Tadpole Bay Kids’ Play Structure at Noah’s Ark, Wisconsin Dells

Tadpole Bay is the children's water play area at Noah's Ark Waterpark in Wisconsin Dells, billed as America's largest waterpark. The zero-depth splash zone is built around an ark-themed structure topped with carved animal figures, including elephants, giraffes and gorillas, referencing the biblical Noah's Ark story that gives the park its name. Noah's Ark opened in 1979 and has grown to cover more than 70 acres with dozens of slides and pools. Tadpole Bay is designed specifically for younger children, with shallow water, small slides and interactive spray features separate from the park's larger thrill rides.
