Aquatica features some of the most thrilling water rides in the world with 36 water slides, six rivers and lagoons, and more than 80,000 square feet of beach area. Designed in a way that could only be done by SeaWorld, these unique attractions will zoom, float and splash guests through amazing animal habitats and undersea adventures.

In addition to all the water park adventures that it offers, Aquatica also blends up-close animal experiences, lush landscape with vivid color and stunning flora to create a carefree personality of the South Sea Islands. The tropical setting is reminiscent of New Zealand's rugged beauty with crystal blue rivers and hidden grottos. More: Photo Tour of Orlando's Top Water Parks.

  • COMMERSON’S DOLPHINS SLIDES
    The park’s signature attraction plunges riders down 300 feet of clear tubes through a crystal-blue lagoon with black-and- white Commerson’s dolphins.

  • TWO WAVE POOLS
    The world’s only side-by-side wave lagoons that can be operated together or independently encompass 860,000 gallons of water lined by wide, sandy beaches. The high-energy lagoon features crashing waves with 5-foot swells, while the other lagoon provides a gently rolling surf.

  • ADVENTURE RIVER
    An adventure river zips guests through 1,500 feet of rapids, past geysers and waterfalls at a speed of three to four times faster than a typical water park river.

  • LAZY RIVER
    For a gentler pace, the lazy river carries guests into a 10,000-gallon grotto filled with thousands of colorful fish and through a spectacular underwater view of the Commerson’s dolphin habitat.

  • EIGHT-LANE RACER
    Adventurous guests can compete on an 8-lane racing ride that sends riders speeding down a 300-foot slide, in and out of tunnels, and around a 360-degree turn before they finally soar across the finish line.

  • TRIPLE-DROP RIDE
    Rafters experience triple the thrill and a sense of weightlessness as they raft down a 6-story, 250-foot long, triple-drop ride.

  • FAMILY RAFT RIDE
    The entire family can ride together down six stories and 600 feet of curves and tunnels.

  • BOWL RIDE
    Heads spin as these twin bowls twirl rafters around … and around … and around … before splashing them through a tunnel and into the pool below.

  • DOUBLE RAFT RIDE
    Guests can team up on double inner tubes and take a journey down four 5-story slides filled with drops, curves, tunnels and water curtains.

  • FAMILY PLAY AREA
    One of the world’s largest interactive water play areas, this towering, 60-foot colorful rain fortress offers kids a 15,000-square-foot play area to zoom on family slides and blast water cannons.

  • CHILDREN’S AREA
    In a separate 79,000-gallon children’s pool, even those not old enough to walk can still slide down tubes with Mom and Dad in specially built rafts.
