    This is a fantastic water park in the Orlando area. Its sea world's water park. The park has great slides and a nice lazy river. Even a faster river rapid lazy river kinda thing lol. The park restrooms were amazingly clean. The food was good and the all day dining plan it's a great deal. The wave pool is nice but low key waves nothing crazy like typhoon lagoons. But I do rate the park better than a Disney water parks. Better slides by far. And a much better value!! 9 out of 10. Highly recommend

    This was my first time at Aquatica. I came for a charity event that was raising money for the Special Olympics - the Polar Plunge. I didn't personally go in the water or ride the rides as I was only there for the event but it was really cool to see the water park. There are a lot of super cool water slides and water play areas. I think this is a great place for families. You can pay $300 for an annual pass and come back all year long. If you go more than 3 times it would be worth it. In Florida, it be fun to have an annual pass to a waterpark, especially in the hot summers. While we were there, I had a pretzel and it was actually really good. Sometimes theme park snacks are just overpriced and not very tasty. For lunch I had pork tacos which were just okay. Overall, I think it was a great event that Aquatica hosted and I would certainly go back in the future when I have kids.

    Water Slide, that will take you under the water and potentially see the dolphin, in its habitat!

    What an AWESOME DAY! This was my family and I, 2nd time coming here, and weren't disappointed, such a BLAST! We bought tickets on Groupon for $140 for all three of us to go. We spent $70 for up front parking, $45 for a locker, $35 for an all day eat pass, and $180 for fast passes....TOTALLY WORTH IT! Food was better than most amusement parks as far as quality is concerned, and we shared our meals, the all day pass is good for one, but there is enough to go around for a family of (3). Had an upside down cake that was warm and freshly made. The fast pass, really is the TRUE HACK for getting your money/time worth, you fly by all the lines and average wait time is like 10 mins max. We went on-pretty much every slide they had, before the park (Weather) closed at 5:30. We expected that leaving from Palm Harbor, and running from the storm, but it's that time of the year. The only thing I can say I did not like about our experience, someone vomited in one of the garbage cans, that we have to pass by multiple times to get to our locker. We showed up at 9:00am and by 5:30pm the garbage cans was still-not taken care of. All-In-All, I will definitely come back again. These bad reviews for this waterpark has no merit, in some cases. Not many pictures, but I have a few videos I taken from my smart glasses. Enjoy your visit!!

    It was my first time ever at Aquatica on Tuesday June 24, 2025. It was insanely busy and 4 (or 5?) attractions were closed!!!!! The wait for every slide was an hour!!! At one point they shut one down and people kept waiting. I got a fast past (which is $60!!) which I highly recommend however if I knew most attractions especially the best ones were closed I would not have done it maybe. I have a season pass at island h2o and it's price wise way better, the slides are better. What I did like was the very fast lazy River!! And the other lazy River has a fish and dolphin watch. That elevates the experience. Island H2O might have a few less attractions and is a smaller park but at least they are all open and I never had a long wait there before. I won't be back here, not worth it if you pay full for half the experience.

    I can't believe I had not visited this park after living in Florida most of my life. We came to Orlando for a few days and didn't really have anything booked or planned. This park happened to be 4 mins from our hotel so we decided to spend a day here. Ideal for families and for kids over 48 inches (so they can go on more slides). Although they have a huge area for smaller children. We had a blast in all slides, the 'beaches' areas, lazy river and the rapid river. My kids are 10 and 14 and we all enjoyed our visit here.

    I had a great time with family at the illuminate in the evening. It was nice weather and gorgeous lights. I enjoyed some eats while I was there. They were pretty ymy and glad I had the chance to try them. Some of my favorite items were the adult grilled cheese with tomato soup. The the flatbread pepperoni pizza. Both were delicious and fresh. I would recommend other families to go check it out for some awesome photos and spending time with each other. I loved the the staff helped us whenever we had questions and knew the location of many things on site. Thank you all!! The only thing that was tricky was the parking of course. Some staff was directing vehicles in one location and failed to stop the line and we ended up almost exiting the location after paying for parking. Lol glad I figured it out before on my own.

    I went on a Monday and there was no lines!! Definitely recommend a cabana which gives you air conditioning, shade, and a place to rest! There is amazing food places! All the water slides and attractions were so fun and fast!

    I have been here several times over the last few years. Most recently, I went today. Overall, the rides are pretty good. Wait times vary depending upon time of year, as expected. Roa's Rapids (the fast lazy river) is my favorite thing to do here. The food is fine. It's just your typical burgers, pizza, chicken fingers, etc. The cleanliness is below average I'd say. This is the kind of place you definitely want to wear your shoes into the bathroom. The bathrooms are nasty. I'm giving it a 3 because while it isn't amazing, the wait times are generally a bit lower, and it's just fine.

    Great time at Aquaglow! We were allowed to enter the park and sic and do most of the rides with low lines. I got the ticket with the meal and it was disappointing because there were nt much places open for food and most of them had long lines but the meal was filling. The best ride was the fast lazy river with no floaties:

    It was a beautiful day, the employees were friendly, and the ambiance was spot on! The had displays for the evening lights setup, that were cool to see during the day too.

