Don’t forget to apply sunscreen frequently throughout the day. If you happen to forget your sunscreen, Island Traders has sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses available for purchase. 

Upon your arrival to Hurricane Harbor Rockford, we recommend selecting a meeting place such as the guest services building in the event you or your child become lost or separated from your party. Please alert an associate if your child becomes separated, as public address pages cannot be broadcast inside Hurricane Harbor Rockford. Children who are separated from their parties will be taken to guest services located in the middle of the park, next to Tsunami Bay. 

For your convenience, lockers are located next to Guest Services. Various locker sizes are available for personal belongings. Locker rentals are automated and may be paid using Credit and Debit Cards. The lockers work with electronic pin codes and will allow unlimited access throughout the day.
