Columbus Zoo is well known for its connection with America’s renowned animal adventurer, Jack Hanna, as well as some of the most spectacular zoo attractions in the world. With the addition of Zoombezi Bay, the Columbus Zoo added some thrilling additions and variety to their offerings.

The addition of a Master Blaster® and a Boomerango as well as 16 life-sized baboons and one sprawling octopus in a custom themed, AquaPlay RainFortress™ has given the park an edge. With an offering for multiple demographics, guests of all ages can take a break from visiting with the animals and head on over to Zoombezi Bay for a splash filled good time.

"I give a lot of credence to WhiteWater and their design team for taking our idea and running with it. There were tiny details that they really perfected; resulting in Zoombezi Bay breaking attendance records this past summer season, all while the weather was less than favorable."
