All dogs are required to have complete, up-to-date vaccinations and rabies shots to attend. Additionally, separate pool areas will be set aside for large- and small-breed dogs.
Hawaiian Falls’ season passes are not valid for admission as this is a post-season fundraiser for various DFW animal rescue groups.
Hawaiian Falls operates waterparks in Garland, The Colony, Mansfield, Roanoke and Waco. The waterparks are open to the public through Labor Day. More information at hfalls.com.
