The human body, unlike raisins and the wit of Oscar Wilde, isn't meant to be dry. Be as nautical as nature intended with today's Groupon: for $8, you get one admission to The Cove Waterpark – Jurupa Aquatic Center in Riverside (up to a $16 value).

At the Cove Waterpark – Jurupa Aquatic Center, visitors slide, spiral, and splash past rows of palm trees on sinuous slides and Caribbean-themed attractions. Ascend the Crow's Nest to shoot down one of three slides, which splash and stretch for more than 180 feet, like a freshly showered giraffe. On the park's Ne'er Endin' River, riders weave beneath waterfalls and bridges aboard relaxing inner tubes. Pintsize pirates can splash through Lil Mate's Lagoon, crawling across nets and past giant treasure chests, and grownup adventurers can reminisce about their own days spent pillaging on the high seas or can choose to body-board into surging waves on the powerful FlowRider.

The Cove creates a safe and fun-filled atmosphere, prohibiting tobacco and providing life vests and lockers for guests who want to securely stow away their magical tridents.
