What Is Mt. Olympus Water & Theme Park?
Mt. Olympus is a large Wisconsin Dells resort complex combining an indoor waterpark, indoor theme park, seasonal outdoor waterpark, seasonal roller coasters, go-karts, lodging and resort amenities. That makes ticket planning more complicated than a normal single-gate outdoor waterpark.
Indoor Waterpark
Year-round water attractions including Medusa’s Slidewheel, Serpent’s Pool and River Styx.
Outdoor Waterpark
Seasonal slides, wave pools, kids areas and the 145-foot Rise of Icarus.
Theme Parks
Indoor family rides plus seasonal outdoor roller coasters and go-kart attractions.
Resort
Mt. Olympus lodging packages include water and theme park access for registered resort guests.

Indoor vs Outdoor Mt. Olympus: Know What Your Ticket Can Actually Access
Indoor Water & Theme Parks
Mt. Olympus promotes its indoor waterpark and indoor theme park for year-round operation, although individual attractions and hours can still vary.
- Medusa’s Slidewheel
- Serpent’s Pool
- River Styx
- Indoor pools and children’s water features
- Indoor theme-park rides
Outdoor Water & Theme Parks
Outdoor water attractions, coasters and go-karts are seasonal. Mt. Olympus currently describes the outdoor waterpark as operating roughly from mid-May through mid-September, while specific ticket terms may use a narrower Memorial Day–Labor Day window.
- Rise of Icarus
- Poseidon’s Rage
- Icaria Splash ‘n Slide
- Outdoor water slides
- Seasonal roller coasters and go-karts
Mt. Olympus Indoor Waterpark
The indoor waterpark is the key reason Mt. Olympus remains relevant outside the Wisconsin Dells summer season. It includes family pools, children’s areas, flowing-water attractions and one of the property’s most unusual slides.
Medusa’s Slidewheel
42″ minimum High thrillA rotating waterslide combining raft movement with a large wheel-like rotating structure.
Serpent’s Pool
Family Kids areaPart of the 22,500-square-foot indoor expansion with a children’s splash/play area plus a more relaxed swimming section.
River Styx
Gentler rideA flowing-water attraction through themed indoor surroundings.
If your Wisconsin Dells trip is primarily about year-round indoor waterparks, compare this setup with our Wilderness Indoor Waterpark day-pass and family-planning guide . Wilderness uses a different multi-waterpark resort layout, so the comparison is particularly useful for fall, winter and spring trips.
Mt. Olympus Outdoor Waterpark Rides
Summer is when the full Mt. Olympus experience becomes much larger: major outdoor slides, wave pools, kiddie areas, roller coasters and go-karts can all become part of the same trip.
Rise of Icarus
145 feet 48″ minimumThe signature 145-foot body slide tower also includes four additional body slides that stand about 60 feet tall.
Poseidon’s Rage
Wave pool High thrillA large outdoor wave pool famous for producing powerful waves reaching up to about nine feet.
Icaria Splash ‘n Slide
Kids 10 slidesA 12,000-square-foot children’s water-play zone with ten slides, interactive water features and a kiddie pool.
Triton’s Rage / Fury
Raft slide 42″ minimumMulti-person raft-slide experiences that give families a shared ride instead of a single-rider body-slide experience.
Tidal Wave
Wave pool FamilyA large wave-pool environment with a clearly marked shallow area for guests who prefer gentler water.
Go-Karts & Coasters
SeasonalThe summer ticket value is different because roller coasters and go-kart tracks can operate alongside the waterpark. Availability varies with season and daily operations.
If your priority is a traditional all-day outdoor waterpark rather than a resort mixing waterparks, rides and lodging, compare Mt. Olympus with our Noah’s Ark Waterpark 2026 ticket, parking and ride-planning guide . Both are in Wisconsin Dells, but the visitor experience is very different.
Is Mt. Olympus Good for Toddlers and Younger Kids?
