Memorial Day weekend is the traditional kickoff to summer, but it also represents an important holiday recognizing those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Observed on the last Monday of May, Memorial Day honors the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces.

In honor of those heroes, Hawaiian Falls will offer free admission (with one paid admission) Friday, May 28 – Monday, May 31, for any active duty military personnel and veterans. Active duty personnel can show their military ID card at the front gate. Veterans can show their DD-214 form or any state-issued photo ID with a “Veteran” designation. As always, kids two and under are free.

“We will always honor our servicemen and women, as well as veterans,” said Hawaiian Falls Managing Director Ryan Forson. “We can’t think of a better way to officially kick off the summer season than to invite them to relax and enjoy a day at one of our waterparks during Memorial Day weekend.”

Season passholders always get in 30 minutes before the general public. Beginning Thursday, May 27, the waterparks will open daily for the rest of the summer. Hours for Memorial Day weekend are as follows:

Thursday, May 27 – 11 am – 5 pm
Friday, May 28 – 10:30 am – 8 pm
Saturday, May 29 – 10:30 am – 8 pm
Sunday, May 30 – 10:30 am – 8 pm
Monday, May 31 – 10:30 am – 8 pm

More information, including hours, directions, tickets and season passes, is available at hfalls.com.

Hawaiian Falls in Mansfield, Roanoke, and Waco are managed by ProParks Attractions Group, an industry leading attractions company that acquires, develops, and manages waterparks and family entertainment centers.
