Rules & Safety

---

For your safety and peace of mind, Big Surf employs professionally certified lifeguards trained in the most current water safety and lifesaving techniques.

We have an emergency first-aid station situated inside the park which allows us to handle almost all medical situations that arise inside the park. 

Safety Rules

• Children under the age of 12 should always be accompanied by an adult.
• You be at least 48” tall to ride the Space Bowl and Zambezi Falls.
• Height, weight and health restrictions are strictly enforced.
• Non-swimmers should be accompanied by an adult who can swim.
• Face masks that cover the nose are not allowed.
• No running or diving is allowed anywhere in the park.
• We reserve the right to disallow individuals access to rides which we may deem to be unsafe for them due to their age, size or other physical limitations.
• Infant’s diapers must be changed in restroom changing stations only.
• Swim diapers must be used for all children who are not yet potty-trained.

General Rules
