It may seem like summer is already on its way out with the pending arrival of the school year, but there is still plenty of heat and outdoor fun in store for Cincinnati. There are several spots around the Queen City to cool off on a hot day and have tons of fun while doing it. One of the newest destinations in our area is Aqua Adventures at Land of Illusion in Middletown, which opened in 2018. This inflatable water park near Cincinnati made a few changes this summer and they just added an exciting new feature. The largest inflatable water slide in the country is now just a short drive from Cincinnati and everyone in your family is going to want to try it.

Land of Illusion has long been a popular haunted attraction in Middletown, but last year, it added Aqua Adventures to its property.

The main Wibit Adventure Zone is for those over 43" tall and features the same set-up that park visitors enjoyed last year.

If you visited with a child last year, you likely know the main area can get a bit overwhelming, so this was a great addition. Parents are welcome to play with their younger kids in this new area.

The most recent and most exciting addition is this towering water slide.

The slide is a fun feature and there are many other spots within the park for thrills.

Or you can also choose to just lounge in the sand and enjoy the beach and summertime views.

In addition to the inflatable water park, Aqua Adventures also offers Paddle Bay.
