This one is for the dogs! Even dogs enjoy a dip in the pool on a hot day. Actually, most canines absolutely love the water! And pet parents can let their furry family members splash around big time at Water World. The popular attraction is hosting its annual Bow Wow Beach Doggie Day on Saturday, September 9, 2023 — rain or shine.

Pups of all sizes are invited to the pool party.
Pups must be at least 1+ years of age. Pups must be leashed during park arrival and exit and must have a leash available at other times. Each pup must be accompanied by a responsible owner, ages 18 or older. And, as always, pet parents are asked to pick up after their furry kids. (Bags are available from all event volunteers and during arrival.)
Proof of current rabies vaccination and waivers must be signed prior entry.
Tails will be wagging because tickets are only $9.99 per dog. Humans get in for FREE. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Riverdale Animal Shelter.
Tickets are only available online. The number of tickets is limited per session.
There are three timed entry periods:
8 a.m. to 9:45 a.m.
10 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.
Noon to 1:45 p.m.
Human snacks, beverages and adult beverages will be available for purchase. Plus, furry ones can enjoy the Bone Apetreat, Denver’s First Dog Food Truck, selling all sorts of treats. Pup Cups will be sold for $3 with all proceeds directly benefiting Riverdale Animal Shelter.
Water dishes for the pups are located near all attractions and arrival areas. Plenty of pet-friendly tennis balls are available throughout the park.
Pet parents are allowed to bring:
Small play items, including tennis balls, throw ropes and small flexible discs.
Still cameras and video cameras, but no tripods allowed.
Collapsible bowls for food and water. (Bowls will be available with water throughout the park.)
Food storage coolers are prohibited.
Note: Attractions are not open and owners are not permitted to swim (ankle deep only) — only dogs will be allowed in the water.
