Water Parks


Orlando has some great water parks most of which are superbly themed, beautifully landscaped and lots of fun. Lockers are generally available for your valuables and you can also rent towels. Check before you bring your own snorkels, flippers, masks, rafts or innertubes - some parks prefer that you use their equipment. Coolers may be brought in, but alcohol and glass containers of any kind are prohibited. Good waterproof sun block (SPF 30) is essential and don't forget to re-apply every hour or so. Finding ample shade at waterparks can be a problem so any more than 3-4 hours might be overdoing it in the hot summer months.

Aquatica
Aquatica is a whimsical, one-of-a-kind water park only the clever folks at SeaWorld could create – a fab combo of up close animal encounters, flowing waters from serene to extreme, high-speed thrills and wide, sandy beaches. Guests essentially get to play in, over, and under the water! There’s nearly 60 acres of lush landscape inspired by the vivid colors and carefree lifestyle of the South Sea Islands.

Disney's Blizzard Beach
Disney's Blizzard Beach
Only Walt Disney World® could take a somewhat bizarre concept and make it work this well. Disney's Blizzard Beach is billed as a rapidly melting ski resort where chair lifts and ski jumps have been put to unusual use. Guests now surf the slopes and shred the peaks on rides like Toboggan Racer, where they fly headfirst down the side of Mount Gushmore.


Disney's Typhoon Lagoon
Welcome to Disney's other great water park.  This time it's a tale of a huge storm and a ship stranded high on a mountain by a giant wave. Welcome to Disney's Typhoon Lagoon!  It's a 56 acre tropical tanning zone that’s blessed with a big 4 foot surf wave that runs the entire length of the 2.5 acre lagoon every few minutes.

Kids Park at Wet 'n Wild
Wet 'n Wild
Located in the International Drive Resort Area, Orlando's original waterpark, Wet 'n Wild, is a great day out for all ages with it's emphasis on multi person rides that groups can enjoy together. After lathering up with sunscreen, load the family onto phenomenal four passenger rides like the Flyer, the Surge and the Bubba Tub!
