What Is the Splish Splash Class Action Settlement About?
Splish Splash waterpark has agreed to a $1,000,000 class action settlement over hidden ticket processing fees charged on online purchases. The Splish Splash class action settlement resolves the case Rodriguez v. Festival Fun Parks, LLC d/b/a Palace Entertainment, Civil Action No. 2:24-cv-01245-NJC-ARL, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York before Judge Nusrat J. Choudhury.The lawsuit alleges that Festival Fun Parks LLC (doing business as Palace Entertainment), which operates Splish Splash waterpark on Long Island, New York, failed to properly disclose a processing fee on electronic tickets before those tickets were selected for purchase. The plaintiff alleges this violated New York's Arts and Cultural Affairs Law (ACAL) Section 25.07(4), which requires ticket sellers to clearly disclose all fees upfront before a ticket is selected.
Festival Fun Parks denies that it violated any law but agreed to the Splish Splash settlement to avoid the cost and uncertainty of continued litigation.
What Is Splish Splash?
Splish Splash is a waterpark located in Calverton on Long Island, New York. It is one of the largest waterparks in the northeastern United States and operates seasonally during the summer months. Splish Splash is owned and operated by Festival Fun Parks LLC, doing business as Palace Entertainment, and sells tickets online through its website splishsplash.com.

• You were charged a processing fee in connection with the purchase
This Splish Splash class action settlement covers online ticket purchases only. If you bought Splish Splash tickets at the gate or through a third-party reseller, you are not part of this settlement.
How Much Will I Get from the Splish Splash Settlement?
Your Splish Splash settlement payment is a pro rata share of the $1,000,000 settlement fund based on the total processing fees you paid. The more fees you paid during the class period, the larger your Splish Splash settlement refund.Deductions from the $1 million fund include attorneys' fees (up to one-third of the fund), litigation costs, settlement administration costs (Epiq), and a $5,000 service award to class representative Adreana Rodriguez. The remaining net fund is divided pro rata among Splish Splash class members who file valid claims.
Do I Need Proof to File the Splish Splash Settlement Claim?
