waterparks
Wet recreation venues
Waterparks are recreational facilities built around water-based attractions—pools, slides, wave machines, and lazy rivers.
They range from modest outdoor complexes to massive indoor resorts.
The term also applies to the attractions themselves: The kids want to spend the whole day at the waterpark.
Also spelled as two words: water parks.
