Cherry Hill Fruit Heights
A family water park and campground on the old orchard bench
Cherry Hill, the Fruit Heights water park and campground
Cherry Hill is a family run water park, mini golf course and campground on about twenty acres of old orchard ground in Fruit Heights, the bench town just above Kaysville. The water park runs in summer and the campground far longer, and the one rule that trips people up is that the whole place is closed on Sundays. Here is what is on the site, when it opens, and how a visit fits a day in Davis County.

The short answer
Cherry Hill is a family run water park, mini golf course and campground on one site at 1325 South Main Street in Fruit Heights, just above Kaysville and a few miles north of Lagoon. The same family has run it since the 1960s, and it is smaller and cheaper than Lagoon, more a summer water park and a place to camp than a full amusement park. The water park opens for the summer season, roughly Memorial Day into early September; the campground runs much longer, spring through fall. The one thing to get right before you drive: it is closed every Sunday all season, and every price and date is the operator's and changes each year, so confirm at the source.

What it is
A water park, a campground and a mini golf course, all on one orchard block
The honest way to describe Cherry Hill is a family water park with a campground behind it, run by the same family that started it in the 1960s. The water side is the draw in summer: slides, pools and the play structures that make a hot Saturday disappear. Around it, and open on their own, are the dry attractions, the ones a family with a range of ages actually needs. Cherry Hill Greens is an eighteen hole mini golf course the founder built. There is a climbing rock, a maze, and a few other add on activities you can fold into a water park ticket or pay for on their own.
Behind all of that is the campground, roughly a hundred and twenty sites with tent spots and RV hookups, which is what lets Cherry Hill be a weekend rather than an afternoon. Food is on site too, from the Pie Pantry with its pies and frozen yogurt to a pizza spot and a grill, and the place is alcohol free and smoke free. It is smaller and calmer than Lagoon down in Farmington, and that is the point of it: a water park you can afford, a round of mini golf, and a tent or an RV pad a short walk from the slides.
In October the whole site turns over to Scary Hill, Cherry Hill's Halloween season, with a spooky maze, haunted tractor rides and the mini golf run after dark. Like the summer season, its dates and hours are the operator's and move each year, so treat any month here as the shape of the year rather than a schedule.
The details
Before you go
- It is closed on Sundays all season. That is the mistake people make most often, so plan on a Saturday for the weekend visit.
- Prices, pass types and exact dates are the operator's and change every year, so read the current card at the operator's site before you drive.
- There is no free age for the youngest children, and buying tickets online usually saves a little over the gate.
- Camping guests get a discount on water park tickets, which is worth pricing if you are already staying the night.
When it opens
Two seasons that do not line up, and a Sunday rule that holds all summer
Cherry Hill really runs on two calendars. The water park is a summer thing, open roughly from Memorial Day weekend into the first half of September, with full days through the middle of summer and shorter Friday evening and Saturday hours as the season winds down. The campground keeps a much longer season, with full services spring through fall and limited winter camping for self contained RVs, which is why the two do not open and close together.
The rule that catches families out is Sundays. Cherry Hill is closed every Sunday, all season, without exception, so a Sunday drive to the water park is a wasted one. Beyond that, the exact opening and closing dates, the daily hours, and every price move a little each year, and Cherry Hill sets them itself, and they would be wrong within a season if quoted here. Read the current days, hours and prices at the operator, and if you want the county's dated snapshot of what a Davis day out costs, it lives on the family weekends page below.
Check the day and the price at the operator before you drive, and remember it is closed on Sundays. Every opening date, closing date, daily hour and admission at Cherry Hill is the operator's own and changes from one year to the next, so read the current card at cherry-hill.com, confirm it is not a Sunday, and treat the county's family weekends page as a dated snapshot rather than a live schedule.
The orchard ground
Before the slides, this was a working fruit farm on the slope that named the town
The name is not decoration. Cherry Hill sits on ground that was orchard, on the bench that carried fruit trees for a century, in a town that took the name Fruit Heights in 1939 because of the fruit industry. The site is about twenty acres, and it is the largest surviving block of that old farm ground in the city that never became houses. Almost everything around it did, as the orchards on the bench gave way to streets over the second half of the last century.
