If You Are Looking for an Exciting Adventurous Splashdown Slippery Slides, Come Down to Knight's Action Park
If you're looking for a fun summer splash, stop at Knight’s Action Park for a cool-off. Standing in Springfield, IL, the capital of Illinois, Knight's Action Park is the biggest waterpark in midwestern Illinois. If you are new to the city, then this is a great place to go and meet people. The park is spectacular for family fun. For a cheap price of 4$ per person, you can enter the park with a wristband that makes all the rides rideable! They also offer season passes for anyone wanting to have a summer full of blue.

The water park contains eight epic slides that are worth the climb to the top, as well as pools and lazy rivers for those who want to relax. The most popular choice is the Royal Flush, a fast slide that takes you into a bowl and you spin around the bowl before eventually falling through the hole into a pit of deep water. If you are someone looking for a daring adventure, then the blue slide is the best choice for you. This slide is the biggest slide in the whole entire park, and it is also the fastest. The Devil's Ray is a tube ride that drops you to a slope and you keep going up and down the highest point is close to the highway making it 5x more terrifying!
If you’ve got a little one looking for calm but fun enjoyment, then check out the mini play pools with water only up to 3-4 ft deep. There are plenty of slides and playgrounds in the pools. If you're looking for a relaxing evening at the park, then I bring you to the lazy river. The lazy river surrounds the entire park showing you everything you can do. I can go on and on about all the rides here, but I’ll leave that up to you to come and find out!

If you are not much of a water person, there are still things to do! Knight's Action Park has plenty of options for entertainment such as a driving range. This driving range allows you to have swell competition against your friends. If you like to golf competitively then the driving range gives you great practice, volume, and specificity. It also gives you a great opportunity to test, re-test, and refine your swing solutions in a stable environment. The range offers about 50-60 balls to hit per person.
Swimming can get pretty exhausting, but they have that covered with a soothing drink at the concession stands. They also have the most delicious foods you can think of such as cheese fries, hot dogs, cheeseburgers, fries, and nachos. Best of all, you can cool down with Dippin Dots and the exquisite flavors that come with it!

Knight's Action Park has a mini-amusement park with rides like The Big Wheel and The Paratrooper. The paratrooper spins you around and you reach velocities never seen before. The big wheel is a Ferris wheel if you are looking to just relax with a date or friend.
Last but not least, Knight's has mini golf! Play on their two 18-hole miniature golf courses for some wacky fun. You can challenge your friends to see who can finish the course first. It's also fantastic for family fun. Knight's offers you clean clubs and a single ball, and that's all you need to get started. It’s not just some ordinary course; some levels are very difficult and might seem impossible at first, but they are able to be conquered with focus!
