About Each Park
Boulder Beach at Silverwood
Idaho
Boulder Beach at Silverwood sits right next to one of the Northwest's premier amusement parks, giving you a two-for-one vacation destination in northern Idaho's lake country. This outdoor water park operates seasonally and feels like a natural extension of the Silverwood experience, with that same family-friendly vibe that makes the theme park so popular. The park centers around a massive wave pool that generates decent-sized waves every few minutes. Kids love timing their jumps with the wave cycles, while adults can float on tubes and actually relax. The lazy river winds around a good portion of the park and moves at the perfect pace for cooling off between more active attractions. For thrill seekers, the park features several multi-story water slides including both tube slides and body slides with varying intensity levels. The kids' area is well-designed with smaller slides, water buckets, and interactive features that keep little ones entertained for hours. What really sets Boulder Beach apart is its location and combo potential with Silverwood Theme Park. Most visitors do multi-day passes to experience both parks, making it a true destination rather than just a day trip. The mountain views from the park are spectacular, and the high desert climate means hot, dry days perfect for water park weather. Get there early during peak summer days because it does fill up, especially on weekends. The park gets busy with both locals and tourists visiting the Coeur d'Alene area.

Idaho
Boulder Beach is the water park side of Silverwood Theme Park, Idaho's largest amusement destination. This outdoor water park sits right next to the main theme park in the pine forests of North Idaho, giving you mountain views while you're getting soaked. The centerpiece is Ripcurl Bay, a massive wave pool that generates 4-foot waves every few minutes. Kids absolutely lose their minds here, and honestly, so do most adults. The lazy river winds around a good chunk of the park, perfect for floating between attractions or just zoning out on a hot day. For slides, you've got options ranging from gentle family rafting rides to some legitimately intense tube slides that'll get your heart pumping. The kids area is solid with smaller slides, water features, and shallow pools that work great for toddlers and younger kids. Since this is attached to Silverwood's main theme park, you can actually buy combo tickets to hit both parks in the same day, which is a pretty sweet deal if you've got the energy. The mountain setting means it can get chilly in the evenings, even in summer, so plan accordingly. Parking is shared with the main theme park and it's free, but get there early on busy days because this place packs out. The food situation is typical water park fare but decent quality. Pro tip: if you're doing the combo ticket, hit the water park in the afternoon when it's hottest, then migrate to the dry rides as it cools down.…
