One of the best things to do in Marietta and beyond is to spend a day at Six Flags White Water. This vast theme park has everything that you need for an exciting day out with friends and family. Here is what you need to know to plan your visit to one of the most popular waterparks near Atlanta.

Theme Park Ins and Outs: Six Flags White Water is located in Marietta, Georgia, approximately 15 miles northwest of Atlanta. This convenient location makes it a breeze to visit from nearly anywhere in the metro area. Operating hours vary throughout the year, making it important that you check the calendar before your visit.

There are a variety of ticket options available to you at White Water, including one-day passes, season memberships, or tickets that get you into both the water park and Six Flags Over Georgia. White Water also boasts a number of special events, including concerts and members-only parties.

Attractions: There is something for everyone at White Water, regardless of your age or your swimming ability. Kids will love splashing around in the Captain Kid's Cove, Skull Island, and Buccaneer Bay, featuring tike-sized waterslides, interactive games, and shallow water.

A myriad of family waterslides gives kids the chance to experience the thrill rides with an adult. The Bahama Bob Slide is perfect for those kids looking for something tame while the Run-A-Away River sends you through darkness and waterfalls on your own family-sized raft.

The focal point of White Water is undoubtedly the massive wave pool. The 700-gallon pool is a blast for the whole family. Stay in the shallow waters or head out to catch some of the big waves.

Thrills and chills abound at White Water. Take a spin on the Gulf Coast Screamer or the Typhoon Twister. The Caribbean Plunge takes you down a 50-foot double hill in just three seconds, delivering an adrenaline rush like no other.

Food and Drink: You do not have to leave the property to enjoy great food and drink options. Stop by JB's Smokehouse for hot dogs, turkey legs, and more. Primo's Pizzeria offers mouth-watering pizza, garlic knots, chicken tenders, and salad. Or grab a meal at Boardwalk Burgers and Fries. There is also no shortage of fun snack options, including ice cream, funnel cakes, popcorn, smoothies, and more. Adults will appreciate the beer and wine selection.

Comforts and Amenities: You can elevate your visit even further by adding on one of the premium amenities. Go all out by reserving your own private poolside cabana, complete with a personal attendant, storage table, ceiling fan, and more. Or choose to rent a pair of the shaded poolside loungers so that you know you will always have a comfortable place to call home base for the day.

The water feels great at Six Flags White Water so add it to your summer bucket list this year!
