Aquatica

Pretty damn fun place. If you’re planning on coming here AND SeaWorld then I suggest paying a little extra and buy the Discovery Cove package. For under $ 300 you get Discovery Cove, SeaWorld, Aquatica, and Bush Gardens (Tampa) pass good for 14 days. Pretty damn good deal!
Parking is $ 15 so don’t think it’s 5. Booth peeps must get plenty of people thinking it’s 5 cus they be getting all Ratchet when you read them signs wrong.
2 types of lazy rivers. One slow where you can just relax and one super fast where if you don’t pay attention you’ll slam into the wall. They even have a crane to lift you up and place you in the river. Either used for handicap or extra robust guests.
The Drop ride is probably one of the most intense rides I’ve ever done. It’s pretty bad. You stand on a trap door and it opens causing you to free fall. Try it.
2^nd best ride is the one where u race 7 others on a slimy magic carpet. So much fun. It’s slimy cus it helps you go faster. Thank God.
All in all place was great. Staff was friendly and answered questions with a smile (cept the Ratchet parking booth hood peeps. They don’t smile. They talk smack. Less interaction the better)

Clean park, fun for the family. It would be nice to have more family tube rides.
I think that about covers it, but Unilocal wants me to make this review a bit longer.

My experience on 5÷29÷2016 was worthy of no stars. Calling customer service is painful — lengthy wait times. The advertisements for veteran discounts and half price admissions is a scam. Rude attendants. Disorganized parking with attendants lazily making an attempt to do their jobs. Example, traffic control… there was none. Get there early — doesn’t matter, parked was closed at noon until 4p due to reaching their capacity so if you purchased 1day tixs, plan another trip. Half heartedly I’ll return just because they reluctantly gave us return passes redeemable in 90 days — all for the sake of the kids who were sadly disappointed with the experience. And, Molly (not real name) who was rude and confrontational– find another line of work. Sadly, I guess you get what you pay for. Thanks Emily for the quick resolution.

I absolutely loved this water park. It was so green and clean! Didn’t get a chance to check all the slides but I did enjoy the lazy river, dolphin plunge and the rapids. I truly enjoyed drinking a cold one while relaxing in the little beach area, which has plenty of lounge chairs and some areas with umbrellas for shade.

Had a great time … For my daughters born day celebration … But it started off bad … With a cashier at the part telling my kids to do something after I asked them to do something else … I felt like the cashier was taking over my house hold … I know it sounds crazy … But when u have young teens … Especially now a days … If you don’t keep order … It won’t be order … But the cashier I think was just young and didn’t understand … She laughed in my face when I asked her not give kids direction after I gave them direction. And really didn’t understand where I was coming from … Besides that … Everything else was great … The lines moved along … And the food was like mom made it.

On our mini-​cation, my boyfriend decided to Suprise my family & I, couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend such a hot day.
The water park is great, clean, and family friendly… they have slides and pools for the whole family to enjoy.
the best part there’s even a slide for four, the lines are pretty long but then again it depends the time of the season as well.
I highly recommend this park if you are coming with family, and want to have an attraction for all the enjoy it’s not to big of a park, but the attractions itself will be enough to take up a day of fun!!!

Got passes with Discovery Cove package. The waterpark is great. Roas Rappids was our favorite. We were able to try almost every ride in our visit and enjoy the giant kids area. Our son already wants to go back.

I love this water park. The water is clean and there are many things to do. We came during a cold day (for Fl weather at least) and it was so empty that we didnt have to wait in line at all. Then we git wet and became cold. The drying booth costs money so we just man up and hope for the water to dry out faster.
The staff here is not so friendly. My husband asked for direction and she just pointed at it without any real communication but oh well, maybe she’s cold.
I decided to come here instead of Adventure Island bc of their advertisement. They said dolphin might swim with you and you will float under a fish tank. It didnt happen. Dolphin no where to be seen. Fish thingy is so small. You close your eyes and you float through it.
However, I did have lots of fun time here and will come back for another cold day.

Everywhere is so clean and I agree that the staff are very polite! Lots of places to go for little kids! There are rental lockers for you to put your personal belongings. First time with family and we had a great time!

