Cascade Bay
Cascade Bay is a water park in Eagan, Minnesota, featuring multiple pools, slides, and a wave pool designed for different age groups. The facility offers steep rides for thrill-seekers alongside shallow areas for young children and non-swimmers, plus a lazy river with light rapids and water sprays flowing throughout.
The park is a modern addition to Eagan's community facilities, emerging from the growing popularity of water parks across the United States in the late 20th century. This development brought urban recreation directly to the region and established a contemporary venue for summer leisure.
The name reflects the cascading water features and wave-like environment designed to evoke a beach setting. Families gather here as a community gathering place during hot summer months, using the space to cool off and spend time together in the water.
The park operates from early June through late August with two main sessions daily and flexible ticket options. Check the hotline or sign up for email updates beforehand to stay informed about weather conditions, storm closures, and special events.
The facility features a mini pirate boat slide that exits into shallow water, specifically designed to keep young children safe, and a large grassy hill called Hill Top where groups can gather and relax. Beyond water activities, visitors can also try mini golf for a change of pace.
