When is Water Safari Opening Under New Owners in 2024

Mark your calendars. Opening day is scheduled for June 12, 2024.

The family behind one of the top water parks in the country has handed over the reins. The Noonan's will no longer be running Enchanted Forest Water Safari in Old Forge. They decided to sell the property after 46 years. Innovative Attraction Management (IAM), a company out of Florida, bought the water park along with Calypso’s Cove, the Old Forge Camping Resort, and Water’s Edge Inn.

Ticket prices are the same as they were last year -  $42.99 for adults and $39.99 for kids aged 3 to 11. 2 and under are free. You can get a season pass for $109.99 until June 1, 2024.

WATER SAFARI POLICY CHANGES

For the 2024 season, only season pass holders will be allowed to bring in a cooler and it can't be any bigger than 60 quarts.

New park owner James Harhi says exemptions will always be made for babies and anyone with special dietary needs. But the change is need to help control what is brought into the park. "It is impossible for us to really inspect everything and get you in at a fast pass."