Yes, but families should plan around child height rather than simply counting the total number of attractions. Several major thrill slides start at 42 or 48 inches, while dedicated kids areas provide a very different experience for younger guests.
👶 Toddlers
Use shallow indoor play areas, splash features and age-appropriate pools. Keep sessions shorter and plan changing/rest breaks.
🧒 36–47 Inches
Check individual attraction signs. Icaria’s outdoor slides start at 36 inches, while many larger attractions require 42 or 48 inches.
🎢 48 Inches+
Taller children can access many more thrill options, including Rise of Icarus when all other ride requirements are met.
Swim Diapers & Flotation Devices
Children still in diapers must wear swimmer diapers in the water. Mt. Olympus provides U.S. Coast Guard-approved flotation devices on a first-come, first-served basis, and guests may bring their own USCG-approved device.
Families whose main goal is a smaller hotel-style waterpark for younger children may also find our Atlantis Family Waterpark Wisconsin Dells guide useful. It explains the tradeoff between a compact child-focused hotel waterpark and the much larger Mt. Olympus resort experience.
Day Ticket vs Staying at Mt. Olympus Resort
This is one of the most important cost comparisons for families. A group buying several day tickets should always compare the live room price because Mt. Olympus includes park access with qualifying resort stays.
| Option | Best For | Main Benefit | What to Check |
|---|---|---|---|
| $35 Day Ticket | Local visitors / one-day trips | Simple one-day access | Exact date, open parks, extreme-ride exclusions, towel needs and current hours. |
| Resort Stay | Families staying overnight | Water & theme park access included with stay. | Room type, taxes, blackout dates, guest count and cancellation conditions. |
Resort-Guest Parking
Current Mt. Olympus resort offers specifically advertise free parking for resort guests. A universal current parking charge for every stand-alone day-ticket situation was not clearly published in the official material reviewed for this guide, so day visitors should confirm parking terms for their exact ticket/date instead of relying on an old third-party price.
Lockers, Changing Rooms, Showers & Towels
Lockers
Lockers are available throughout the parks for a fee. Mt. Olympus does not currently publish one simple universal locker price on the general FAQ page.
Changing & Showers
Free changing rooms and showers are available to waterpark guests.
Day-Pass Towels
Towels are not included with the current day-pass ticket. Bring your own or plan to purchase one.
Mt. Olympus Cabanas & Reserved Seating
Mt. Olympus sells cabanas and private reserved seating for families that want a fixed base during a long waterpark visit. Current resort materials advertise options starting around $35, but exact pricing depends on date, location and availability.
🏖️ Outdoor Cabanas
Summer choices include locations around areas such as Icarus, Delphi and Poseidon’s Rage.
🛋️ Indoor Reserved Seating
Indoor waterpark seating options can include lounge seating, tables and towels depending on the reservation type.
📅 Season Matters
Outdoor cabana availability is seasonal, while indoor reserved seating can be more relevant during cooler months.
Food, Drinks & Outside-Food Rules
Mt. Olympus does not allow guests to bring outside food or beverages into the water and theme parks. The resort operates concession stands, restaurants, snack outlets, bars and other food-service locations throughout the property.
Carry-in food, beverages and coolers are prohibited in the parks and common areas under current rules.
A $35 base ticket can look inexpensive, but a full family day also involves meals, drinks, lockers and optional upgrades.
Mobility Scooters, Strollers & Accessibility Planning
Mobility scooters are offered at ticket booths on a first-come, first-served basis.
Single/double strollers and wagons are available at ticket booths on a first-come basis.
Contact Mt. Olympus before travel if a guest requires a specific transfer method or accessibility accommodation.
Mt. Olympus Waterpark Map & Directions
Before arriving, also open the official Mt. Olympus resort information and park-map tools . A saved map is especially useful because the resort contains separate indoor, outdoor, hotel and parking zones.

🎒 Loose Articles