I have the annual pass since last summer. Obviously we love Aquatica. Everything is so clean and wonderful. Even when it’s full there’s barely any line to make.
The kids are is awesome. I love it.
Can’t wait to come back with the kids and friends.

I’m a Florida resident and have the ez — pay that comes out to 16 a month for a year to use 2 of their parks SeaWorld and this park Aquatica which is by far my favorite but that’s cuz it’s hot here in FL majority of the year so being in the water is that much more tolerable to me, always clean and everyone very helpful. As a yearly pass holder you get free parking and 10% off things inside like food, or merchandise great deal ! I’d recommend it plus discount to bring friends and family and at Discovery Cove !

Aquatica has great slides! The park is very clean and the staff are very polite. The lifeguards are very nice and some of them are super funny. Great place to bring the family
My favorite slide has to be T-​racer, so check it out. The beach has real sand and is a great spot to sit read or tan. They have two wave pools and two lazy rivers. Roa’s rapid has a very fast current. I like going in there and just let it take me around.
They also have four commerson dolphins which you can sometimes see when going down Dolphin Plunge. They are small and look like tiny killer whales. The have sometimes when you can go and see the trainer talk about them and some interaction.
The only negative thing I need to pint out is the food. They need more variety and better quality food. For the prices on the food they should be offering a better selection.

Fun place for water rides with family. The kiddies enjoy it to no end and as long as they are happy then I’m ecstatic.
We went on a Monday and unfortunately we didn’t get there till 130pm and it closes at 5 but it worked out great. No long lines and my girls were able to get on pretty much everything.
Staff is young and friendly and very eager to assist with directions, information and even a quick family pic using our phones. Overall this is a very family friendly park. Their wave pool was great and I would even say the waves re better than the wave pool back at Six Flags in NJ. Not to mention the seating area is about 4 times the size.
If you come to Florida and expect to hit Disney give your kids a treat with a stop here…

Toto, your not in DISNEY anymore. The slides are OK. Rapids and lazy river are dirty. Lots of debris in the water and on the banks and way too many life vests and tubes to go comfortably. The staff is rude. Food is disgusting and expensive. COOLERS ARE NOT ALLOWED. And there’s not enough shade to go around. It were to choose between Aquatica or either of Disney’s water parks again I would definitely go to Disney every time.

The water park attractions are great Their food in the restaurants is good, but the service at the restaurant Waterstone grill is the worst I have see in a long time. Super slow. I have posted a pick where only one person was working. Very sad.

This aquatic park is located right next to sea world, it has a lot of water activities for all ages, my kids really enjoyed it, and as adults my husband and I enjoyed too. The food/​drinks are way over priced, the showers were overcrowded. l but it’s holiday season in sunny Orlando!

Had another wonderful day at Sea World’s Aquatica in sunny Florida. We always enjoy this water park. Clean bathrooms, kid friendly, nice staff and they are always staff walking around getting the sand off the walkways so u don’t slip.
One recommendation would be that Sea World should bring their food choices from their main park across the street to the water park. The menu at the water park is sorta tired.
Overall still love this water park.

I Love Aquatica! I’ve been there dozens of times over the years and we have been annual pass holders since the beginning. I was finally able to ride on Ihu’s Breakaway Falls and it was awesome! As you stand inside the launch pad, it counts down and suddenly the floor gives way and down you go into the fast moving slide. You are guaranteed to get a wedgie on this ride so be prepared! Another favorite of mine are the Roa Rapids which is a fast moving river that pulls you along. It’s pretty much a lazy river but without the lazy and without the tubes. My suggestion is to wear the life vest even if you’re a good swimmer because it will keep you moving faster. This ride also has the warmest water due to the constant currents and that helps a lot when it’s not super hot out.
I am deducting a star due to the food options which are atrocious and that’s especially true for the Banana Beach Buffet. We decided to purchase the buffet and for $ 20.00 a person, it’s a complete ripoff. The selections are abysmal, all you get to choose from is stale ravioli, chicken drumsticks, flavorless pulled pork, corn, limited salad items and white hot dogs! For dessert, you get to choose from stale and generic cookies and fruit which only includes melon and pineapple. Unlimited soda products are the highlight of the meal and that’s just plain sad! I’m sure that with all the money being collected at the entrance, they can afford to provide better quality food. Besides this buffet, you will find the Mango Market which offers premade sandwiches and the Waterstone Grill which sells overpriced Hamburgers.
If you visit Aquatica on the weekends, be prepared to wait in long lines and encounter packed pools and lazy rivers. My suggestion is to go on the weekdays due to the small crowds and the relaxed environment. You will also be able to ride everything multiple times with minimal wait times.

