Helen Water Park named one of the best in the U.S.

A Helen waterpark is among the best in the country, according to Parade Magazine. The magazine this week released its list of the 101 Best Water Parks Across the US. Featured from Georgia are Splash in the Boro in Statesboro and Helen Tubing & Waterpark in White County.

The magazine writers said, “Sure, Helen Tubing & Waterpark has plenty of tall slides and lazy rivers like other water parks, but what makes it stand out? It gives you the chance to go tubing down the Chattahoochee River!”

The magazine featured two water parks from each of the fifty states (with an extra one thrown in from Virginia). It says, every single one of them “has a wow factor that will make you want to visit them.”

We found the list to be quite interesting: Check it out for yourself at parade.com.

When you’re in the neighborhood, you may also want to check out the Helen Water Park and see for yourself why it made the list. Guests can enjoy the water park seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tubing is offered seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., weather permitting. Tickets range from $12.99 to $24.99 per person.
