Melt-Away Bay

Melt-Away Bay is a one-acre wave pool offering a variety of aquatic recreation at Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park for big kids, teens and adults.

Play in the bobbing waves. Float lazily on a raft. Sunbathe in a comfortable beach chair —on a sandy white beach. Take an invigorating swim or bask under a refreshing waterfall. Melt-Away Bay is an expansive oasis at the base of Mount Gushmore.

Cross Counrty Creek

Grab an inner tube raft, put your feet up and chill out in this gently meandering stream that flows around the perimeter of Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park. Pass through polar caves—large cave-like tunnels—and under gentle, misty waterfalls as your raft drifts aimlessly along.

Big kids, teens and adults can ride at their leisure and let the world drift slowly by, or use Cross Country Creek for effortless transportation to other areas of Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park. There are 7 locations to enter and exit Cross Country Creek.

Cross Country Creek is located at ground level and rafts are included with the price of admission. Grab a raft just about anywhere along the creek's route to soak up the sun and go with the flow.

Ski Patrol Training Camp

Make a splash at this play area designed especially for kids who aren't quite ready for the bigger waterslides and are too old for Tike's Peak, a special play area just for preschoolers.

Swoosh down curvy waterslides and inner-tube slides. Test your balance with a challenging ice-floe walk across a floating iceberg course. There's even a zip line where children less than 60 inches tall can grab a T-bar and hang on as they zip down over the water and drop into a pool. Kids just have the coolest fun on the mountain at Ski Patrol Training Camp!

Tike's Peak

Your little ones will have mountains of fun at this water wonderland made just for them. This preschooler play area offers scaled-down, kid-sized slides that resemble the bigger waterslides of Mount Gushmore.

The wading pool at Tike's Peak is very shallow, with a snow-castle fountain and pop-up water jets for tots to splash and play near. Children must be less than 48 inches tall to play at Tike's Peak. Tike's Peak is located on the ground level away from Mount Gushmore on the other side of Cross Country Creek.

Chair Lift

The Chairlift attraction transports Guests of all ages who are at least 32 inches tall to the top of Mount Gushmore in Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park.

Take a leisurely ride to the top of Mount Gushmore aboard colorful, wooden, ski resort type chairlifts with umbrellas and dangling skis. The Chairlifts provide a one-way trip to the top of the mountain for access to these water attractions at the Green Slope area of the mountain: Slush Gusher, Summit Plummet, and Teamboat Springs.

Note that you cannot take tubes or mats with you on the Chairlift. Also, a Gondola is available for disabled Guests to access the top of Mount Gushmore.
