They say that in the summer, the only thing separating Charleston from hell is a screen door. We have the antidote: All three Charleston County water parks will open for Memorial Day weekend + begin regular hours of operation soon after. These splashy attractions offer activities for all ages and you’re pretty much guaranteed to cool off a few degrees.
