Safety

We're all about the thrill, but safety is always our #1 priority at Bear Paw Adventure Park!

Adventure Island & Beach Safety

Your adventure will begin with a video describing the structure and rules for play. All swimmers must be geared up with a life jacket - a requirement to participate. Lifeguards are positioned throughout the floating water park to ensure safety for all participants. Participants must exit the Adventure Island course midway between each 100-minute session for at least 10 minutes. This break allows our team to reset and prepare for the next group of adventurers.

Bear Paw Adventure Park does not offer refunds for activities affected by weather, except in the case of thunderstorms or extreme winds. The park remains open under most weather conditions. If the park closes due to thunder, lightning, or extreme winds, and guests are unable to participate in their purchased activity for at least 50% of the time, a return credit will be issued. Guests are required to visit our onsite ticket booth on the day of the closure to request the credit. Requests for return credits cannot be made after the day of the closure.

No swimming under inflatables or removing life vests during your Adventure Island session. No flipping, horseplay, or jumping from one obstacle to another. Please make sure to look at the water below you before jumping. Please, only one person climbing on an obstacle at a time.
