The Splash Challenge Is the Signature Attraction

The X Tower Will Test Your Courage
The X Tower is Skylake’s massive floating tower built for thrill seekers. Jump from 40 feet or fly down a slide into a heart-pounding splash — the choice is yours. Either way, you’re going in.
There’s Something for the Little Ones Too
Younger guests aren’t left out. Tidal Trek is a kids’ course designed for smaller adventurers with big splashing energy, bringing all the climbing, balancing, and sliding fun of the big course, scaled down and built to build confidence.
Three Distinct Beaches for Every Vibe
Skylake features three unique shoreline experiences: South Beach, a refined adult escape for relaxing and soaking up the sun; SKY Beach, the high-energy heart of the shoreline with front-row views of the water action; and Splash Beach, a shallow, sandy area designed for younger guests to wade and play safely.
Water Slides, Kayaks, and Paddleboards Round Out the Fun
Beyond the obstacle courses, SKYSlides offers lanes for every kind of thrill from easy glides to full-throttle rides, while kayak and paddleboard rentals let guests explore all six acres of open water at their own pace.
VIP Upgrades Are Available
Want to take your day to the next level? Premium rental options include Sunset Sands Island — your own private island paradise for the day — and AquaBanas, private shaded cabanas on the water with dedicated service and the best seat in the house.
Annual Passes Offer Great Value
Two annual pass tiers are available: the Explorer Pass offers unlimited visits for 12 months with 10% off additional tickets for friends and family, while the Adventure Pass adds no blackout dates, standard parking, 20% off tickets for up to six guests, dining and retail discounts, and two complimentary guest tickets per year.
It’s a Partnership-Driven Community Gem
Skylake is already weaving itself into the fabric of Indiana. The park has announced a multi-year partnership with Grand Park Sports Campus to enhance family experiences around tournaments, and a partnership with Butler University to provide students with hands-on work experience in the entertainment industry. This is more than a water park — it’s a community investment.
