Also called the Totally Tubular Aqua Park, this floating inflatable course sits at the Ocean City Boathouse Marina on Bay Avenue, a separate site from the Totally Tubular Watersports dock. Visitors ages 6 and up book 45-minute sessions that start on the hour and are supervised by lifeguards, with life vests included; younger children ages 4 to 7 get their own Small Splash time slots. Session times depend on the tide, and the park runs daily during the summer season.
