Water Park Fun and a more Peaceful South Beach Pool

The Cypress Springs Water Park and Gaylord Palms Resort Pool are something to behold. Families have a blast with all of the large water slides, and the kid’s splash park is fun to climb on no matter what your age. Sprinklers and fountains continuously spray in the treehouse playground giving your kids hours of fun. Keep an eye out for the large dumping bucket. You will surely get wet and have a good time doing it at the Gaylord Palms Orlando Water Park. Another enjoyable water park feature that the whole family will enjoy is the Crystal River Rapids lazy river. You will have so much fun as you are whisked away through a lush tropical paradise. If you are looking for some relaxation, away from all of the noise, the South Beach Pool is typically a quieter area since it is just a pool without the water park amenities. Hang out and just relax and read in the sunny Florida sunshine.
