Powell, OH – Don’t miss your chance to light up the night during Zoombezi Bay Family Nights. There are still five Family Nights events this season, each with special late night activities until 11 p.m. on Friday nights now through Aug. 2.
Beginning at 5 p.m., guests can watch their favorite Central Ohio waterpark transform as the sun goes down and their favorite attractions become even more thrilling in the dark. Some favorite rides and attractions, including Otter Banks, Cyclone, SoundSurfer, Big Boa Falls and more, will be open until 11 p.m. for thrill-seekers to enjoy some extra splash time in the park.
In addition to having access to Zoombezi Bay’s many attractions after dark, Otter Banks will host live entertainment, including music, animals from the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and friendly character ambassadors to entertain guests of all ages.
Additionally, each Family Nights event features a different family-friendly movie on a jumbo screen that guests can enjoy while floating on an inner tube (while supplies last) in the Wild Tides wave pool or from a chaise lounge chair along the shore. The remaining summer lineup includes:
JULY 5 – Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation
Count Dracula and company participate in a cruise for sea-loving monsters, unaware that their boat is being commandeered by the monster-hating Van Helsing family.
