FEDERAL HEIGHTS, Colo. — One of America's largest waterparks is opening for a 45th summer of fun.

Hyland Hills Water World opens for the 2024 summer season Saturday at 10 a.m.

The sprawling water park said it will operate more than 50 attractions on its 70 acres this summer. The park is open daily, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend.

Water World said parking is free again this year and picnics with factory-sealed, non-alcoholic beverages are allowed. Coolers are also allowed, with some restrictions.
