Step 1: Prepare for your visit to the water park.
Wear your bathing suit under your clothes, or bring your bathing suit along.

In the locker room you can get changed on a bench if you don't mind other people (of your gender) seeing you naked. , Nothing can ruin your day like getting a bad sunburn. , That way, you don't waste time looking for a restroom once you're in the park and walking around. , It may be helpful to get a map so that you can hit all the rides in one area and then move on to the next.
