Margaritaville at Lanier Islands — Fins Up Water Park
Buford, Georgia
Fins Up is the big-ticket water day in the coverage area: a full water park and lakefront beach at the Lanier Islands resort, with slides and water play for a range of ages. It's priced like a destination — day tickets plus a parking fee — so it works best as the marquee outing rather than a casual afternoon. Buy tickets in advance for the lower rate.
