Raging Waves – Yorkville Two words for thrill seekers: The Boomerang! This 4-person slide twists and turns before it plunges riders 40 feet. In fact, it scores a perfect 5 out of 5 on the website’s thrill factor scale. But don’t worry, Illinois’ largest water park features many other slides for every thrill-level. www.ragingwaves.com -TS 3. Harold Hall Quarry Beach – Batavia Up for something different this summer?

Sea Lion Park – Lisle In addition to many swimming and slide features, this suburban waterpark offers several distinct areas for different age groups: a sand and baby pool play area for the little ones, a splash playground that is great for toddlers through adolescents, and then a teen leisure pool specifically reserved for ages 12 and up.
