The park was originally established as Emerald Pointe in 1984 before being rebranded under the Wet 'n Wild franchise.
It contains over 3 million gallons of water across its entire array of pools and slides.
The 'Dr. Von Dark’s Tunnel of Terror' slide features a 40-foot drop and a 360-degree spin.
The park's 'Runaway Raft Ride' is one of the longest in the region, featuring a multi-person raft experience.
The facility is home to a dedicated 'Lazy River' that stretches over 1,000 feet in length.
Emerald Pointe operates its own onsite water treatment and filtration facility to manage the massive daily volume of water.
The wave pool, 'Ocean Motion,' is designed to simulate authentic ocean swells reaching up to four feet in height.
Wet 'n Wild Emerald Pointe is the largest water park in the Carolinas, spanning over 40 acres of grounds in Greensboro. The facility features over 40 water attractions, including high-speed drop slides, a multi-lane racing slide, and multiple river-themed rides. It is anchored by a massive wave pool and a dedicated children's activity area known as Splash Island. The park utilizes recirculated water systems to maintain its various pools and chutes. It serves as a primary regional destination for summer aquatic recreation in North Carolina. The park layout incorporates significant elevation changes to support its gravity-fed slide designs. Guests have access to various rental amenities such as private cabanas and lockers. The facility is situated near the junction of major regional highways, providing accessible topography for its wide array of water features.
The observation deck overlooking the 'Ocean Motion' wave pool provides a clear view of the entire park's activity.
Arrive at the park gates before opening to secure a prime spot on the pool deck or near the wave pool.
Bring water shoes, as the pavement surfaces become extremely hot in the North Carolina summer sun.
Prioritize the high-thrill slides immediately upon entry to avoid the longest queues that develop by midday.
Do not wait to rent a cabana on the day of arrival, as they often sell out well in advance during peak season.
Open seasonally from late spring through early autumn; closed during winter months.
Appropriate swimwear is required; no denim, cut-offs, or clothing with metal rivets allowed on slides.
