WARNING: This Is NOT Your Average Water Park—Mountain Creek Adult Night Is a Whole VIBE
Listen. If no one has personally dragged you by the edges of your beach towel and screamed “You HAVE to go to Mountain Creek Adult Night,” allow me to be that friend. Because when I tell you this was the hottest pool party in Jersey—and I mean literally and figuratively—you might think it’s just another water park… but you’d be so wrong.
Welcome to Grown & Sexy Water World
Located in Vernon, New Jersey, Mountain Creek Water Park flips the switch almost every Friday night from 7PM–11PM and transforms into a no-kids-allowed, grown-folks-only aquatic paradise. Yes, you read that right.
21 and over only. IDs are checked at the gate. No kids. No crying. No water wings. Just bass, body, and vibes.
Note: Dates and pricing may vary—check mountaincreek.com for full pricing and selected Adult Night dates before you go.
The Deets You Need to Know
• Ticket: Approximately $35 (plus about $3 in taxes and fees)
• Parking: Included in your ticket
• Accessibility: I saw several people in wheelchairs. The park is absolutely access-friendly. If you have mobility needs, reach out in advance to ensure smooth accommodations
• Arrival tip: Get there early. You’ll want to beat the long alcohol lines, claim a towel-worthy spot near the wave pool, and enjoy all the slides before it gets packed
The Music? A Cultural Reset
They had a live DJ when I went—and he understood the assignment. The vibe was nonstop energy with sets that included:
• Hip-Hop
• Reggae
• Dancehall
• Reggaetón
• Afrobeats
Yes, Bad Bunny was on deck. And yes, I got my little dub in the wave pool.
Let’s Talk FAT JOY
As a plus-size baddie, I’m always scanning for vibe vs. judgment. Mountain Creek’s Adult Night passed with flying colors. There were bodies of every kind—curvy, thick, soft, strong—living their best chlorine-scented lives. I didn’t feel watched, I didn’t feel judged, I felt celebrated! If you’ve been debating whether to wear that two-piece—this is your sign to wear it.
Food, Drinks & All the Cravings
Classic amusement park food, no frills, and all the nostalgia:
• Chicken tenders
• Pizza
• Fries
• Burgers
• All the condiments you could want
Drinks? Oh yes. There’s a separate bar line (or three) with signature cocktails, oversized souvenir cups, boozy slushies, and even those massive novelty bottles if you’re really trying to set the tone.
Safety + Security
I counted lifeguards posted every few feet. There was visible law enforcement and EMS was on site. I felt safe, seen, and able to enjoy myself fully—without the weird energy that sometimes shows up at nightlife events. So… Who’s Coming With Me This Friday? Because I’m going back. No question. This event was fun, body-positive, safe, and unforgettable.
