Having moved to the hot sunshine state after years of living in the cooler northern states all my life, I can appreciate the refreshing atmosphere of a water park. The water, slides, rides, and splashing good times can all be found at SeaWorld Orlando’s Aquatica and with a whole lot more! We recently experienced Aquatica as part of the #AquaticaOrlandoSplashUp media event as a family and can attest that there is something for everyone.
From high-speed water slides and exhilarating wave pools, to tranquil beaches and the remarkable animal habitats that are the hallmark of SeaWorld, Aquatica delights all ages and interests. This one-of-a-kind waterpark is home to some of the world’s most thrilling water rides, featuring 38 slides, rivers and lagoons and more than 80,000 square feet of sparkling white, sandy beaches. Aquatica’s exclusive attractions promise unlimited fun, sending guests on amazing undersea adventures and through breathtaking animal exhibits.
Some of the Highlights for Us…
Having preschool twin boys means everything needs to be done twice including fun. At Aquatica, Kata’s Kookaburra Cove, is specifically for guests no taller than 48″ with beginner’s body slide, water spouts and spilly rides, little ones will feel like they are in control of their fun playtime. The twins loved being able to go on the slides and sitting on rafts on their own and its an ideal location for babies to safely play.
Walkabout Waters is a full 15,000 square feet and 60-foot-tall colorful interactive water playground for kids (and adults) to zip down slides and blast water cannons complete with HUGE buckets filling up with massive amounts of water and tipping over on everyone below. This area provided lots of fun for the twins and even my teen who happily climbed stairs, walked bridges and slide down slides. Great area for multi-age siblings and families.
Must Try…
Dolphin Plunge – As you can expect from SeaWorld, this fun and beautiful ride is two side-by-side enclosed tube slides which send you racing through an underwater world that is home to black-and-white Commerson’s Dolphins.
Omaka Rocka – Omaka Rocka is a waterslide of half-pipe and near-vertical thrills. Riders speed down flumes into massive funnels, sliding high up one side and then the other, rocking back and forth, feeling a sensation of near weightlessness. Coming out of the funnel, they’ll skim into a drenching splashdown.
Cutback Cove & Big Surf Shores – Two giant, side-by-side wave pools for one’s preference. At Cutback Cove, the waves are always rolling, and the action’s always high. At Big Surf Shores, the surf can be high or slow and easy.
Animals – In addition to the black-and-white Commerson’s Dolphins, there are many wonderful animals to see (and meet) at Aquatica from exotic fishes to macaws.
Swimming Lessons – A new spin on learning how to swin, Aquatica offers classes taught by American Red Cross certified water safety instructors who can teach several skill levels from preschool aquatics to parent and child aquatics.
From private cabanas to sit and relax to all-day dining at affordable prices, Aquatica Orlando truly is a destination experience for the entire family to enjoy together!

I’d love to win because we’ve never been to Aquatica, it looks AMAZING, and my husband has been working nearly 70 hours a week for months now. We could use the vacation!
Thanks for the giveaway. 🙂 My kids would simply die if we won!

I would love to win these tickets because my significant other and I both work as contractors and travel a LOT and when we’re home with our 4yr old, we love to do things that create memories. What better memories than sliding beside dolphins and experience one of FL’s best parks?!!? 😀
