Splash Lagoon Indoor Water Park Resort has earned 2nd place in USA Today's 10Best Readers' Choice Awards. The recognition marks the eighth time the Erie-based water park has been honored in the 10Best awards. 

This is the first time the water park has secured a top two spot. 

“We are thrilled to be ranked second in the nation,” said Nick Scott Sr., president and owner of Scott Enterprises, which owns and operates Splash Lagoon. “This achievement is a testament to our amazing team and the unforgettable experiences they create every day. We’re incredibly grateful to our community, guests, and fans who supported us throughout the voting process. This recognition puts Erie on the map as a premier family destination, and we couldn’t be prouder.”

USA Today's 10Best Awards invited readers to vote for top attractions across the country. Splash Lagoon was one of 20 indoor water parks nominated.

"With exhilarating waterslides, a colossal wave pool, a relaxing lazy river, and on-site dining options, it's no wonder that readers ranked Splash Lagoon so highly at No. 2," said Maggie Tyner, USA TODAY 10BEST Readers' Choice Awards editor. "The diverse attractions and amenities make it a versatile indoor water park destination."
