About Cascade Bay Waterpark

Cascade Bay Water Park is an outdoor water park in Eagan, Minnesota. While admission can be a splurge, parking is free so you’ll want to work that in when comparing prices with other water parks in the area. Overall, it can be a fun place for the whole family to spend an afternoon. Features include a zero depth entry pool, a large leisure pool, the lazy river tube ride, Sandpiper Beach and seven waterslides — hurricane slides, tube slides, typhoon slides, body slides and drop slides. Lifeguards are on duty during all open hours. The facility was recently renovated and updates include new decking and floors, re-coated slides, new shade structures and an upgraded sound system.

Those who need a break from swimming can maybe grab a lounge chair (they tend to fill quickly), spread a blanket on the grassy hill of Lookout Point or build a small sandcastle on Sandpiper Beach.

Best time to visit Cascade Bay

Less crowded: Families attempting to avoid the crowds will find that the best time to go is during the second session on weekday afternoons.

More fun: Eagan’s Spark Puppet Wagon makes a stop at Cascade Bay on Mondays. Learn more here.

Captain’s Course Mini Golf at Cascade Bay

Admission: $2/9 mini golf holes, $4/all day pass. Note: on busy days, golf is only available with paid admission to pool.
