Magic Waters Water Park located in Rockford Illinois, is a place the whole family can enjoy. For the thrill seekers in your group there are plenty of water slides and dump buckets, while those just looking to relax can enjoy the beautiful lazy river.
One of the more popular attractions at Magic Waters is the 707,000 gallon wave pool, known as Tsunami Bay. The waves alternate between huge ocean waves, and calm relaxing tide, to give you a perfect mixture of thrill and chill. Tsunami Bay is Illinois’s largest wave park, and can produce waves over 6 feet in height.
