Safety rules are posted in the Park and near attractions as well as on our website. Nevertheless, parents are encouraged to teach their children about water safety prior to visiting the Water Park. Please ensure non-swimmers or weak swimmers wear U.S. Coast Guard Approved life vests. Complimentary life vests are available inside the Waterpark on a first-come, first-served basis.

Your family's safety is our first priority! As a result we follow specific guidelines with regards to inclement weather.

When Bernalillo County is under a Tornado Warning the entire Water Park will be cleared and all guests will be advised to take proper precautions regarding tornado safety. Minors without a parent present will be required to take shelter as deemed appropriate by Water Park Management.
In the event that some or all attractions are temporarily shut down for inclement weather, Radisson will make every effort to re-open attractions as soon as conditions permit safe operation. Refunds will not be given for inclement weather.