Really had a lot of fun here!
It was our first time here (picked up the annual pass) and stayed the whole day!
We went a few minutes after opening and found plenty of close parking space. Loved the look, how clean everything was and the employees were all friendly.
I will note the only thing that bugged me about the employees, were some of the lifeguards, who I’m pretty sure are Red Cross certified. I saw a few of the younger ones looking away from the water, mouthing to each other, or generally fooling around. It was a little unnerving being a former Disney Lifeguard/​Trainer (Ellis Certified), that could just be since our training is a little stricter or maybe I just had the luck to spot them at a bad time, or see a new guard.
Regardless…watch your children folks, don’t depend on anyone to do that for you, Lifeguards are there to respond you should be there to prevent and monitor!
There are plenty of life jackets for kids and adults… use them if you need them and please don’t let your kids play around with them or use them like inflatable floats. They can go to people who actually need them. And if not used right they can actually pose more of a hazard. /​Lifeguard rant.
LOVED:
Ihu’s Breakaway Falls-​Some great buildup for this ride! While you wait you can hear a heartbeat sound effect as you watch people one by one scream their guts out once the platform is removed from under their feat. You’re suppose to cross your arms but some would actually uncross on instinct and grab for the door, bumping their elbows/​forearms on the way down. Ouch. Once you step in the pod, they close the door, give you a thumbs up and press the button once you signal that you are good to go, then the floor disappears from under your feet and you fall vertically for a few seconds. Not gonna lie had my eyes closed for a bit, mostly to prevent the water from jetting into my eyes lol. My favorite ride!
Their lazy river is a little short and I’m sad you couldn’t really take tubes with you as you’re basically just walking along on your feet or crouched down. There are little speed boosts that you can run into that make it feel like your playing Mario Kart Racing. But there is a neat little fish grotto that you can stop in front off as you slow down.
HooRoo Run-​Much bouncy. So wow. Much fun.
Tassies Twisters-​Was a lot of fun. Choose the blue and yellow side if not you’ll get stuck on the slide that everyone watches as they wait for the ride. If you don’t mind getting laughed at as you get stuck in the bowel part and have to wiggle your way to the entrance of the slide down… disregard.
MEH:
Dolphin Plunge-​This was heavily promoted on their marketing. Personally its a meh for me. You can’t really see the dolphins (Commerson’s dolphins) on the ride unless you sit up and slow yourself down which you’re not suppose to do. Regardless you can’t see them through the scratched «clear» acrylic tubing that you go through when the ride passes through the dolphin exhibit. Plus, the tube may have a major flaw as it scratches your back when you slide through from rivets that connect the individual tubes together. They’re not flush with each other so it causes the cuts in the tube to protrude into the tube a little. My hubs back was super red and scratched after the ride. Would definitely skip this ride. If you want to see the dolphins you can do so right across from the ride.
Overall, I really did enjoy Aquatica and if you have kids, you’ll probably be jealous that they get to run around Walkabout Waters.

Der Sea World Aquatica Wasserpark ist einfach nur toll. Der Park ist erst wenige Jahre alt und bietet eine Riesenauswahl an tollen Rutscheb riesiegen Wellen pools eine strudel und co. Für uns ist der Aquatica Wasserpark der beste in ganz Orlando.

