Tickets to Thunder Falls Family Water Park - Mackinaw City given away in Sept. for 2008/2009 season. Plus 1500 $10 off coupons given out.

  Heated water in several attractions.  They have a giant wave generating pool, a huge lazy river and water slides for everyone.  Start out on the 3 slides that you ride down on single or double tubes.  Then graduate to the taller slides where you slide on just water going down the plastic tunnels.  Climb the stairs higher where you get a view of the Mackinac Bridge and plunge down the 2 tallest slides!  We found this to be a very clean park and they do not gouge on food and beverage prices like other theme parks.  Our family of four bought a pepperoni pizza and 4 drinks for $14.  A great place for a summer vacation starter to the U.P. or Mackinac area and again just before you go home.
