Note: Due to recent staffing shortages, these attractions may be closed or the schedule may be adjusted. Please call the facility at 919-996-5600 the day you plan to visit to inquire about adjustments to the schedule for these attractions.
Please note that hours may vary due to staffing capacity. Please call before visiting for the most up-to-date hours.
Please note that Buffaloe Road Aquatic Center has reduced capacity, and the large waterslide will have limited availability. The zero-depth shallow features (small blue slide, tumble buckets, floor jets) are currently not operational. We are working to have this issue fixed as quickly as possible.
We welcome all swimmers on a first-come, first-served basis as capacity limits allow. If the facility has reached capacity when you arrive, a waiting list will be available.
