Aquatica SeaWorld Water Park in Orlando

Aquatica SeaWorld Water Park in Orlando

You might be familiar with SeaWorld in Orlando but did you know they also have a huge Water Park? Aquatica SeaWorld Water Park in Orlando is just across the street from the SeaWorld Theme Park. Aquatica offers a spectacular day of fun in the sun and water. Although the Aquatica Water Park is not Themed as extravagantly as the Disney Typhoon Lagoon or Disney Blizzard Beach, it is a very pretty park.

Aquatica is designed to be a Tropical Oasis. Water park attractions are unique to this SeaWorld park. SeaWorld does everything very different from Disney and Universal. Expect this from their water park as well. All of the Water Parks in Orlando are nice, but if you are looking for something a little out of the ordinary, you might want to consider Water Park Aquatica

Dolphin Plunge – Very special water slide

You will see the amazing difference of the Aquatica SeaWorld Water Park in Orlando within minutes of walking through the turnstiles. Just past the entry gates you will look up and see one of the attractions that have made this Water Park stand out from all of the others, Dolphin’s Plunge. You will have to continue forward to see the full ride, but what a great first site you have upon entering. Dolphin’s plunge is made up of 2 enclosed blue and green tubes that turn into clear tubes. Once they turn clear, you can see the riders zip through a huge water tank that stores the Commerson Dolphins.

You will have to take a second look because you have never seen any Dolphins like this before. Commerson Dolphins are black and white with coloring very similar to a small Killer Whale, but they are most definitely Dolphins. For most people, at least the adults and anyone who loves these magnificent creatures, this is worth the price of admission to the entire park.

Incredible Water Slides at Aquatica SeaWorld Water Park Orlando

You will also see some very different water rides that you won’t see at any of the other water parks. Take for instance the 2 enclosed tubes that drop each rider into a swirling bowl where you float around in circles until it dumps you out into the small splash pool below. What about the water ride that sends you on a half-pipe adventure where you feel weightless as your tube climbs the sides. So exciting, isn’t it?

More tame water slides

If these rides seem a little too wild, there are also some more traditional Water Slides in the Aquatica Park.

Family Water Slides

Some of the most fun rides include space for the whole family like the 2 large raft rides that accommodate up to 4 people at a time. Large raft rides are great to have a full family adventure all at once. For full details on all of the more extreme rides in the park, take a look at the more detailed Aquatica Water Slides information.

Lazy River – Floating Fun

There is something at the Aquatica Water Park for everyone, even for those not interested in dropping down tubes and splashing into pools of water. At SeaWorld’s Aquatica in Orlando you will also find a really nice Lazy River called Loggerhead Lane. Loggerhead Lane is your more typical lazy river but it does offer a different perspective on our Commerson’s Dolphins as you float by. Loggerhead Lane lazy river also floats by a large Aquarium with many different Tropical fish built into one of the walls you go by.

A much faster lazy river, the Rapid River ride has a much stronger current carrying you around. All of the details can be found at the Aquatica Lazy Rivers.

Who doesn’t like a Wave Pool?

Wave Pools are fun. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like spending time at the Wave Pool. Did you know that Aquatica SeaWorld Water Park in Orlando has the only Wave Pool in North America that has Side-by Side Wave Pools? You might wonder why this would make a difference. The main reason is that both of these pools can manage the wave intensity and frequency separately from one another. One side of the pool is set to consistently create larger and more frequent waves while the other is set to create many different size waves and alternates its timing as well. Take a look at all of the additional information we have on this unbelievable experience at the Aquatica Wave Pool.

• Plan Ahead

The Beach Chair Rentals and Cabanas might seem a little far fetched and an expense that you don’t feel you need but think of the convenience that comes along with this small price. Take all of the amenities in to account before you decide against this little luxury as an option. There are only a limited number of premium seating options so if you are interested, make sure you reserve these in advance to coming to the park. If you wait and try to get one when you enter, you might find that there are not any available. Bring plenty of Sunscreen to protect your skin throughout the day. Being around water intensifies the rays and you will want to make sure you are well protected from any harmful rays as you play with your family around the park.

• Smoking

Smoking is not allowed inside the Aquatica SeaWorld park except in designated areas.
