Take a Deep Dive Into Kissimmee's Best Water Parks

Universal Volcano Bay

The perfect balance between over-the-top fun and serene surroundings, Universal Volcano Bay is where to find your Zen.
 
Take on a carefree attitude as you make your way through this Pacific Island-style water park, inspired by the adventurous spirit of the Waturi people. Here, thrills and relaxation flow in perfect harmony. Brave rugged terrain as you careen down volcanoes — and even in them — on the Krakatau Aqua Coaster. Become an honorary Waturi and join a centuries-old tradition of honoring the volcano god, Vol, with a 70-degree fall from the Ko'okiri Body Plunge.
 
Invoke your warrior spirit on a gladiator-style ropes course as you plunge down the waterfall drops of the Ohyah of the Ohyah & Ohno drop slides, or race your buddies down the Kala & Tai Nui enclosed body slides, modeled after sacred puka trees. Then soak your weary bones in the Kopiko Wai winding river or take in unforgettable views of the sparkling lagoon at Waturi Beach.
 
Whet your appetite: Relax in your own waterside cabana with comfy seating and concierge service, or get a taste of the South Pacific with over 60 menu items at the water park’s restaurant.

Aquatica, SeaWorld's Waterpark

Trade your flip-flops for flippers at Aquatica, SeaWorld's Waterpark that intermingles marine life with aquatic adventure. Experience a crazy mashup of 42 high-speed water slides, exhilarating wave pools, and 84,000 square feet of tranquil beach, river, and lagoons.
 
From mild to wild, Aquatica has attractions for all ages. At Dolphin Plunge, take a clear tube slide straight through a tank of dolphins before embarking on a freefall at Ihu's Breakaway Falls, Central Florida’s steepest and only multi-drop tower slide. Challenge the laws of physics on the gravity-defying Tassie’s Twisters and velocity-racked Whanau Way tower slides. Ride the tide at Cutback Cove and Big Surf Shore, two giant side-by-side wave pools. Or slow down to a turtle’s pace to catch a majestic view of loggerhead turtles down the Loggerhead Lane lazy river.
 
For the kids, Walkabout Waters presents a multi-story fortress of shallow pools, water cannons, and whimsical characters, while Kata's Kookaburra Cove offers a shallow play area with gentle slides designed for the littlest minnows in the group.
 
Whet your appetite: The Banana Beach Cookout has pulled pork, hot dogs, and other grill favs available all day.

Discovery Cove

Swim with the fishes — literally — at SeaWorld's Discovery Cove. This park offers guests a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to swim and interact with dolphins while also enjoying other exclusive experiences like walking on the bottom of the sea, feeding tropical birds, and swimming next to playful otters.

Dolphin Lagoon, Discovery Cove's signature attraction, offers a 30-minute swim with one of the park's bottlenose dolphins. The Freshwater Oasis offers face-to-face encounters with otters along a partially submerged tunnel that you can swim through. Explore a reef teaming with life during a SeaVenture excursion, which allows guests to walk along the bottom of the ocean while wearing dive helmets.
 
Whet your appetite: This all-inclusive park offers food and drink all day long. 

Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park

A blizzard in Central Florida? Only at Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park. This melted ski resort turned water park offers an experience you won’t find outside of Kissimmee.
 
Take a ski lift to the top of Mount Gushmore, the park’s epic peak, and zip down the slushy slopes on some of the world’s tallest and fastest freefall slides, like the 120-foot-tall Summit Plummet. Challenge your pals to a Toboggan Race. Spend family time together on a raft ride through Steamboat Springs. Relax on the white-sand beach after a rousing afternoon in the Melt Away Bay wave pool and tube zone.
 
Older kids and tweens can catch air along the tricky obstacles and intermediate slides at Ski Patrol Training Camp, while little ones can cool off at Tike’s Peak where the slides, rides, and water jets are scaled down to be kid-friendly.
 
Whet your appetite: Mini doughnuts, quick bites, and sweet slushy concoctions at Arctic Expeditions will keep you fueled and cooled on your day of adventure.

Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park

Set in the sea-washed remnants of a tropical resort, Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park offers an amazing water park experience for storm chasers of all ages.
 
Whether you’re looking for gale-force action or cool-breeze relaxation, this action-packed park is a tropical paradise full of twisting slides, sandy beaches, and the largest inland wave pool around. See water run uphill at Crush 'n' Gusher, a multi-passenger water coaster that propels you through a series of plunging hills. Rush along palms and rough boulders in a solo raft ride down Keelhaul Falls.
 
Need more thrills? Take a risk on Humunga Kowabunga’s five-story vertical drop or hang ten at the Typhoon Lagoon Surf Pool and wait for the Big Kahuna, with six-foot swells that rival those of Hawaii. Miss Adventure Falls is the perfect setting for family fun on the high seas as one of Florida’s longest water rides. Afterward, unwind while floating down Castaway Creek. Tots can experience their own storm-soaked adventure at Ketchakiddee Creek, which offers age-appropriate rides, slides, and pools.
 
Whet your appetite: Stop by the beach shacks and grab sandwiches and fan-favorite slushy desserts all day long.

Island H2O Water Park

From lazy rivers and private cabanas to extreme water slides and a cool wave pool, Island H2O Water Park has it all. Whether you’re visiting the water park with family or friends, there’s a hot spot waiting for you. 
 
Grab a raft if you dare and travel down Hashtag Heights for the maximum thrill level and then freefall down Live Streaming and Drop Down to show off your carefree personality. Race side by side on Reply Racers or relax in the quieter, adults-only Private Domain pool away from the children’s excited shrills. 
 
Whet your appetite: Megabytes and Tag Shack are full of snacks and even frozen cocktails. Grab a meal and chill before heading back out to explore the technology-driven enhancements of this water park.
