Will the ARC Waterpark be open while Water World is open?

Unfortunately, Williston Water World will replace the ARC Waterpark during the summer months. However, in the event of inclement weather causing Williston Water World to close, the ARC Waterpark will open, and guests will be invited to head on over to continue swimming!

Will any pools remain open at the ARC? 

Yes! Aquacise, Lap Swim, and River Walk will still be available as usual throughout the summer at the ARC. However, in the case of inclement weather and Williston Water World closes, we may have to adjust these times due to the ARC Waterpark opening for swimmers.  

We hope this has answered many of your questions! If there's anything we didn't cover, please fill out the inquiry form and a member of our team will be in touch within three business days!
