Join the Gold Rush and Get Your Discounted Water Mine Passes

Water MineDon’t miss this gold rush — secure discounted season passes for the Water Mine by May 29!

Stay cool this summer at the Fairfax County Park Authority’s family water park: The Water Mine Family Swimmin’ Hole. With a design that captures the excitement of the Old West, all ages can find something to enjoy.

Purchasing season passes saves you more than 60% on daily admission prices, so the more you visit, the more you save. Season passholders also experience faster entry and can purchase guest passes at a discounted rate. Get these sale prices while they last: $111 for a single person, $177 for two people, $242 for three people and $76 for each additional person, with up to eight people on a pass (ages 2 and younger enter for free).

The Water Mine boasts more than an acre of slides reaching as tall as three stories, flumes, sprays, showers, floatables and an interactive water playground. Careen off covered wagons, float on wild animals and dash through showers tipped from water-filled carts. Enjoy the activity pool or relax in the Rattlesnake River — a 725-foot lazy river.

The Water Mine will open to all those with disabilities and their families for a sensory friendly hour from 10 to 11 a.m. on Tuesday, June 20 and Tuesday, Aug. 8. Learn more about this and the park at the Water Mine website.

Take advantage of this gold rush season by purchasing your tickets online by visiting the Water Mine website, or by calling 703-246-5929. The park opens on Saturday, May 27.

See you this summer at the Water Mine at Lake Fairfax Park, 1400 Lake Fairfax Drive, Reston Virginia.
