Weather in Utah can be very unpredictable and can pose certain health and safety hazards. For example, if you are sensitive to heat, you should consider not visiting Cherry Hill on a hot day, stay hydrated, and/or limit your time outside. Only you can make informed decisions about weather forecasts and whether or not any given day would be appropriate for a visit to Cherry Hill. Please plan ahead as many activities need to be temporarily closed due to rain, lightning, or wind. Guidelines: Wet weather (including mist, humidity, rainstorms, flooding, etc.) makes surfaces slippery. On wet days, please exercise extra-caution when moving about Cherry Hill, going up or down stairs (hold handrails), using bathrooms, etc. Do not step directly into streaming or puddled water, since it may carry mud or other debris, posing a slip hazard. Storms (wind, rain, lightning, hail, etc.) tend to result in people scrambling for shelter, including in buildings or racing to get back to their car. People running in stormy weather pose slip/trip/fall hazard for themselves and others. People may be darting through parking lots, or around corners. Please proceed in an orderly and controlled fashion when seeking shelter from weather situations. In certain severe weather situations, Cherry Hill may shut down activities, and direct people to certain areas or direct people to leave altogether. Please make sure to obey all employee instructions, if any are given. Cherry Hill strives to remain open as often as possible for our guests, but there are some occasions where a storm or weather conditions do not permit for proper safety and operation of the water park and other activities. Please note that Cherry Hill does not offer refunds due to bad weather. Click here for more information regarding bad weather days. Hot weather poses a risk of sunburn and heat illness. People may not realize how much they are being impacted by hot weather until they develop heat illness. Some guidelines for heat: Always stay hydrated with water. Alcohol, overeating, and/or eating/drinking large amounts of sugar, are not advised. Use sunscreen on all exposed areas of your body. Reapply frequently. If you have been in the sun for prolonged periods, or if it is especially hot and/or humid, take breaks as needed from your activities, and relax in a shaded or indoor area to allow your body to cool off. Drink water to hydrate. Heat Exhaustion: Look for the warning signs of heat exhaustion, which include fatigue, nausea, headaches, weakness, slowed or weakened heartbeat, clammy skin and drenching sweat (often while feeling cool or cold), fainting or dizziness, excessive thirst, confusion or anxiety. Although heat exhaustion is generally not fatal, it can be—so you must take this issue seriously and take remedial measures by getting to a cool place and sipping water. Cherry Hill staff should be alerted to any heat illness issue you or a person in your group may be suffering from; we are here to assist you. Warning - Heat Stroke: Heat stroke can be fatal! It is the advanced form of heat-related illness, which can occur suddenly, particularly in extremely hot weather. If you or someone in your group experiences symptoms of heat stroke, GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION by alerting our staff and/or calling 9-1-1. Symptoms include mental confusion/delirium, loss of consciousness, very rapid or dramatically slowed heartbeat, a rapid rise in body temperature, drenching sweats that turn into a marked decrease in sweating accompanied by hot/flushed skin, shortness of breath, blood in urine, and/or convulsions.