This review is mainly about the private cabanas and not so much about the attractions.
My family and I won free tickets to Aquatica and came here on the last Saturday of September (9÷27÷14). According to their website, general admission runs around $ 51pp during peak season, but can go down to $ 8pp during off season (there’s $ 8, $ 19, and $ 24 days on this month’s/October’s calendar).
September was still very humid (averaging around 95% humidity during the weekend we were there) with off and on rain and tropical storms (hurricane season seems to run from June to November, FYI for you out-​of-​state folks like myself). With that in mind, we decided to reserve a cabana.
The cheapest cabana was the standard Cutback Cove cabana, which said started at $ 59, but went up to $ 99 when I reserved it for Saturday. After entering the park, I gave my confirmation number to the staff at the Information Center, who then lead us to our cabana. Our cabana came with 4 rental towels, a locker, a fridge with 12 bottled waters, and a ceiling fan (for 4 people, can add up to 3 more for a fee).
Although our cabana was a bit far from the restroom (if facing Cutback Cove, it’s located on the left, but the nearest restroom was next to Ihu’s Breakaway Falls), we were so glad that we got one because it sheltered us from the hot sun and the tropical storm that passed through. Also, it was right next to the pool, so hubby and I were able to watch the kids play in there from our cabana (not all cabanas are next to the pool though).
We could’ve ordered food from the cabana, but I decided to go to Mango Market while hubby and kids were out and about (cheaper option). Mango Market is located next to Kata’s Kookaburra Cove and sell grab-​and-​go food like hot dogs ($ 7.99), sandwiches ($ 8.49), and chips ($ 2.99). I think there were also chicken strips, fries, yogurt, fruits, drinks, etc. Obviously still expensive for what it is, but it’s a theme park so can’t expect otherwise.
Like I said earlier, a storm passed through some time mid afternoon, so everything closed temporarily. Everyone was advised to seek shelter at Waterstone Grill, including us people at the cabanas, but we stayed. We did get somewhat wet as was warned by the staff, but no biggie. Once the rain lightened up, everything reopened.
Despite the unpredictable weather, it was still warm and humid enough to enjoy the waters and less crowded so my kids were able to take full advantage of their time here (I’m not big on water parks so I only went in the Cutback Cove pool, which is why I can’t review the attractions). Besides, who can complain about free admission tickets?

Aquatica ist die Antwort von Bush Assheuer Themeparks auf Wet n Wild und die Waterparks von Disney. Er ist definitiv der modernste aber auch der teuerste. Ein Besuch sollte vorher gut geplant werden und ist am Besten mit einen Kombiticket möglich A) kommt möglichst früh:
Der Park neigt zur Überfüllung und die Wartezeiten sind dann recht lange
B) Umkleiden:
In Florida wird man zumeist Umkleiden vergeblich suchen. Zumeist zieht man sich in den Duschen um.
C) Schließfächer:
Diese sind sehr klein und mehr als notwendig. Also genau überlegen was man braucht. Fazit:
Aquatica ist eine sinnvolle Ergänzung an warmen Tagen aber kein Muss. Denkt an die Nebenkosten und nutzt Discouts Tipp:
Denkt daran wenn ihr ADAC Mitglied seid diese vor Reisebeginn gegen eine AAA Karte zu tauschen. Die bekommt ihr kostenfrei beim ADAC und bringt sehr viele Vorteile in Orlando und Umland. Solltet Ihr eine Schwerbehinderung mit aG haben könnt ihr für 15,00 US Dollar einen Permit für den Mietwagen beim Tax-​Collector Office erhalten.

Espectacular parque de agua, no hay nada mejor sobretodo en el verano, es un parque para disfrutarlo en familia y olvidarse del stress!, lo adoro, lo repetire este año!!!

Für die heißen Tage in Florida echt klasse. Aquatica ist ein typischer Wasserpark mit für die Anheusser-​Busch Locations typischen Tierthemen.
Die Comerson Delphine an der Rutsche, die ausgestellten Tiere an verschiedenen Stellen im Park, etc.
Neben dem eigentlichen Geschäft — der Mega-​Brauerei aus St. Louis — betreibt Anheusser-​Busch noch eine Reihe von Themenparks die mir eigentlich besser gefallen als die Disneygeschichten (ist aber einfach nur Geschmackssache).
Tipp für Europäer: hier gibt es eigentlich keine Umkleidekabinen und Amerika ist so prüde, dass «Umziehen am Strand» ein absolutes No-​Go ist. Handtücher sollte man mitbringen. Ebenso Sonnenschutzcreme oder noch besser ein Sonnenschutz-​T-​Shirt. Sonst aber nicht so viel, denn die «Lockers» (gegen Gebühr 5 $) sind klein und reichen nur für maximal einen kleinen Rucksack.
Online gibt’s Aquatica in der Kombination mit anderen Anheusser-​Busch Parks wie z.B. Seaworld übrigens wesentlich günstiger. Und man kann 14 Tage lang immer wieder mal hin!

