Tico Time River Resort stages a single, action-packed day along a mile of Animas riverfront: a 130‑foot waterslide and two slide jumps, three ponds with sand beaches, a zipline over water, complimentary paddleboards and kayaks, and courts for beach volleyball and disc golf. The setup delivers everything from adrenaline to low-key beach time in one place, making it straightforward to tailor a full day to a group’s appetite for play.
