Waterpark Added to Showboat Resort

A popular casino resort in Atlantic City has brought a new and exciting form of entertainment to the area for those who want to do something other than gamble.

With the opening of its $100 million waterpark, the Showboat Resort Atlantic City has brought fun and excitement for all ages to the Boardwalk. Officials from the real estate company, Tower Investments, revealed last week that the waterpark was now completed and ready to open its doors to thrill-seekers and those looking to have some fun.

The new facility is called the Island Waterpark at The Showboat Resort, and it is a family-friendly facility that offers a host of attractions and excitement.

It is also known as the world’s biggest indoor beachfront waterpark and is certain to appeal to visitors of all ages looking for an alternative to the casinos. The new waterpark offers both daytime and twilight tickets, so visitors can explore at times that suit them.

What Visitors Can Expect

The new waterpark at the casino resort covers 120,000 square feet and has close to 320,000 gallons of water. There are many fun and exciting facilities that visitors will be able to enjoy when they enter the waterpark, which means that it will prove popular with people of all ages.

There are eleven water slides at the park, a lazy river, a wave and surf simulator, and an adventure pool that enables visitors to enjoy a host of water games and activities.

There is also a tree house rising to 30 feet, and this can be rented out for private events. There is plenty for kids to enjoy, including a play area with water activities called the Kids Cove.

Bart Blatstein from Tower Investments said:

Atlantic City has long been one of the most iconic destinations for entertainment geared for adults, but now the Island Waterpark at The Showboat Resort will open up a whole new world of family entertainment on the Boardwalk.

He added that visitors would be ‘blown away’ by the waterpark and described it as being like a tropical paradise that can be enjoyed all year round by adults and kids. It will prove extremely popular during the summer months as people flock there to cool down.

Hugely Beneficial to Other Businesses in the Area

The waterpark is certain to attract a lot of visitors, including many families, to the area over the summer months. This will be lucrative for all businesses in the area as well as the local economy, as it could lead to a boost in consumer spending and tourism with people flocking to the area from other states and even further afield.

Other casino resorts in Atlantic City stand to benefit from an increase in demand for rooms as well as other onsite facilities. In addition, local restaurants, bars, and even retail establishments could benefit from an increase in business as a result of more people coming to the area during the warmer months to enjoy the thrill of the new water park.
