B.C.’s largest water park is now open for the season, and here’s how to get discounted admission

The Cultus Lake Waterpark and Adventure Park are two popular summertime destinations all rolled into one, perfect if you’re planning a road trip from Vancouver. Maybe you’re looking for some classic theme park fun, or a cool-down as the temperatures continue to rise. Or maybe you just want a break from the incoming FIFA crowds, we get it!

Plus, the water park portion of this iconic summer attraction is currently offering discounted admission when you buy your tickets online, but only until June 30, 2026. So there’s never been a better time to plan your visit.

Situated just south of Chilliwack, the water park is the largest in B.C., with three classic waterslides that intertwine and wind their way into the pool below. These are perfect for beginner swimmers and experts alike, whereas the other rides are more for the thrills.

The “Bazooka Bowls” spin swimmers in a couple of circles before dropping them into the nine-foot pool below, and the “Boomerang” raft drops passengers 60 feet into a double-figure-eight slide path. Those who have always wanted to experience what white water rafting is like can check out the “Radical Rapids, while “Valley of Fear” is the only free-fall tube slide in B.C.

If you enjoy rides with a competitive edge, you can grab a slip and slide “carpet” and race your friends down the “Zero – 60 Raceway.”

Basically, picture the most exciting coasters or theme park rides, but made for the water.

On the flipside, the Adventure Park is home to thrilling roller coaster rides, bumper boats, a spinning balloon ride, and height-focused rides that will leave your heart racing.

How much are tickets?

With the current pre-season sale, water park admission is priced between $20 to $30 for weekdays, and $20 to $37 for weekends, depending on whether you stay for a half day or the full day. After June 30, the prices jump up by $10.

Once you secure admission, you can choose to add on a cabana rental to make your visit even more comfortable and memorable.

Admission to the Adventure Park is priced between $26 and $36 on weekdays, and $30 to $40 on weekends, and includes access to all rides and mini golf.

Note that parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis, with a $10 parking fee required at the end of your visit.
