Welcome to Crown Lake

The Biggest Floating Playground for Miles.

Crown Lake Aquapark is Arkansas's largest inflatable water park โ€” and the largest within 300 miles. Built by Union Aquaparks and floating on the crystal-blue 650-acre Crown Lake in Horseshoe Bend, it's a full-throttle obstacle course where kids, teens, and grown-ups can run, jump, climb, slide, and cannonball the day away.

Thirty-seven blue-and-white pieces โ€” slides, trampolines, climbing walls, monkey bars, runways, balance beams, and launchpads โ€” all connected into one giant water playground. Bring the whole family; a session on the aqua park is the kind of memory kids brag about for years.

  • 37 inflatable obstacles
  • 650-acre lake, pure fun
  • Certified lifeguards on duty
  • Coast-Guard-approved life jackets (free)
  • Kayak, canoe & SUP rentals
  • Birthday & group packages

Rules, Safety & FAQ

What's the minimum age to ride the aqua park?

Kids must be 6 years old or older to access the aqua park obstacle course. Little ones can still enjoy the beach and pools with a Resort Pass.

Are life jackets required? Do I need to bring one?

Life jackets are required for every guest on the aqua park โ€” and they're included free with your wristband. We provide Coast-Guard-approved jackets in every size. No need to bring your own.

How long is a session?

Each session is 45 minutes on the water, with a 15-minute reset between sessions. Want more? Add a second session at half price.

Can I book a second session back-to-back?

Absolutely โ€” and your second session is discounted. $4.99 on weekdays, $9.99 on weekends.

What Families Are Saying

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

Our kids are STILL talking about it a week later. The 37-piece course is massive โ€” way bigger than we expected. The lifeguards were awesome and the whole setup felt super safe.

Drove up from Memphis for my son's 10th birthday. Worth every mile. The private party setup was smooth and every single kid left with a grin.

We tried the aqua park then grabbed kayaks for the rest of the afternoon. Honestly the best value day-trip we've had all summer. Highly recommend.
