Free Parking

Most families reach a waterpark by car, with bags, buckets, towels and a cool box, so a free space outside the hotel saves money every single night. This is the largest group in our listings, and it reflects how people actually travel to the parks. In the United States, almost every motel and resort near Noah's Ark in Wisconsin Dells, Castaway Bay in Sandusky and Water Country USA in Williamsburg offers parking at no charge. In Germany, the hotels around Therme Bad Wörishofen in the Allgäu, Rulantica near Rust and Badeparadies Schwarzwald at Titisee usually include a space too, which matters on a Black Forest weekend. Mosaqua in Gouda, Mersin Aquapark on the Turkish coast and Sozo Water Park in Lahore complete the top of the list. We tag a hotel when its listing states that parking is free, but conditions vary: some spaces are limited and first come, first served, some are on the street rather than private, and a few garages charge for vans or trailers. If you arrive late, ask the hotel to hold a space.
