Tropic Falls in USA Today’s 10 Best Awards Competition

Tropic Falls, located at OWA Parks & Resorts in Foley, is in the running for the title of Best Indoor Waterpark. This nomination comes as part of USA Today's 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards for 2024. The candidates were chosen by a team of theme park experts and travel writers alongside USA Today editors. Now, it comes down to the public vote for their favorites.
