Bay Wave slideThank you for 12 Amazing Years!

Thank You for 12 Unforgettable Summers, Henderson. 🤍

To Our Cowabunga Family,

For the past 12 years, Cowabunga Bay has been more than just a waterpark. It's been a place where families came together, friendships were made, and Summer memories were created one splash at a time.

Since opening our gates in 2014, we've had the privilege of being part of countless Summer traditions. We've watched little ones conquer their first waterslide, heard laughter echo across the wave pool, and seen families return year after year to make new memories together. From the biggest thrills to the simplest moments spent soaking up the sunshine, every Summer has been special because of you.

That's what made Cowabunga Bay so much more than a collection of slides and pools. It was the people who filled it with life.

After 12 unforgettable years, we've made the difficult decision that Cowabunga Bay will not reopen for the 2027 Summer. We know this news may be disappointing, especially for the families who have made visiting us part of their Summer traditions. Please know this decision was not made lightly.

To our guests who spent their Summers with us, our team members who brought the park to life, and our community partners who supported us along the way: thank you. You helped make Cowabunga Bay a place filled with laughter, connection, and memories that will last far beyond our final Summer.

While our chapter in Henderson is coming to a close, our story in Las Vegas is far from over.

We're excited to continue welcoming families to Cowabunga Canyon in Summerlin, where the slides, splashes, and Summer fun will continue in 2027 and beyond. Our commitment to creating memorable experiences for the Las Vegas community remains, and we look forward to making even more memories together.

To everyone who has ever walked through our gates, raced down a slide, floated under the Summer sun, or simply spent a day making memories with the people they love, thank you for letting us be part of your story.

And thank you for being such an important part of ours.

With love and gratitude,

Your Cowabunga Family 🤍
