Aquatica Orlando

No water park in the world mixes animal encounters with high-speed waterslides like Aquatica, SeaWorld’s entrant into the Orlando water park scene. Its new Reef Plunge slide is the coolest ride here, where you’ll speed through an underwater world inside a glass slide, careening past dolphins and other tropical sea creatures. That park’s lazy river also takes you past Flipper and his friends, giving you an up close dolphin encounter, minus the fish breath.

Aquatica also brings a pretty solid whitewater experience in Roa’s Rapids, a more-aggressive lazy river with no animals to observe. It’s also home to Ihu’s Breakaway Falls, the steepest multi-drop tower in Orlando where you and your friends can face each other and watch as each of you drops into a watery oblivion.
