Before You Leave Home
Staying safe means staying informed, and we want you to have essential information before you arrive.
WildWater Adventure Water Park will open with limited capacity so you can maintain proper social distancing from other guests. To ensure that happens, you must reserve your visit date online in advance. You must also provide information about the current health of family and friends coming with you to the park. Here are details about what to do, what to pack, and what you can expect.
What to Do Before You Leave Home
1. Reserve your date online.
- Season Passholders and single day ticket guests are invited to schedule their visits through our online reservation portal or the Store tab on the Michigan's Adventure mobile app. All guests must reserve their visit prior to arriving at the park. Please note that your preferred visit date may not be available.
- If you have already purchased a ticket or a Season Pass, please have your ticket number or Season Pass number available. Select the quantity of reservations for your group. You may select up to 14 people. On the next screen, you will be able to select an available visit date for your group. Following the date selection, please enter your valid ticket number(s) or Season Pass number(s). Once the barcodes have been validated, you will be able to schedule your reservation(s).
- If you have not purchased a Season Pass yet, please purchase your Season Pass online or through our mobile app. Once you have the barcode number in your order confirmation, you will be able to make your online reservation.
- If you have not purchased a single day ticket yet, please purchase your ticket online or through our mobile app. You will select an available visit date as part of the purchase transaction.
- After you have made the reservation, you will receive a confirmation screen and shortly thereafter, an email confirmation. These will help you confirm that the transaction was processed.
- The reservation will be attached to your Season Pass or ticket and you will only need to present those to be scanned for entry. Please note that each person must have a valid Season Pass or ticket to enter the park in addition to the reservation.
- If you need to purchase a parking pass, we recommend you do so now to avoid paying at the parking toll booth.
2. Complete the pre-entry health assessment.
- On the day of your visit, open the mobile app and complete the Health Assessment Questionnaire. Only one questionnaire is required per group. Your responses will be cleared each night, so this must be completed each time you come to the park.
- If your group does not pass the health assessment, we will ask you to reschedule your visit to a different date.
3. What to pack before you arrive.
- Your Season Pass, mobile or printed tickets.
- A face covering for each guest.
- A mobile phone with the Michigan’s Adventure app downloaded and "Location Services" enabled. At least one person in your group must have this, but we recommend as many guests as possible have the app downloaded to their mobile device.
Frequently Asked Questions
In the past, I could show up at the park, buy my ticket and get in. Is that still the case?
Unfortunately, no. Due to social distancing, we must limit the number of guests at the park. Please schedule your arrival date online or on our mobile app.
Who will need to make a reservation?
All guests will need to make a reservation before visiting the park. This includes Season Passholders as well as single day visitors. Please see details below for guests who are planning to visit as part of an organized specific day group.
I am planning to come to the park as part of a community group/organization – how do I get my reservation?
A group sales representative at Michigan’s Adventure will coordinate your group's arrival with the group coordinator. Please contact the representative who is helping coordinate your group for the reservation and any other instructions regarding tickets.
I bought a ticket somewhere other than the park website – how do I get my reservation?
All single day tickets can obtain a reservation through the park website or mobile app. You will need to enter the ticket barcode number to access the reservation system and attach the reservation to your ticket.
I have a ticket that’s valid for more than one day – how do I get my reservations for all of the days I want to visit?
You can make a reservation for as many days as your ticket is valid for (typically two) at the same time or as desired. The reservation process is the same as for a single day ticket but you would complete those steps two or more times based on the ticket type.
Will each person in my party need a reservation or can I book one for the entire party?
Each visiting guest will need a reservation attached to their ticket or Season Pass for every visit to the park. You will need to enter each ticket number or Season Pass number to add the reservation to each one individually. You can enter up to 14 numbers in one transaction to ensure everyone in your party gets the same date reservation.
When can I start making reservations to visit the park?
Season Passholders and single day ticket guests are invited to schedule their visits through our online reservation portal or the Store tab on the Michigan's Adventure mobile app.
How often can I visit with my Season Pass?
Each Season Passholder may visit as often as they would like, subject to reservation availability. Each passholder may have up to 3 active reservations at one time. Once you redeem a visit, you will be able to make another reservation.
How far in advance will I be able to make a reservation?
All guests are able to make reservations now. The first day of operation will be available for Season Passholder visits only. After that, all guests will be able to visit.
How will I find out when the reservation system is available and when additional days or space are added?
We will post this information on our social media platforms in addition to sending emails to all guests in our database. Please watch your email inbox and follow the park on social media.
If the day I want to visit is fully booked, what can I do?
There is no waitlist process, but you are welcome to continue to check back as additional availability may be added based on updates to local capacity guidelines and/or cancellations. Or you can pick a different day with inventory available to ensure you can visit the park.
Will more reservation spaces be added after a day goes online for reservations?
If a reservation is cancelled, that space will be added to the inventory available online. And periodically, we may be able to adjust total inventory. Please visit the reservation portal for information and updates of available inventory.
I have a Platinum Season Pass and want to visit another Cedar Fair park – how do I make a reservation?
Platinum Passholders wanting to visit other Cedar Fair parks should visit the website of the park they want to visit to view their visitation policies/make a reservation. Not all Cedar Fair parks have announced plans for reopening yet, so not all parks are accepting reservations or welcoming guests.
Note on Schlitterbahn
At Schlitterbahn the reservation process is a little different. Please fill out this form and we will help secure your reservation. Our team will work with you to try to accommodate your request.
Can I buy a season pass or ticket at the park?
No, you will not be able to purchase Season Passes or tickets at the park. Please purchase your Season Pass or ticket online prior to visiting the park. You will need the ticket or Season Pass number to make the online reservation that is required to visit the park.
I’m a new passholder and I have not yet visited the park to process my Season Pass. What do I need to do to before visiting?
As a new passholder without a Season Pass card, you will need to process your Season Pass. To make this easier and contact-free, you can now handle this online.
Simply create or login to your Michigan's Adventure website account, click “Manage Passes”, click “ADD MY PASS” and enter the Ticket ID you received when you purchased online along with any other outstanding profile information. Once you’ve completed adding your pass, you’re all set to visit. You can even add your pass to the mobile app for quick and convenient entry into the park.
Is there an extra charge for the reservation?
There is no charge for the reservation date. And if that is the only item in your shopping cart, you will not need to enter credit card information to complete the transaction.
Am I required to buy parking online?
It is not required, but it is strongly recommended that you purchase parking in advance online before visiting the park.
Michigan’s Adventure Season Passes with a season parking add-on and Platinum Season Passes include parking, so you just need to have your Season Pass available to be scanned at the parking toll booth.
Some ticket packages include parking, so you just need to have the barcode for that package available to be scanned at the parking toll booth.
Otherwise, please purchase a parking voucher online. One voucher is needed per car. This will be scanned at the parking toll booth.
What happens if I cannot come on the day I booked?
If you are unable to visit the park on the selected date of your reservation, please call/email us at 231.766.9959 or info@miadventure.com so that we can cancel the reservation and allow other guests to book that space. Guests who no-show for two reservations without contacting us to cancel them are subject to penalty and blockout periods.
Once the original reservation is cancelled, you will be able to make another reservation for a different date and time online or via the mobile app.
If the park is closed for part or all of the day due to inclement weather or another reason, you do not need to contact us. You will be able to make another reservation for a different date online or via the mobile app.
Can I transfer my reservation to someone else?
The date reservation is attached to a specific ticket and cannot be transferred to another guest or another ticket.
Do I need to complete a health assessment questionnaire for each person in my family or group?
No, complete just one questionnaire per group.
