Darien Lake Goes to the Lions – Or rather – Sea Lions

I went to Darien Lake Theme Park's press day. You could feel the electricity in the air as news media milled about with notepads, microphones and cameras. And when the announcement came, Darien Lake didn’t have a single announcement - they had several.  Here are some of their changes:

Darien Lake has some new “furry” friends.  Sea Lions have come to stay, and perform daily at the Sea Lion Splash shows.  These entertaining animals will keep you captivated with their gymnastic prowess, and ability to sing – yes, sing.  While they aren’t performing, visit them in a natural habitat created just for them.

SPLASH TOWN at Darien Lake! - Darien Lake’s Five Acre Water Park Expansion 

Whether you’re whirling around and around on one of the three new slides, paddling down the Lazy River on an inner tube, or taking the kids to a wave pool that’s just their size, you’ll have to agree they did things right when Darien expanded its water park. Never fear, you can still scale the pirate ship, feel the challenge of a powerful wave, or hurl through the twirling vortex of the Tornado, but the added attractions enhance the cool excitement of summer, as you splash away your cares.  Splash Town at Darien even has its own entrance, so you can spend the entire day sliding and bobbing, or get a combo ticket for thrills on land and water.  

Darien’s Cabins?  Yes, Darien Lake Theme Park now has cabins lining the lake that can sleep up to eight people.  The kids will love the loft and large flat-screen TV, while the parents appreciate a little time in front of the fireplace, or relaxing on the front porch. 

Lodge on the Lake Hotel’s new Forts-o-Fun.  The key here is privacy, for children and parents.  Keep the kids within earshot, but give them their own space. Children will enjoy playing games on the TV and hanging out in their bunk beds.  It’s their very own “Fort,” but it’s built into the main room so parents are only steps away.

I left there feeling excited about the Darien Lake Packages we offer at the Chamber of Commerce.  I know that the additions are going to make for extra special memories this year.  If you are interested in one of our packages, contact me at 1-800-622-2686 ext. 32.  (Mon-Fri 8am-4pm).
