“Such a fun experience during the adult night at Charleston Aqua Park! With the massive inflatable and the ropes course, I felt like I was on Wipeout!! Well worth it and highly recommend! ☺️”

Brandon Staples

“This place is an amazing find. 2 adults, had a blast. 45 minutes on the water ropes course and you’re exhausted at the end, great activity (solid upper body workout)! Will definitely visit again. 10/10”

Nancy Guss

“Charleston Aqua Park offers a great time for fun/ challenge seekers from ages 6 up. The youngest with me was 6, and she loved the water park. The ropes course was a bit of a challenge, but she took her time and was comfortable and successful on part of it. The older kids went nonstop until the sad moment when the lifeguard blew the whistle. The employees are nice and helpful, and the snow cones were yummy. Charleston Aqua Park is a huge hit for a hot day.”

Michelle Deitrick

“We went to the after hours adult swim and it was awesome!! It felt like being a kid again. The ropes course was challenging but achievable. The check in process was smooth and easy. They got us in the water on time so we had the full time to play. They provide water shoes and life jackets. Would recommend for friends, couples and solo!”

Noah Gerweck

“Had a blast, better get some recovery food or energy bars cause the rope course is tougher on your fingers than it looks”
