JULIAN — Yes, it’s hot out. We all know that.
Last week, temperatures were in the 90s or upper 80s with heat indexes over 100 degrees and it’s not even August yet.
How can you “beat the heat?”
One great way is to visit Water Ways theme park, which is located on U.S. 119 (Corridor G), just minutes from Charleston and Madison, in Julian, which opens this Saturday, May 25.
Water Ways Theme Park in Boone County attracts over 50,000 visitors annually. Funds from the Coal Severance Tax are used to build and staff parks, pay lifeguards and provides for the upkeep of Boone County’s premiere tourist attraction.

The park is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Adult admission is still $12; child admission for children at least 44” tall up to 11-years-old is $9; children under 44” but at least 5 years of age $5; and children four-years-old and under are free with adult admission. Punch and season passes are available, as well as group rates.
“Please understand that if your child is not tall enough to ride the slides, for $5 they have access to two kiddie pools, a lazy river, a regular pool, and unlimited miniature golf,” park officials said. “You will not find that price for those amenities anywhere else.”
