5 Reasons Moms Love H2Obx

As a mom, I love going to H2Obx. There are things for everyone in the family, and the park is extremely family friendly. Here are five reasons that we love it!


01. The food! The food at water parks isn't usually great, but H2Obx has real food. Salads, wraps, pizza, burgers, fish tacos... and more. They have fresh fruit and parfaits, plus pulled pork and chicken, and even loaded bbq nachos. There are four beers on tap including our own O'Connors, plus Obx winery Sanctuary Vineyards and several made to order signature drinks including milkshakes and Cheerwine floats. There is also funnel cakes, ice cream, and churros. 

02. The family areas. I love that there are areas that the whole family can enjoy. The whole family can enjoy Queen Anne's Revenge and the Rogue Wave, then head to the Adventure Lagoon to challenge the kiddos on this floating climber. Take turns on the rock climbing wall and see who can make it past the waterfall, then a dip in the wave pool or float around the lazy river. 

03. The kids' sections. Little kids will love Sand Pail Beach, which is great for babies through children. There are several different slides, water tables, sprayers, and swings. Then let kids run through Calico Jack's Cove, a huge wet playground. There are two wave pools, a smaller one for families, and a large one which is more intense. Lifejackets are offered throughout the park. 

04.Free parking! I can't even tell you how much I hate paying to park somewhere that you're paying to get in. 

05. The layout! I really think that this park was designed by a mom. The whole park is basically a circle, with the lazy river around the inner loop. This is great for littles who are either too tired to walk, or moms who are too tired to carry those littles. It's also great to take a float during nap time to get those babies to sleep. Sand Pail Beach is for moms with more than one kiddo. It is perfectly designed to stand at the bottom section for younger kids while the older ones run up and down the stairs to the slides. You can keep your eyes on both the whole time, which is something I really appreciate.
