WAREHAM – You might have felt stuck in the summer of 2020 if you bought Water Wizz tickets at half price during the decades-old-landmark-water park’s annual Black Friday promotion in 2019.
Well, let’s hope you didn’t throw them away or lose them during the season lost to COVID because the park’s reopening June 19 and those tickets will be honored.
And for those who didn’t buy tickets back then, you have nothing to worry about. Tickets for the 2021 season will be available on the website, starting June 14.
Owner Patricia Kells said it felt “fantastic” to be reopening.
