Theme & Amusement Parks in Dixon

Magic Waters' vast expanse of twisting slides, heated wave pools, and colorful attractions accessible to all visitors entertains entire families. While swimmers play, troops of lifeguards with extensive certification and training ensure safety, and mascots stand guard to pose for pictures with children and warn against the dangers of going down a water slide in a full-body costume. After careening through the mysterious darkness of the Abyss tube slide, guests drift down 1,200 feet of lazy river or sun themselves on the shores the wave pool. Younger aquanauts puff up their water wings in the interactive complex of Tiki Island or leapfrog over floating lily pads in Little Lagoon.

After exploring the twists and turns of rivers and waterslides, guests refuel with burgers, pizza, and chicken at the Island Grill or indulge in cold, creamy treats at Culver's Frozen Custard. A lineup of upcoming events entertains all ages with contests and giveaways from Disney Radio on Friday Family Fun Nights, or the Herculean shifting of the hemispheres during Christmas in July.

Even with a lot of spare time, it's tough to fit a basketball game, a streetcar race, and an appearance on The Price is Right all into the same day. At Spare Time, however, the harsh realities of a normal schedule doesn't apply—one can fit virtual versions of all three activities into a single afternoon. There, gamers virtually breeze from rounds of Deal or No Deal to the hectic mazes of Ms. Pac-Man or the quiet hunting grounds of Big Buck Hunter. Ensuring a fresh rotation of new experiences, the staff constantly updates the library with new selections of both classic and modern games. Beyond the arcade cabinets and pinball machines, visitors can also play games in pursuit of plush prizes, just like real-life stockbrokers. The arcade also hosts birthday parties and other events in partnership with the attached bowling alley, Don Carter Lanes.
