Hawaiian Falls in Mansfield and Roanoke have big plans for the Independence Day holiday weekend. Both parks will participate in their respective city’s holiday celebrations, and both will offer extended hours for the weekend.
“The holiday weekend is the perfect time to gather friends and family and visit one of our waterparks,” said Ryan Forson, Managing Director of Hawaiian Falls. “No matter the age, everyone in the family will have fun playing in the water, floating down the Lazy River, or racing down the slides. Or maybe you just want to relax in the shade while the kids play. There’s certainly something for everyone this weekend.”
Kicking off the holiday weekend, both waterparks will open at 10:30 am to 8:00 pm on Friday, July 2nd. Hawaiian Falls season passholders get entry to the waterpark 30 minutes before the general public as one of the many benefits of being a passholder. 
On Saturday, July 3, Hawaiian Falls Mansfield will open at 9 am (90 minutes early) with season pass holders having access at 8:30 am. Hawaiian Falls will close to the public at 5 pm to make way for the City of Mansfield’s Independence celebration, Mansfield Rocks! The special “After Hours” ticketed event, Mansfield Rocks will feature live entertainment, premium parking at Big League Dreams, close up viewing of the fireworks, and access to the Hawaiian Falls wavepool. Tickets are very limited and must be purchased through the City of Mansfield. More information is available at MansfieldRockin.com
Hawaiian Falls Roanoke will open from 10:30 am – 5 pm on Saturday, July 3.
Of course, season pass holders can get in as early as 10 am. The park will close at 5 pm to make way for the City’s “Roanoke's 3rd Rocks” celebration! 
During this special “After Hours” ticketed event, Hawaiian Falls Roanoke will feature live entertainment, including hula dancers, drummers and fire breathers. Guests will have the best seat in town, and the most refreshing, to view the fireworks from the Hawaiian Falls wavepool. Tickets are very limited. More information is available at hfalls.com/roanoke.
Tickets must be purchased in advance at Hfalls.com and options for Roanoke’s 3rd Rocks include:
• Hawaiian Falls Roanoke Freedom Salute Pass (All-Day Admission plus access to After Hours event) is $38.99 per ticket
• Hawaiian Falls Firecrackers Pass at $30 per person for access to the After Hours event only
• Season pass holders can upgrade at the gate for $5 per pass to stay for the After Hours event from 5:30 pm – 9:30 pm or in advance through their online season pass account.
Hawaiian Falls Mansfield and Roanoke will open on Sunday, July 4th, and Monday, July 5 with extended hours from 10:30 am – 8 pm. 
The whole family can enjoy daily Ohana (family) Games, led by the Hawaiian Falls Activity Director with Bubbles & Balloons on Sunday and Art Master Monday; Toss it Up Tuesday; Waimea Wednesday; and Kua Kua Games Thursday, Baller Friday, and Splashing Saturday. 
Each waterpark is filled with exciting attractions, including new attractions such as the Coconut Cove activity pool in Roanoke featuring water basketball and a floating obstacle court; and the Turtle Bay in Mansfield, which boasts five slides for younger children and a floating obstacle course.
Everyone will love all the varied food options, including a Fourth of July combo meal with a hot dog, chips, drink and a slice of apple pie for only $7 (while supplies last.) Other food options range hamburgers, hotdogs and chicken finger meals to craft pizzas. And everyone loves the Dole Whip, a swirled-pineapple soft-serve ice cream dessert. There’s also a refreshing new Slushie treat that is offered by the yard in a variety of flavors.