Optimal für heiße Tage die es hier ja zu Hauf gibt … Man kann sich hier so richtig austoben und rutschen was das Zeug hält … Ein halber Tag reicht aber völlig um alles ausgiebig zu fahren und sich zu entspannen ! (natürlich wenn nicht viel los ist)

Zu Sea World gehört nicht nur der bekannte Park sondern, neben Discovery Cove, seit 2008 auch der Wasserpark Aquatica. Hier finden sich Wasserrutschen, Wasserrutschen und Wasserrutschen. Wer nicht tausendprozentig Wasserscheu ist, findet sicher eine Rutsche, die ihm Spass macht. Sei es die superschnelle Röhre, in die man sich kopfüber auf Rutschmatten stürzt, sei es die beschaulichere Rutsche mit vielen Kurven, die man in Schwimmringen herunterfährt. Sehr schön sind die steilen Rutschen, die man in einer Art Boot herunterbrettert. Davon gibt es zwei: eine schnelle und eine sehr schnelle ;-) Besonders bemerkenswert ist auch eine Wasserrutsche, die in einer Plexiglasröhre durch ein Becken mit Zwergdelfinen führt. Allerdings ist die fahrt so schnell, das man die Tiere praktisch nicht sieht. Das geht aber durch ein Unterwasserfenster.
Neben den Futschen gibt es auch noch zwei Flüsse, in denen man sich gemütlich treiben lassen kann: einmal mit einer Art Schwimmwesten und einmal auf Schwimmringen. Schließlich gibt es noch einen künstlichen Strand zum relaxen.
Leider muss man bei den meisten Rutschen relativ lange anstehen. Tipp: geht erst etwas später am Tag hin, dann ist es nich mehr so voll. Unverständlicher Weise kommen die Amis immer dann, wenn die Tropensonne am stärksten runter brennt und hauen ab, wenn es angenehmer wird.

Como eu visitei o Aquatica na epoca de Julho, exatamente no verão e quadno este tinha sido aberto há pouquissimo tempo, o parque se encontrava extremamente lotado. As filas longuissimas tornavam os brinquedos impossiveis de serem alcançados (a nao ser que voce quisesse ficar 1 hora/​2horas na fila).Porem pelos poucos brinquedos que eu fui, pude perceber que é um parque para a familia toda. A piscina de correnteza é muito boa, e muito forte tambem, se tornando muito melhor do que a piscina do Blizzard beach.
Existe um brinquedo na entrada do parque que parece ser bem infantil mas na verdade é muito divertido. Um labirinto, onde nele existe diversas armas d“agua que voce pode usar para molhar o outro que esta em baixo, ou em cima de voce, mas voce tem que tomar cuidado =p
O tão falado toboagua que passa debaixo da agua e que passa pelos golfinhos na verdade é um pouco normal demais. A parte submersa é extremamente pequena e como voce passa muito rapido fica muito dificil de ver os golfinhos (isso se vc der sorte deles estarem perto na hora) Os restaurantes são bonss, com um unico porem, o preço que para nós brasileiros se torna um pouco caro (Cerca de 15 dolares o prato).Infelizmente o fast-​food nao apresenta uma grande variedade e acaba se tornando uma segunda opçao. Existem varios armarios onde voce pode guardar seus pertences, a um preço caro mas que voce pode dividir com outros colegas e no final fica até baratinho =). Posso dizer que o aquatica é um otimo parque, infelizmente como era a novidade do momento eu nao pude ir em todos brinquedos, mas nos que eu fui, eu encontrei muita diversao!
