Ocean Breeze Waterpark is excited to announce our Summer Entertainment for 2009. For the first time ever, we will be hosting live entertainment everyday starting June 5, 2009.

Bixby and Friends Presents: Rainforest Experience LIVE

Bixby invites audiences to join him on an adventure of a lifetime as he tries to save the rainforest. Special appearances are made by Bixby’s many rainforest animal friends including: Treetop the singing toucan, Allie the 18-foot Albino Burmese python, Archie the two-toed Sloth, Maddie the endangered Ring-tailed Lemur, and Jumps the Red-Eyed Tree frog.

Through the use of magic, comedy, audience participation, and a collection of exotic animals, Bixby and Friends Presents: Rainforest Experience LIVE will help families learn the value of and basic ways to save the rainforest and the environment in which we live. It will be an educational and entertaining event that your family will never forget!

Gorillas Can Give Blood Too

Last weekend Ocean Breeze Waterpark hosted a Blood Drive for the American Red Cross in our parking lot! It was the first time we've ever held a Blood Drive at the park and it was a success. I gave blood myself, and I particularly enjoyed the banana I was given after donating!

Paint on the Inside

While Ocean Breeze Waterpark is made up mostly of water slides, pools and lounge chairs, there's also lots of interior space too! Right now we're working on getting our gift shop, Island Trader, and the candy shop, The Treasure Chest, ready to open.

While the park is open, Island Trader is the place to come if you're looking for Ocean Breeze Waterpark souvenirs. We also offer bathing suits, T-shirts and footwear (flip flops and water shoes) for adults and kids. If you're looking for something special to help your Little One remember their great day at Buccaneer Bay, we have Pirate Souvenirs on hand too. We're also well stocked with towels, film, magazines, jewelry and goggles!

If you're looking for drinks or ice cream, you can visit Island Trader or The Treasure Chest!

In addition to drinks and ice cream, The Treasure Chest also offers a wide variety of candy. This year we'll also keep fudge and caramel apples in stock for the first time ever! If you have a sweet tooth, stop in and your craving will be fed. I love to go in and snack on our brand new chocolate covered bananas! Delicious!

Check out some of our latest improvements!

Pressure Washing and Painting

There's a lot of activity going on these days at Ocean Breeze Waterpark! Our maintenance crew is now working hard to get Runaway Bay Wave Pool ready for Opening Day. They start prepping the pool by pressure washing, and the pool then receives a fresh coat of paint. Getting the pools ready is just one task that goes into getting the park up and running. Over the next three weeks, I'll be sharing more behind the scenes photos and information leading up to Opening Day. Is there anything you'd like to know? Leave a comment and ask, and you might get your answer!

Bikers For Tykes and Troops

I had a blast hanging out at the Bikers for Tykes and Troops Motorcycle Rally last weekend! The weather was perfect, and everyone had a great time...including me! Here are some pictures from the fabulous event that raised money for the Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters and the USO of Hampton Roads!
