If you are vacationing along the Crystal Coast, and you've got kids, you know you need to find things for them to do in Emerald Isle while you are here.

One of the best places to take them is to the only Emerald Isle water park: Water Boggan. Located at the corner of Reed Drive and Islander Drive (about half a mile from the Emerald Isle Bridge), the Water Boggan is one of the oldest amusement places on the island.

There are several water slides, a game room, and even a snack bar. Prices are pretty good for a day of fun, and you know your kids will love it.

This isn't a huge park like you might find elsewhere, with dozens of slides and numerous other water-related areas. Water Boggan has 4 or 5 slides, but they are fast and fun, and in the 'things to do with kids in Emerald Isle' department, it is very near the top of the list.
