One Wisconsin waterpark ranks among America’s best

🌊 DID YOU KNOW? It takes about 900,000 gallons of water to initially fill a waterpark. After that, the average park consumes more than 25,000 gallons/month. By comparison, the average person uses 17 gallons of water during their daily (8 minute) shower.

Nothing says “summer” quite like a day at a waterpark, and although Wisconsin is nearing the end of its outdoor season, you still have a few more days to soak in the sun and slides! But where to go?
