DreamWorks Water Park Tickets at American Dream near New York

Why the DreamWorks Water Park belongs on every New York itinerary

The DreamWorks Water Park at American Dream, just across the river from Manhattan in New Jersey, is billed as the largest indoor water park in America, with the world's largest indoor wave pool. Its headline ride is the world's longest hydromagnetic water coaster, joined by slides for every level of courage and themed splash zones for smaller children. The park is kept at around 27 degrees Celsius all year round, so it is a summer day out in any season; lockers, life jackets, food and parking are paid on site.

the DreamWorks Water Park sells out on ordinary weekdays, not only in August. That is why we ask for your date first and confirm the ticket in writing before you pay - so the visit is in your calendar, not on a waiting list.

Combine it with

A good pairing is an arrival transfer from the airport, this ticket on the first full day and the rest of New York on the days after; we can hold the whole plan on one WhatsApp thread.

Coming in from the airport? The AirTrain from JFK connects to the subway and Long Island Rail Road, and Newark has its own AirTrain to NJ Transit; both mean stairs, changes and crowds with luggage, and LaGuardia has only buses, so a car at the terminal door is the calm choice at any hour.

Best time to visit New York

Spring and autumn are the pleasant seasons, summer is hot and humid, and winter cold with occasional snow; the Van Wyck Expressway from JFK and the tunnels into Manhattan are slowest on weekday evenings.

For this ticket specifically, the first slot of the day is the quietest and the last the most atmospheric.

Getting around New York

The AirTrain from JFK connects to the subway and Long Island Rail Road, and Newark has its own AirTrain to NJ Transit; both mean stairs, changes and crowds with luggage, and LaGuardia has only buses, so a car at the terminal door is the calm choice at any hour.

If you are staying in Brooklyn: Williamsburg and Downtown, Long Island City in Queens and Harlem, you are well placed for it.

More to see in New York

Around this, the city offers the Empire State Building and Top of the Rock, Times Square, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Bridge and the 9/11 Memorial and One World Observatory. Base yourself around Long Island City in Queens, Harlem and Jersey City across the river and everything is within easy reach.

Where to eat before and after

Come hungry to New York: pastrami on rye at a deli, dim sum in Chinatown, a halal-cart platter in Midtown and cheesecake for dessert. There is time built into the ticket for a break, and the guide will point you to the honest places rather than the tourist ones.

A practical tip from our New York team

Tell us which of the three airports and which terminal - JFK alone has six - and the hotel's full street address, since Manhattan hotel names repeat across the city.

Specific to this ticket: Under 2 free; height limits per ride; under-14s supervised; no re-entry; no outside food.

Prices, children and how the booking panel works

The booking panel on this page shows the adult rate and, where the ticket has one, the child rate, in the currency we sell it in. Children aged 3–11 take the child rate; infants below that age are usually free where the ticket allows a lap seat, and we confirm it case by case. What you see is the total; card, Apple Pay and the other methods on this site are accepted at no extra cost.

Entry is per person and per time slot; a group of any size can book together as long as the slot has space, which is why we ask for the date first.
