About Each Park
Lagoon-A-Beach
Utah
Lagoon-A-Beach sits right next to the famous Lagoon amusement park in Farmington, Utah, making it the perfect complement to a full day of thrills. This outdoor water park has a classic American water park feel with all the essentials done well. The wave pool generates decent-sized waves that are perfect for body surfing or just floating around on tubes. Kids gravitate toward the shallow end while teens and adults claim the deeper sections. The lazy river moves at a good pace and has enough twists and turns to keep it interesting during your float. Multiple water slides offer different thrill levels, from gentle family slides to steeper options that'll get your heart pumping. The kids area features smaller slides, dump buckets, and interactive water features that keep little ones entertained for hours. Since it's attached to Lagoon, you get that well-maintained, established park feel with clean facilities and experienced staff.
