From Roller Coasters to Water Slides, These are the Best Theme Parks in Florida
Best Waterparks
1. Aquatica
Consistently rated as one of the top theme parks in Orlando, FL, Aquatica combines marine life viewing with water park thrills. Lazy rivers and water slides actually glide under and through huge aquariums filled with fish, turtles and dolphins.
The park also boasts a number of water attractions suitable for families including two giant wave pools, high-speed water slides and playgrounds for the little ones. For added comfort and convenience, Aquatica offers the option to rent loungers and cabanas for all day use.
The cabanas in particular are a great value in comparison to other similar options at water parks in the area.
2. Disney’s Blizzard Beach
Although it’s one of the most expensive water parks in Florida, Disney’s Blizzard Beach will give you your money’s worth. One of the best water parks in the US, the whole park is designed to mimic an icy ski lodge with melting snow, complete with chairlift.
Families can ride together on many rides and even race each other head-first down the Toboggan Racers water slide. There’s a relaxing lazy river for mom and dad to enjoy along with a condensed version of the park for toddlers and children under 4 feet tall.
Aside from the water slides and related attractions, there are also plenty of sweet treats and frosty libations catered to both children and adults.
Whether you want to pick one of these places to visit in UK and thoroughly explore it, or add a few of these to your itinerary, you won't be disappointed.
3. Adventure Island
Palm tree-laden Adventure Island has pools, slides and designated areas just for kids. Whether you prefer the exhilaration of sliding in the dark or enjoy the scenery of an open flume slide, both single and multi-rider types abound here.
Their newest thrill slide, Colossal Curl, allows up to four people to ride and combines corkscrews, waterfalls and a free fall that mimics the feeling of weightlessness experienced on a roller coaster. If that’s not enough for you, the park even has a beach volleyball complex for friendly or competitive matches.
