    Default Water Parks newbie questions

    Bring a beach towel or rent a towel? If I bring my own is it cool to leave it on the chair? Is it okay to leave a beach bag at your chair unsupervised? We do this all the time at our water park in OKC. Of course I an not talking about leaving valuables, just beach bag stuff.

    We always just rent the towel (along with a locker). It's more convenient and one less thing to bring with us.

    As for leaving things on your chair, we've never had any sort of problem doing that and we typically have a bag with lunch and snacks, sunscreen and maybe a book. Any valuables go in the locker. You shouldn't have a problem.

    We brought towels from the resort. We had a tote bag and brought two towels and a change of clothes. We left it on a chair in the kiddie area and it was not touched. We had NO valuables in there, as we had our KTTW cards in our swimsuit pockets. We LOVED not having to stop and deal with renting a locker and towel. Plus, kept costs down. When we were ready to leave, just went over, grabbed the bag, and left.

    I would not pay to rent a towel. Rent a locker if you need to store valuables, otherwise, just leave your clothes/shoes in a bag somewhere. Mark it with your name (we wrote on our bag with permanent marker) and make sure you remember where you left it!

    We have both rented towels and brought our own - it really depends on where we're going afterward, and whether we want to be bothered with drying them out. (Not an issue if you borrow from the resort.)
