Big Surf Waterpark’s Season Passes Are On Sale This Week For Annual 'Blue Friday' Event

From waterslides to a wild half-pipe, to a lazy river the length of two football fields, Big Surf is a can’t-miss summer destination to have fun and cool off during the Lake’s hot summers. Families enjoy the rapids and wave pool, and the Surfside Grill keeps adults and kids happy too.

And just as the weather is getting cold, Big Surf's annual "Blue Friday" sale kicks off: huge discounts on season passes, this week only: Nov. 12 – 16. The sale started as a one-day event, but it was so popular, Big Surf has started extending it into a week-long chance to save.

Shop "Blue Friday Sale" Big Surf season passes now

Families love Big Surf so much, the waterpark sells about 1,300 Season Passes every year; General Manager Darin Keim says a huge amount of those are sold during the Blue Friday event. As well they should be: season passes are already a good deal for frequent "surfers" — they pay for themselves if you visit the waterpark more than three times in a summer. But for Blue Friday, passes discounted to slightly more than the cost of two visits.

Considering the 20%-off food discounts pass-holders enjoy, if you’re planning to enjoy Big Surf twice in 2019, it’s best to buy a Season Pass with the discounted price. CLICK TO PURCHASE

Here’s Why Lake Of The Ozarks Families Love Big Surf Waterpark

LAKE OF THE OZARKS, Mo. — There’s a place at Lake of the Ozarks that’s known for its crystal…

For 30 years, Big Surf Waterpark has been a quality, fun, family-friendly place that locals and vacationers can enjoy. But in addition to being a great place to cool off in the summer, Big Surf has also built a business model that gives back to the community. The waterpark has employed literally thousands of teens over the last three decades—teens who needed a summer job and who used their Big Surf earnings to save for a first car or college. Those kids catch the “giving-back” culture of Big Surf, too: at the end of a recent summer season, the teens from the kitchen staff pooled their summer tip money and donated it to Kids Harbor, a non-profit devoted to helping abused children in central Missouri. Big Surf matched their donation. General Manager Darin Keim said that was just the tip of the iceberg: “Our kids have done some awesome stuff over the years.”

Keim himself has been publicly recognized as a “Hometown Hero,” not only for his four years in the Army in which he participated in Operation Desert Storm, but for his role as Big Surf President and community involvement including service in AWANAS at First Baptist Church Camdenton, coaching baseball for nearly two decades, coaching 3rd-6th grade football, and past participation in the Buddy Pack Program.

It’ll be a few months before we can enjoy the hot weather and splash in the wave pool at Big Surf (they reopen for the 2019 season on Saturday, May 25th, Memorial Day weekend). But until then, a season pass stocking stuffer with the promise of warm days ahead will have to do!