That history is why the place feels the way it does, a big open block of ground with room for a campground rather than a tight commercial lot, and it is why the mini golf and the pies read as small and homemade rather than corporate. It has been run by one family since the 1960s, and the founder built the mini golf course himself. If the orchard story is the part that interests you, the wider version of it, how a bench of fruit trees became a town of several thousand, is told on the orchards page.
Which city
Kaysville on the mail, Fruit Heights on the map, and both are correct
People notice that Cherry Hill's own site gives a Kaysville address while directories often list it under Fruit Heights, and both are right. The mailing address reads Kaysville because the ZIP code, 84037, belongs to Kaysville, and Fruit Heights has no ZIP of its own, so the post for every property in the town reads Kaysville. The site itself sits inside Fruit Heights city limits, on the east side of Main Street. So the envelope says one town and the city line says the other, and nobody has made a mistake.
For a family planning a Saturday, none of that matters. Put the address in your phone, aim for the Cherry Hill exit off US-89, and you are there. It matters more if you are looking at homes near the site, because a ZIP code and a city are two different things here, and which town a house is in decides the taxes, the schools and who answers a permit. That side of a Fruit Heights address, the practical one with figures attached, sits on the Fruit Heights city guide.
Quick answers
Cherry Hill, answered
Cherry Hill is a family run water park, mini golf course and campground on one site at 1325 South Main Street in Fruit Heights, the bench town just above Kaysville. The same family has run it since the 1960s. It is smaller and quieter than Lagoon down the road in Farmington, and it packs a lot onto about twenty acres: water slides and pools, the Cherry Hill Greens mini golf, a climbing rock, a maze, and a campground behind it all.
The water park runs in the summer, roughly from Memorial Day weekend into early September, and the exact opening and closing dates move a little each year. The campground stays open far longer, spring through fall, with limited winter camping for self contained RVs. Cherry Hill sets its own calendar and changes it every year, so check the current days and hours on the operator's site before you drive.
No. Cherry Hill is closed on Sundays across the whole season, and that is the single most common trip planning mistake people make about it. If you are aiming for a weekend visit, plan on Saturday, and confirm the day at the operator's site because a few dates near the start and end of the season run shorter hours.
Cherry Hill charges admission, and it is priced by the operator by pass type, with day passes, evening rates, and season passes, plus separate pricing for camping. There is no free age for the little ones. Prices change every year, so read the current rates on the operator's site, where buying online usually saves a little over the gate.
Yes. Cherry Hill has a campground of roughly 120 sites, with tent spots and RV hookups, run alongside the water park. Full camping services run spring through fall, with limited winter camping for self contained RVs, and camping guests get a discount on water park tickets. Rates and availability are set by the operator, so book and confirm through Cherry Hill directly.
Quite a bit. Beyond the slides and pools there is the Cherry Hill Greens mini golf, an eighteen hole course the founder built, plus a climbing rock, a maze, and other dry attractions you can add to a water park ticket or do on their own. There is food on site, from pies and frozen yogurt to pizza and a grill. In October the place turns over to Scary Hill, its Halloween season, with a spooky maze and haunted tractor rides.
Both answers show up, and here is why. The site sits inside Fruit Heights city limits, on the east side of Main Street. Its mailing address reads Kaysville because the ZIP code, 84037, belongs to Kaysville and Fruit Heights has none of its own. So the post says Kaysville and the city is Fruit Heights, and neither is wrong. For a visit it does not matter; for anything tied to the city itself, it is Fruit Heights.
Plan on half a day to a full day for a water park visit, less if you are only playing a round of mini golf or stopping for pie. The site runs to about twenty acres, which was a working fruit orchard before it was anything else, so it is a real block of ground rather than a single pool. Campers, of course, can make it a whole weekend.
They are different days out. Lagoon, a few miles south in Farmington, is a large amusement park with roller coasters and a full ticket price. Cherry Hill is smaller, water focused and family run, cheaper to get into, and closed on Sundays where Lagoon is not. If you want thrill rides, that is Lagoon; if you want a water park and a campground you can settle into for a weekend, that is Cherry Hill.
A cheap family day out says a lot about a town. Living near one is the part I can help with
A water park you can afford and a campground on the edge of town are the kind of thing that makes a place easy to live in, but they are not what decides a move: how close a home sits to Main Street and its summer traffic, what a block on the Fruit Heights bench is asking now, and how the schools and the commute line up.
