This water park offers a spectacular array of opportunities to cool off with its 30 acres/12 hectares of waterslides, corkscrews, waterfalls and other water attractions. Riptide, Florida's first four-lane mat slide, allows four riders to race each other to the bottom.

Four waterfall curtains descend at strategic intervals to provide a thorough soaking. Daily 17 March-3 September, weekends only through October. Hours vary.
