Great Escape Central is committed to letting all of our visitors at our site to have an enjoyable, memorable and, above all, a safe experience at The Great Escape. Guests who "break the rules" may be ejected from the park without a refund. The park reserves the right to check all bags upon entering the park. A copy of park rules is available upon request once you arrive at the park.
 

Coolers & Picnic Baskets
No food or beverage, with the exception of an unopened, sealed water bottle or an empty plastic container for refill, will be allowed into the park. For the convenience of our guests, we have conveniently placed picnic tables just outside the gates. Furthermore, guests can come and go throughout the day, as they please, since the park has a very flexible reentry policy. All guests need do is have their hand stamped and they can come and go all day long.

Dress Code
The Great Escape enforces a dress code in keeping with our family environment. Tops, shorts, and shoes must be worn at all times outside of Splashwater Kingdom. Clothing with inappropriate words, phrases or graphics is prohibited. Proper swimwear is required in Splashwater Kingdom. No cut-offs, thongs, or denim will be allowed in Splashwater Kingdom. All clothing is subject to management review and discretion.

Line Jumping
Line Jumping is defined as: cutting in front of other guests, leaving the line for any reason and attempting to re-enter the line at the same point, or saving places for other members of your party. Once you move out of the line, you must go to the end of the line.

Child Swap Policy
It is the intention of The Great Escape to allow families to stay together throughout the day. Therefore, guests with children that don't meet the height requirement for a certain ride may take their child into the queue line to wait with them. At the time of boarding, one member of the party may wait with the child while the others ride. Upon return, both parties swap places.

Park Re-entry
If you wish to leave The Great Escape and return the same day, have your hand stamped at the Exit Shop and you will be re-admitted at no extra charge. However, due to special events, re-admission may not be allowed. Such notice will be posted at the Main Entrance.

First Aid
The First Aid Station is located between the Bavarian Palace and Cannonball Express Ride in the Fest Area of the park. EMTs are on duty to assist guests with special needs. Refrigeration of medication, as well as storage of medical equipment, is available. Due to the complexities of each individual's medical condition, The Great Escape employees cannot determine how suitable a ride may be for you.
