Kool Runnings Water Park





           Hello again, on this post i'm going to be writing about the thrilling and fun-filled Kool Runnings water park which is an excellent getaway for families. The water park is located o the long stretch of beaches mentioned in my previous post called Negril. I personally remember visiting this park a few years ago and having an amazing time with my family. The workers were great, the food, the water slides were great and obviously the live animal show was amazing.

           I also feel that it is a really great place to take a family because while some rides are both thrilling and exhilarating like the "lightening bolt" others are quite calming like the "Rio Bueno Leisure river," so depending on whether you are looking for relaxation or thrill this water park is great. My favorite water slide would have to had been the green grotto water slide, which was done as a tribute to the green grotto caves in Jamaica. This specific water slide featured complete darkness in order to make it feel as if the rider was actually in a dark cave. There were nine large water slides in total that you can visit once you enter the park which you can ride as many  times as you want to. As well as amazing water slides the park also features great food. The water park has many places were food can be purchased, this includes the Knock out sports bar, sweet potato grill, kool blends juice bar, the dash-een restaurant and guava jelly cafe. My personal favorite to enjoy a good meal would be the knock out sports bar which has an excellent 'from the grill' menu at a great price. On the other hand if the family would just like to have a small snack , I recommend the guava jelly cafe, which has a less filling menu to chose from. As well as food and slides, the park also features live entertainment on certain days. As previously stated I remember visiting the park with my family ad friends and being able to witness an animal show, in which the main star was a snake! Once again adding to my already trilling experience.
           If water slides aren't your thing, at the park there is also a large section called the Adventure zone which features a large array of exciting activities. The Adventure zone is completely seperate from the waterpark, but both can still be visited in a day. The activities that ca be done in this area include the Kayaking adventure, go-cart racing, outdoor lazer combat, jamboo rafting, kool kanoe adventure and the paintball adventure. My personal favorite would have to have been the Jamboo rafting which is in a more relaxing setting and allowed guests to sit on a wooden raft as it sailed along a breathtaking river.

           This area of the park also features the same restaurants as the water park section and also has in girt shop in which souvenirs can be bought and a game arcade a large selection of games can be played by kids and kids at heart. 
           Now onto the prices of the water park. There are many packages that families as able to chose from, the first being admission into the water park section. For general admission into the water park the price in only $33 each and rides on all the water slides are included. For $69 each for rides on all the water slides plus select adventure zone rides. In order to ride the rides that are not included in this VIP package, they must be paid for separately. For example the go-cart racing is $7.50 per person, the outdoor laser combat is $20 per person and the Jamboo rafting is $44 per person. 

Hope you enjoyed my post, next time I will be writing about an adventure park, filled with unique attractions