    Aquatica should truly be a five star water park. My experience overall was solid. It's just difficult to rate it a five. The Staff here is just not well trained (if trained at all). Don't bother asking them a general question, it's a waste of time. The park does not allow outside food. Some staff workers were checking guest's bags for security reasons and to make sure no one was bringing outside food. This was not enforced though, we walked through with our bag pack as did other guests with no issue. We purchased our tickets via the app (which is great btw). We got there early, got our tickets scanned and skipped the long line, only issue was with the quick queue, for some reason they send you to the information booth to get your wristband. This took a while. Apparently there was only one computer working, so we had to stand in the heat for a wristband. We later found out there was another booth inside, not sure how many guests knew about this. We ended up grabbing our wristband there, we found out later that we received the wrong wristband and had to go back to replace it. Smdh! The Quick Queue is a wristband that allows guests to bypass the general line and get on the water slides faster. Prices vary. On this particular day being that it was the Fourth of July weekend we paid $100. My son had a blast, that quick queue came in handy for sure, but I felt that had more to do with the fact that we got there early when the crowd was under control. Again, the workers do a poor job at regulating and don't do much to accommodate guests with a quick queue wristband. There is zero authority at Aquatica, They have the audacity to charge $100 for this perk but once bought, it's fend for yourself. This was disappointing. My advice is get here early as the park gets busy close to noon. You might get away with bringing food and snacks as again I don't think they really care. Even though they warn you not to bring outside food at the entrance Pack light. Eat a good breakfast before getting here unless you're ok paying $15 for a hot dog. Bring a waterproof sling bag (under $20) at Walmart and skip the overprice locker if you can help it. They have seating areas in around the park, (a nice and shady one near Tassi's Twister) unless you're ok paying an arm and a leg for a cabana or lounger, I strongly suggest leaving a towel on the chairs you wish to claim. When that afternoon crowd shows up, you won't find a spot to seat, trust me. Overall, it was a fun time. I would consider coming back in the future, just wish the park was better organized and offered better training to the staff.

    Hi wondering can I bring in snacks for my 6 year old granddaughter?

    Officially no , but they are very easy to sneak in with a bit of hiding . Wrap it up in a towel then place in bag .

    I have a small child that could careless about having access to food all day. Could I just purchase one all day meal ticket and me and my daughter eat off of it?

    Yes. You will be able to eat every hour..so you can eat and then she could an hour later if she wasn't hungry at the time or she could grab a desert or side dish with you and eat

    How much is it to get in?

    Rates vary depending on season, special days, and whether you qualify for any military or other discounts. The best bet is to book online at least three (3) days in advance and to add the all day meal ticket. You will be very glad if you do. Www.… Read more

It was easy to enter using the My Disney Experience app, as it already had the tickets under my account, and it was also a quick bus ride from Disney Springs. Towels are complimentary, and lockers have a small fee. Changing rooms are located near the front of the park, and are reasonably ok considering how many people go through them. The floor is paved but pretty hot to walk on, so I still recommend wearing waterproof footwear. Waterproof phone holders are probably the #1 most useful item to bring here, other than sunscreen. There was a surprisingly large amount of people here on a Monday; pretty much all the chairs were taken around the wave pool, and there were scarce empty spots in the humongous body of water with equally gigantic waves. They're not waves for babies or beginners at all - they knock you down and drag you far, even where you think you're far enough, which is pretty rad. While a lot of people were crawling around the park, the wait times weren't too bad. The lazy river, Castaway Creek, was chill. There were people around us all the time, but enough space to still feel comfortable. I was amazed at how long the river went on for, and at how much varied scenery they detailed through the course. I also loved and hated the surprise waterfall you're forced to go under at the base of the mountain. I wasn't able to get through as many rides as I'd hope because of a brewing storm that eventually rained everyone out of the park. There are attractions for people of all thrill levels, though they seem more family-friendly than catered to daredevils. The rides are easy to get on, too - you just walk up, grab an available tube, and wait in line. There are also convenient refreshments littered at all ends of the roundabout park. The theming around the park is fantastic, including the iconic Miss Tilly atop Mount Mayday. Lagoona Gator both welcomes and waves you off at the entrance of the park.

The tram was a short and comfortable ride. Once we arrived at the entrance, we moved very quickly through security and entered the park. Our first stop was a locker station so we could secure our belongings. Locker pricing ranges, depending on the size that you need. For a family size locker, the largest size they offer. It was a flat fee of $25. You are provided a wristband which you then tap against the old tapu tapu stations in the locker area. From there it prompts you to insert a credit card. After purchase, anytime you tap your wristband against the tapu station your locker promptly opens. There are two versions of the "lazy" (or not so) river. One you can leisurely enjoy with or without a float of your choice. The other has a life vest requirement and various "Look Out!" signs that keep you aware of what is ahead of you along the river. Bumping against the walls tore a small hole in my water shoes. Since we went on a Tuesday, it was not crowded or difficult to find good seats near the volcano. It was a pretty cloudy day, which wasn't the best, but we made due. Wait times were low allowing for back to back rides on some of our faves. I had heard great things about the food here but we had plans to eat dinner at CityWalk before heading back with our students so the goal was just to get a snack, however, all of the snack carts in the park were closed down except the ones selling ice cream. I had seen pretzels online and was super bummed when I couldn't get my hands on one now that I was actually visiting the park. The coaster style ride was hands down my favorite. I'd consider bringing my son this summer when we have some guaranteed bet weather.

