Upon your arrival to Castaway Bay Waterpark, we recommend selecting a meeting place such as the Waterpark Admissions desk, in the event you or your child become lost or separated from your party. Please alert an associate if your child becomes separated, as public address pages cannot be broadcast inside Castaway Bay Waterpark. Children who are separated from their parties will be taken to the Supervisor’s Deck Chair located across from Castawave Pool.
For your convenience, lockers are located just inside the waterpark, across from the restrooms. Various locker sizes are available for personal belongings. Locker rentals are automated and may be paid using Credit and Debit Cards. The lockers work with electronic pin codes and will allow unlimited access throughout the day.

Castaway Bay cannot be held responsible for lost or stolen items. Lockers at Castaway Bay are not transferable to or from Cedar Point or Cedar Point Shores.

Some attractions require Guests below a specific height to put on a life jacket before participating in the attraction. Aquatics staff and lifeguards reserve the right to impose the use of life jackets as needed. For specific attraction requirements, please visit our accessibility guide. Guests are permitted to wear their own life jacket; however, it must be Coast Guard approved.
