Have some fun at Waseca Water Park this weekend! This waterpark sits on 3.6 acres! That's more than most houses in Owatonna. What's even better is that the park has a waterslide that stands 25 feet above the deck area, making the slide one of the tallest in the area.

The water temperature sits around 80 to 84 degrees, so even if it's a bit chiller outside, the water still feels amazing! Though, the best part of the waterpark is the inexpensive prices.

I truly love swimming. It's fantastic exercise and SO refreshing on a hot day. 

The park has an open swim every day from 12-7 pm, weather permitting. If you're not one for crowds, you can reserve an after-hours 'pool party' from 7-9 pm. (This is right up my alley!)

Though I'm not one for crowds, I'm hoping to take my niece here this summer. She loves waterslides, so I think she'll have a ball!! And it's just great to watch her have fun.

You can find the park at 200 26th Ave NE in Waseca. If you have questions, call (507) 883-0210.

Fun fact: The pool contains 240,331 gallons of water, and it requires 24 hours to fill! Yet, it only takes three hours to circulate all the water through a filter. 

LOOK: Here are the 50 best beach towns in America

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.

Keep reading to see if your favorite beach town made the cut.
