    jellies on the pathway

    i was really excited to visit here with my son but it was sort of an experience due to a number of reasons. it took us two hours to get in like right at the exit 1 - all due to traffic lights and flow of traffic in not being seamless. i'm not sure where blame is due there but that's a bad vibe to start the whole park entrance. i know crowd control doesn't fall on the park per se - but orlando as a city should look into this! people were like getting out of their cars on the highway confused. inside was PACKED. and my friends couldn't make it in because of full parking capacity with no allocation of other options. the lockers were starting at $41, parking also starts at $41 and it goes up for better quality. we got the bbq cheeseburger but the fries were honestly my fave part of the day. really good fries. also - mobile order is key - we got our food fast that way but fellow people had waited 2 hours ... the lazy river was not clear, but alas we swam. the park as a whole looked nice and big, i did enjoy the variety of offerings and my son is not quite that age yet but he had slides and places to play so i did appreciate that. i am hesitant to visit again on a weekend but maybe it could be a better experience on a week day or better time.

    I must say this Water park did not disappoint me and my family had a fabulous time. The only pitfall was the bathrooms. They smelled terrible and one of the water slides that I was looking forward to was not up and running that day. That was a waterslide when you get on a Mat and you go down and race other than that had a great time will definitely revisit, but I hope they get the bathroom smelling a little better because they smelled like a Gas station bathroom. Oh I forgot and last I noticed when we were in line getting on the waterside, you know you're up high so you get to look down and I noticed that they had pallets of water sitting outside. I thought that water should not sit outside in hot weather.

    My first time in Aquatica Orlando and I couldn't recommend it more ! I love spending the day in the water park with so many water rides ! Walking around the park there's so many cute shops , even though we got the food all the pass , the options were very limited and repetitive, wished the gave more options. The staff was friendly and the park was clean .

    I came for aqua glow and most of the vendors were closed. There was no mobile ordering available in any cabana which greatly diminishes the cabana value in my opinion. When we did trek out to the bar Desirea fully understood the assignment! She was fast, friendly, and had a STONG pour. Overall I would do it again. Had a great time catching up with an old friend.

    Visited recently and had a great time! I suggest arriving 30 min before park opens so you are 1st in line to enter. We found a shady spot super easy by kid area. We rode 3 rides before the park got busy! The ground was super hot so I also suggest water shoes or wearing your shoes around the park.

    Aquatica Orlando is always a fun time. They have so many water sllides to keep you busy and smiling. It is family friendly and has everything for everyone. They even have a kids section for water play but also two wave pools for everyone to enjoy. Lets not forget the Lazy River that everyone loves and enjoys They have a variety of cabanas you can rent and lounge around in, particularly the Family & Premium Cabins right in between the two wave pools which is where I stayed at and was absolutely secure, safe, and convenient. They are also even guarded and watched over by Aquatica Orlando Personnel. They have an attendant to take care of you, a locked safe with a key, and a QR code in your Cabana and they will deliver all drinks and food over to you. They even have 10 water bottles within a cold refrigerator and towel service with loungers.

    As part of my Girl Scout end of the year trip, he wanted to participate in aqua glow. We purchased our tickets with the help of staff due to our tax exempt status. Everything was very smooth and easy to coordinate. A very cool thing about aqua glow is that while it is for the nighttime event, you can come in as early as 4 PM. Our group got there at six as we had a cabana rental that would be available at seven. We were able to find chairs while the kids started getting on the slides while we waited for the cabana. The seven person cabana rental was $249 but honestly, it was worth it. It was great having a central location for the kids to meet up. They supplied waters and a little fridge. It also has a locker with a key so you can put your valuables away and go through the park with the peace of mind of knowing that your stuff was safe. I love a waterpark and I had a great time at aquatica. The rapids lazy river was probably my favorite. The kids went on all of the slides. I was a little disappointed when I went into the wave pool after it reopened at 8 PM. We went through four different countdowns and no waves. We had bought the pre-dinner meal ticket. I was not a fan of the food and there weren't many people who enjoyed it. I had chicken tenders and fries, but it wasn't great. But it was a really cool event. I love how they lit up the park in aqua colors. Definitely a great experience and I would come back. Maybe I would try to see if I can go to the fancier restaurant and not buy the pre-meal.

    I was a typhoon lagoon addict for years until... Aquatica! We recently moved back to Orlando and love it more than ever! Smaller, handled people flow better, cleaner, even the expensive food (get em while and cause you can) mango hut chicken and fries were great. We became platinum members and now it's ours anytime we want! The only suggestion is there are a couple of bored sleepy lifeguards that need to go home already. How can you work not knowing you can't be sleeping on the job? I should be a quality control hidden shopper here! See ya soon! At 63 my wife and I loved the Roa's rapids not so lazy walking river! It will keep you on your toes that's for sure! What I love most about waterparks is you never see the natural human emotion of anger while in the water! I think cool water cools our spirit' I've never seen people arguing inside the water at a waterpark, just smiles and laughs! We only stayed for three hours remained sunburn free and we have an entire year to know it inside and out! Best entertainment investment ever!

    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.

    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

Typhoon Lagoon is shipwrecked tropical island themed with the biggest wave pool in the country. The waves reach 6 feet high and are intense enough to slide a bikini down (so I've heard). There are slides for 2+ so you can adventure together. Lazy River is pretty spacious and has floaty chairs -game changer. Not sure how I can go back to a standard tube after that. Loungers, chairs and picnic tables were available first come first serve. The reserved areas were booked up but we found the perfect location for all five of us. Sun and shade with the nearest bartender just a few steps away. The Mai Thai and Rum Runner were absolutely delish. Was happy to see hard cider available. Disney's magic is keeping the park clean and beautifully landscaped all day long. The water was always that perfect cool and refreshing temp, and crystal clear. Cast members always remind me why Disney is the best.

It is a water park and the music that is to be played in an atmosphere of water, sun and palm trees is Hawaiian/Pacific Island music, Caribbean or vintage classic beach rock music like the Beach Boys and Jimmy Buffet. Sorry, but if I want to hear such rubbish like hip and modern pop, I would go to a gentlemen's club or the urban ghetto. Also got to think about the interest of other's groups' taste in music, not just one group with strictly one type of music. That music does not fit in at all with this environment. Other waterparks like Volcano Bay have tropical Pacific Island music in their Hawaiian kind of atmosphere.

Regular thunderstorm wait was 30 mins, however we kept hearing it about every 30 mins, so we decided to just leave. Locked ranges form $15, $25 or $30, totally convenient. Food stalls seemed yummy, people were purchasing food. We would if we did not bumped into a lightning/thunderstorm warning. Will try to come again the next time we visit Florida! Parking was $25 per vehicle or you can have somebody drop you off, or take a shuttle if your hotel provides one: Margaritaville and Embassy Suite both provide one. Front desk will call for you, however you won't know the wait time till then.

From the moment we arrived to when we left, everything was really well done. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which set the tone right away. 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.
