We just returned from a trip to an indoor water park. I think it is the best winter getaway to take with kids! Since we hadn’t gone swimming in several months, I was out of practice when it came to packing. I really wish I had used a water park packing list. Here is a list of what to bring to a water park.
Water Park Packing List
- Beach bag to carry personal items
- Bathing suits (one for each day, because putting on a wet bathing suit is the worst)
- Swim cover-up
- Floaties/ life jacket
- Swim diapers
- Sandals or water shoes
- Pool towels (check if they are provided or not, some places charge for towel rentals)
- poncho towels are great for kids because they can also use them to provide privacy if they need to change
- Goggles
- First aid kit– for skinned knees
- Waterproof pouch for your phone
- GoPro with floating handle/ water proof camera
- Cooler with drinks and snacks (some parks do not allow coolers, so check ahead of time)
- Small toys for your kids (my daughter likes to swim with a barbie)
- Book/ magazine to read
- Hair brush, elastics, detangler
- Change of clothes
- Deodorant
- Hand sanitizer
- Wet bag/ Plastic bag for wet bathing suits
- For outdoor areas: sunscreen, hat

I hope this list of what to bring to a water park helps you organize your next trip. If I left anything out or you have a good idea to add to the list, please let me know.
