Want to maximize your water fun and minimize wait times? Here’s the inside scoop on the best times to visit Jellystone Park™ Zion Utah’s water zone:

• Shoulder Seasons: Spring and fall tend to be less crowded overall.  If your schedule is flexible, consider visiting the water zone during these times for a more relaxed experience.
• Weekdays Rule: Weekdays generally see fewer visitors than weekends. So, if you can swing a mid-week adventure, you’re likely to enjoy shorter lines and more pool space.
• Early Birds or Night Owls:  Beat the rush by arriving when the water zone opens. Or, for a different vibe, enjoy the slides and pools with smaller crowds during the later afternoon and early evening hours.

Insider Tip:  Check the park’s activity calendar for special events or programs that might draw larger crowds, and plan your water zone time accordingly.

Increase your fun and comfort at the Zion Jellystone Park™ water zone with these packing essentials:

• Sun Protection: Sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses are a must to stay safe and comfortable in the Zion sunshine. Reapply sunscreen frequently!
• Towels: Pack plenty of absorbent towels to dry off between splashes.
• Water Shoes: If the pavement gets hot, water shoes can protect sensitive feet and offer better traction on wet surfaces.
• Snacks and Drinks: Check the park’s policy on outside food and drinks. If allowed, bring a cooler with hydrating beverages and easy-to-eat snacks to keep everyone fueled for fun.
• Waterproof Case: Protect your phone from unexpected splashes with a waterproof case. This lets you snap those action shots worry-free!
• Goggles: For underwater exploration and added splash-protection.
• Puddle Jumpers: These can offer extra flotation support for young swimmers (check park regulations for use).

Bonus Tip:  Pack a change of dry clothes for when the water fun is over. It’s much more comfortable to head back to your campsite or cabin feeling fresh!

• Locker Rentals: Beat the crowds and snag a locker early in the day to secure your belongings while you splash. Ask at check-in about availability and location.
• Cabana Comforts: For a luxurious touch, consider renting a cabana. These often offer shade, seating, and maybe even extra perks.
