Tadpole Bay Splash Zone at Noah’s Ark Waterpark

Tadpole Bay is the children's splash area at Noah's Ark Waterpark in Wisconsin Dells, a park that bills itself as America's largest waterpark. The zero-depth zone centers on an ark-themed structure topped with carved animal figures — elephants, giraffes, gorillas — nodding to the biblical Noah's Ark story behind the park's name. Noah's Ark opened in 1979 and has since expanded to more than 70 acres of slides and pools. Tadpole Bay keeps things scaled down for younger kids, with shallow water, small slides and spray features set apart from the park's bigger thrill rides.
