Mountain Creek

If you only have time to hit up one water park in NJ then Mountain Creek would have to be your first choice.

The one main things that makes Mountain Creek good is that it is very unique. It does not offer many of the normal conventional water rides that most other water parks do. It is situated in a very cool setting on a huge Mountain that has beautiful secluded natural surroundings that are second to none in NJ.

Mountain Creek also has very nice children's rides and play areas. There is a beautiful natural lagoon where children can actually go inside caves! This is our pick for the best overall Family water Park in NJ.
