To begin, let's look at Teach's Tides Adventure River. Relax and meander your way along with the current in this 1,000-foot lazy river named for North Carolina's most famous pirate: Blackbeard (Edward Teach).
For the kiddo's there's an adventure lagoon perfectly sized for a day of fun. The next step up is the Cat-5 Wave Pool. You could get in the car and drive over the Wright Brothers Memorial Bridge to experience the waves in the ocean - but why? These will do just fine!

Did we mention you don't even need to bring your own tube for the lazy river?? Or that ALL of the rides at H2OBX are included in one single price of admission?

It's not like some waterparks where you have to pay add-on prices for some of the rides.
Let's talk about "rides" and why H2OBX is part waterpark and part amusement park. If you've ever been to Disney World in Florida and you really liked cooling off at Splash Mountain because it combined a thrill with getting doused with cold water...

Well, let's just say that at H2OBX you've come to the right place for lots of thrilling, water-themed rides. There are family-friendly options like Queen Anne's Revenge and Rogue Wave that pile everyone into the same huge float so you can create amazing family memories together. No, you wind find any roller coasters here. But the thrills are just as full of adrenaline!
