About Raging Waves Waterpark
Illinois's largest waterpark, with an Aussie theme from wave pool to mat racers.
Near Chicago in Yorkville, this Australian-themed park stacks gentle splashing and serious thrills side by side.
What you'll see and do - Float the lazy river and ride the Great Barrier Reef wave pool, or race the Aussie Mat Dash and brave Wonambi and the Tasmanian Twisters body slide. - Let little ones loose at Koala Kove, with four slides and minimal-depth pools, plus Brock's Giant Sandbox. - Ride the winding Crocodile Mile family raft, and book a private cabana to relax between rides.