They have a buffet for breakfast and lunch with a good variety of options, so I feel like most people could find something they like. There are also smaller stands with snacks, pizza, and ICEE stations. Now let's talk about the drinks. There is just something about a frozen daiquiri when you're by the water. Highly recommend getting the drink package and trying a few... or all of them if you can handle it. I loved how many different areas there were to explore. Seeing dolphins swimming so close to the beach was actually kind of magical. They also have a monkey island which I was really excited about. It was closed when we got there, but I could still see them from a distance and I loved that. The aviary was really cool too. Tons of birds, but also tons of people. They recommend going first thing when the birds are most active, which we did, but so did everyone else. We got there about 45 minutes after opening and the birds already seemed a little over it. Honestly, I don't blame them. The Grand Reef was such a cool experience. I didn't really know what to expect, and even though it's man made, it still feels really immersive. Some of those rays are huge and have zero fear. They will swim right into you. My guy had never experienced anything like that and he loved it. I also liked that there were shallow areas and deeper sections if you wanted more of a snorkeling feel. The only downside for us was the Wind Away River. There are spots that get deep really fast, and that day they were apparently out of floaties because people were hoarding them and claiming areas. Staff even acknowledged it, which was frustrating because nothing was being done about it. It made parts of the river harder to enjoy than they should have been. Other than that, everything else was great and it made for such a fun day. Also the bar swings were a highlight. Loved those.

    Check in: Easy, no wait (we arrived around 2:30pm on a…read moreThursday), no issues- rooms were ready. Rooms: We had 8 people in our group. We had two suites. Each suite had a room with two double beds and private bathroom. Plus a room with a king bed and a master bathroom that included tub with jets, shower, private bathroom and walk in closet. Additionally, the suites had large living room and kitchen plus a closet with a washer and dryer. They also had a screened in balcony, large enough for 2-3 ppl to sit comfortably. Staff/service: The staff at both check in, and at the markets and restaurant were very kind and helpful. Water park and pools: Clean, staffed and fun. There's a lazy river, water slides and many pools. Overall experience was good with no complaints.

    This is my second time staying at the Grove resort in Orlando. We had stayed here previously three…read moreyears ago, which prompted us to book the resort again. A lot has changed the second time around. The pros: 1. Close to Orlando theme parks 2. Decent waterpark The cons: 1. Outdated and dirty property (garbage smell and dirty hallways, and elevators) 2. Dirty rooms and broken furniture 3. Poorly equipped rooms- we only had 2 towels and 2 facecloths for a family of 4 that were in the master bath. Second bathroom did not have towels or facecloths (we had to call the front desk for items) 4. The Kitchen was not fully stocked (no pans for oven, no sharp knives for cutting food, and no cutting board) 5. No housekeeping (we were there for 7 nights and not once did they show up). Did not have broom in the room or cleaning supplies. I had to empty all garbages in room the full stay and place bag in hallway. Garbage was only picked up once a day in hallway. There were always garbage bags in the hallway. 6. You are provided with a "starter kit" of supplies (one sponge for dish washing, one small liquid dishwashing soap, one dishwasher pack, one Tide for washing machine. One paper towel, one pack of toilet paper for each bathroom and 1 box of Kleenex for each bathroom). Once supply is depleted, you are responsible for purchasing additional items. 7. The pool area is overcrowded. If you do not get in line at 9:30 AM (pool area opens at 10 AM) you will not get a seat. I found people go to the pool area early (9:30 AM) drop off their stuff for the day and leave area. That means if you don't get there early to scoff up a spot yourself you are left standing. However, you have the option on spending extra money to 2 rent chairs $$ ($69) or a Cabana $$$ ($250) for the day. I had mentioned this to management and they said there is no way of monitoring this. That if I wanted a guarantee area that I would need to reserve/rent chairs or a cabana. 8. Expensive resort fees, daily. They charge resort fees on the day of arrival and departure. 9. Issue encountered with a booked transportation reservation (through resorts concierge) back to resort (from Epcot). Was left in an extremely dangerous situation by the resorts contracted bus driver. Me and my two kids were left stranded at Epcot. He "did not have the time" to take me and my kids back to the Grove (again, this transportation was pre-booked). He asked us to get off the bus at Epcot. He had to go to another resort (me and my two children were the only guests returning to the Grove). Bus driver said he ordered and paid for an Uber for me and my kids to go back to the Grove (all lies, as he did not order us alternate transportation). Tried calling the resort at 10 PM phone rang, selected front desk and was on hold for over 15 minutes. Was not able to get in touch with front desk at resort (no answer), Finally hung up due to frustration. I had to pay out of pocket for an Uber back to the resort.
