 summer deal
Interested in escaping the crowds? The Wild Adventures summer deal provides unlimited admission to Splash Island Nights and waterslides all season for under $60.
Central Florida residents spend a lot of time and money fighting I-4 crowds visiting local theme parks. Let this serve as a friendly reminder that a fun alternative is sitting just three hours north on I-75: Wild Adventures Theme Park in Valdosta, Georgia. This summer, the park is pairing a revived Friday night waterpark event with a great value in terms of admission: $59.99 for unlimited visits all summer long.
Wild Adventures has developed into one of the Southeast’s most distinctive regional theme parks by combining roller coasters, animal exhibits, concerts, and a water park into one destination.
Unlike larger Florida parks that focus heavily on intellectual property and immersive lands, Wild Adventures built its reputation around variety and affordability.
Guests can ride attractions like Boomerang and Twisted Typhoon, explore safari-style animal habitats, and cool off at Splash Island all during the same visit. The park also hosts concerts and seasonal festivals that help draw visitors from both Georgia and North Florida.
Wild Adventures summer: Extended hours and dance zones
Splash Island Nights kicks off Friday, June 5, and runs every Friday through July 31, with extended hours at Splash Island Waterpark until 10 p.m. Guests should expect live DJ sets from Press Play starting at 7 p.m., glowing dance zones, family-friendly competitions, and full access to the park’s waterslides.
Additionally, Paradise River is part of the event and was recently named by USA Today 10Best as America’s #1 “Best Lazy River.” This relaxing lazy river that offers guests a soothing escape from the park’s more thrilling attractions.
The Summer Fun Card unlimited admission
Not only can you enjoy unlimited admission to Wild Adventures park, you can also enjoy all of the Splash Islands Nights, except July 3 and 4, 2026.
At just $59.99 per person, the Summer Fun Card provides an affordable escape with some solid perks:
- Unlimited admission to Wild Adventures and Splash Island Waterpark
- Valid any operating day from May 26 through September 6
- Includes all Splash Island Nights Friday events
- This card excludes admission on July 3 and July 4 only
For families making the drive up from the Orlando area, the math is simple. At under $60 per person for the entire summer, you can treat this as a weekend road trip without the guilt of spending traditional theme park prices on a one-day visit. Valdosta has a reasonable supply of hotels and is a comfortable drive from Orlando, with a straight route through Ocala and Lake City. Of course, if you live closer to Valdosta, GA, the trip is even easier.
“Splash Island Nights is just another reason to join the season-long fun at Wild Adventures,” said Asher Raymond, public relations specialist. “Nothing beats starting the summer off with late-night waterslides and lazy river laps.”
Exclusive previews and upgrades
Wild Adventures Passholders get an early look with an exclusive Splash Island Passholder Night Preview on Friday, May 29, from 7:00–10:00 p.m. If you’re already a season passholder, this weekend is essentially your soft opening and an incentive to plan a visit sooner rather than later.
For those planning a longer relationship with the park, a Gold Season Pass unlocks everything the Summer Fun Card offers, plus fall’s Great Pumpkin LumiNights and the holiday Wild Adventures Christmas event.
Through July 5, Gold Season Pass buyers also receive two free Bring-A-Friend tickets, which takes a solid deal and makes it a great one for a first-time visit with someone on the fence about committing.
