The Cove at The Lakefront™, nestled in Little Elm, Texas, is an expansive and inviting water park that promises fun for all ages. Spanning 42,000 square feet, this unique destination offers year-round aquatic adventures with a variety of attractions designed to cater to every visitor's preferences. Upon arrival, guests can immerse themselves in the zero-depth splash ground where young children feel safe splashing and playing without fear of deep water. For those seeking more excitement, The Cove features a FlowRider® Double that allows visitors to catch waves as they would on an ocean surfboard or body board. Additionally, there's a lazy river for leisurely floating under the Texas sun. The facility is open daily from Monday through Friday (4-8 p.m.), Saturdays (10 a.m.-6 p.m.), and Sundays (noon-6 p.m.). Whether you're looking to host a birthday party or corporate event, The Cove offers an ideal setting with facilities that can accommodate various needs. To ensure everyone's safety and enjoyment, proper swim attire is mandatory, and all visitors must adhere strictly to pool rules such as following lifeguard instructions and refraining from running, diving, extended breath-holding, fighting, foul language, glass containers, outside alcohol, smoking or vaping. The Cove at The Lakefront™ operates on a strict no-spectator policy; therefore, every guest—swimming or not—must purchase either a day pass or membership to enter. Admission also requires completing a waiver for all guests and legal guardians for minors under 15 years old. For younger visitors, the park enforces specific adult-to-child ratios: one adult per three children aged 0-6 years and one adult per ten children ages 7-9 years. Inexperienced swimmers must wear identifying wristbands and have an accompanying adult within arm's reach in water deeper than a foot. The Cove encourages visitors to bring their own food, with the condition that all coolers are no larger than 20 inches by 20 inches by 20 inches and free from glass containers or outside alcohol. Designated dining areas include outdoor patios and mezzanine terraces where guests can enjoy meals while taking in the scenic surroundings. Ride height restrictions apply to ensure safety on attractions: a minimum of 48 inches for the larger red, green, and blue slides, and at least 42 inches tall to body board or surf on the FlowRider® Double. The Cove™ is more than just water fun; it's an experience that combines adventure with relaxation in a picturesque lakeside setting. Whether you're splashing around in shallow waters or riding thrilling waves, The Cove offers something for everyone looking to make lasting memories. The facility reserves the right to refuse admission and revoke privileges at any time based on behavior or safety concerns. Please remember to store all belongings securely using day lockers provided throughout the park. With its diverse attractions and welcoming atmosphere, The Cove at The Lakefront™ invites you to dive into a world of aquatic fun that's perfect for families and groups alike.
