5 Things to Know About Bringing Your Phone to a Water Park

Lockers are the safest option Most water parks have lockers for rent, usually costing $5–$10. They keep your phone completely dry and secure.

Waterproof cases can fail A tiny bit of sand or a weak seam can let water in and destroy your phone. They are not foolproof.

Test your case before you go Put a paper towel inside the case, submerge it in a sink, and check for leaks. Do not test it for the first time at the park.

Check the venue’s rules Some water parks ban cameras for privacy reasons, even in waterproof cases. Lockers avoid this issue entirely.

Ask if you actually need your phone If you are just there to swim, leave it in the locker. You will not have to worry about losing or damaging it.
