Zoombezi Bay

Zoombezi Bay may be closed for the season, but our friends next door at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium have all kinds of fall fun waiting for you with Boo at the Zoo! Boo at the Zoo will run October 10-26 on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays in the Adventure Cove region.

Important Update for Oktoberfest at Zoombezi Bay:

Due to forecasted cooler temperatures on Sunday, September 7, 2025, we have elected to close the waterpark instead of holding our previously-scheduled activities. However, Oktoberfest will still take place as planned on Saturday, September 6, which will also be the final day of our 2025 season.

We know many of you have planned to join us this weekend, and we appreciate your understanding as we make this adjustment to ensure the best possible guest experience!

📅 Saturday, September 6 – Oktoberfest and the last operating day of the 2025 season
🚫 Sunday, September 7 – Closed

Thank you for being part of a wonderful season at Zoombezi Bay. We look forward to celebrating with you on Saturday!

REMINDER: Tonight from 5-9pm, Zoombezi Bay offers Quiet After Hours!

This event is ideal for guests to enjoy the attractions of our waterpark during a less stimulating time, without the added background sounds (such as music throughout the park) that can be challenging for sensory needs.

Tickets are available for $15.99 for general guests and free to Season Pass and Gold Member holders. Visit https://www.zoombezibay.com/events/quiet-after-hours for more information and to purchase your tickets. Tickets will additionally be available for purchase at the gate.
