Navigating the fee structure requires understanding the difference between park entry and aquatic center admission. T.Y. Park charges a weekend gate admission fee of $1.50 per person for visitors aged 6 and older on Saturdays, Sundays, and county holidays. Children aged 5 and under enter the main park grounds free. Weekday vehicle admission into T.Y. Park itself remains free of charge year-round.
Access to Castaway Island requires a separate wristband purchased at the aquatic ticketing kiosk. For 2026, single-session admission to the water playground is $9.50 per person for an all-day or designated session band, while combined access passes that include the deeper pool lagoons run at $11.00. Spectators who do not plan to enter the water must still purchase an admission band to enter the fenced perimeter of the aquatic complex.
Annual Broward County water park passes offer cost relief for recurring visitors. A seasonal family pass covering up to four individuals runs roughly $175, granting reciprocal entry to other county facilities like Paradise Cove at C.B. Smith Park and Splash Adventure at Quiet Waters Park. Always verify pass validity periods prior to the Memorial Day rush.
