Evergreen Wings and Waves Waterpark, Indoor water park in McMinnville, Oregon, United States.
Evergreen Wings and Waves is an indoor water park that combines multiple slides, a wave pool, and interactive water play areas under one roof. The facility integrates a real Boeing 747 aircraft mounted on top, with several slides originating from inside the plane itself.
The park opened in 2011 as part of the Evergreen Aviation Complex, expanding the area's recreational options. The project grew from the existing aviation museum at the site, bringing together education and leisure activities.
The water park takes its name from the aviation museum next door, and its slides run through a mounted Boeing 747, so riders pass through an aircraft before hitting the water. The site was bought out of bankruptcy in April 2020 by the Stoller Group, which began repairs on the museum and water park and planned to expand the 50-acre vineyard on the grounds.
The water park sits across Oregon Route 18 from McMinnville Municipal Airport, next to the aviation and space exhibit halls. It is reached by car, with parking on the grounds. The building was bought in July 2016 by The Falls Event Center for $10.9 million, and the Stoller Group began repairs after its April 2020 purchase of 285 acres that included the water park.
The water park's slides are built into a retired Boeing 747 mounted on the roof, so riders enter the aircraft before descending. The plane is a separate structure from the museum's Spruce Goose, which sits across Oregon Route 18 in the aviation exhibit hall.
