For families who plan to spend the entire day in the sun, Aquatica Orlando’s miles of white sand “beaches” and 38 slides should prove sufficient. The park has many exciting water fun features such as rapids, water chutes, and half-pipes. Expect plenty of excitement with Omaka Rocka, Kata’s Kookaburra Cover, and Walkabout Waters. The Dolphin Plunge is the most popular ride, not only because of its famous clear water tube slide. The ride also takes thrill-seekers through Commerson’s dolphins. These intelligent marine creatures make Aquatica Orlando truly special.

Aquatica Orlando is located on the outskirts of Orlando, Florida. It is a sister park of SeaWorld Orlando and Discovery Cove. The park is themed to the southern Pacific, and features Australian and New Zealand based mascots including Roa (a kiwi), Kata (a kookaburra), Wai (a Commerson’s dolphin), Ihu (a gecko), Papa (a royal spoonbill), Wae Wae (a takahē), and Motu (a turtle). The park features a wide array of attractions for all ages and swimming abilities, some of which pass by or through animal habitats. The park has two wave pools which share an extensive, 80,000-square-foot (7,400 m2) man made white-sand beach area equipped with deck chairs, sun beds and umbrellas.
