    Cute little water park. I thoroughly enjoyed myself! Has 2 wave pools but the day I went only one was working. Most of the slides were good it was the cutting in line that was disturbing. Kids & Parents using the fast lane when they didn't have the pass. There is no employee at the rides checking so I don't see the point. I also think if the chairs were set up better there would be so many disgruntle adults fighting over space. Some of them adults just seem mad their there so be aware. I really enjoyed that we could bring in our own food that's a great touch for a park. Overall I enjoyed by time there I would go again.

    We went for the aqua glow night. It was ok, but there are some things they could improve upon. For a glow night, they had a lot of their black lights off which defeated the glow aspect. They also had a major ride not working and food was expensive. For the price, it was fun to experience the water park at night and the lines were shorter than during the day which is a plus. It was a decent time but could be great with a few changes

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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!

    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.…

The wave pool was hands down the coolest feature. Watching those giant waves roll in was so much fun and unlike any other wave pool I've experienced. I could have spent hours just hanging out there. The lazy river was nice and relaxing, but be prepared to exercise a little patience if you're hoping to grab a tube since they can be in high demand throughout the day. Pro tip: get there right at opening if you want to snag a lounge chair. They go quickly, especially on busy days. Another perk? Disney provides as many towels as you need, which was a nice touch and one less thing to worry about packing. Overall, Typhoon Lagoon is a great way to cool off, relax, and have some Disney fun.

Staff had great energy throughout the night, and there is a good mixture of thrill / relaxing rides for all ages. Personally, you can always find me at a lazy river. I loved how they have your classical slow moving river vs fast moving river for people who want a lil thrill (my fave). The park follows a tropical theming which was enjoyable to experience, and has thoughtful details that make your experience more fun / immersive. Throughout the park, there are buttons that trigger cannons to squirt water at people. Similarly, buttons placed in the pools also trigger a bubbling effect-- even as an adult I found myself enjoying these little details. Throughout the night, there were also special character meet and greets for photo opps (Trolls, Shrek, HTTYD) + unlimited snacks (churro /popcorn) + freestyle cup were just a nice bonus Volcano Bay is definately worth a visit for anyone who loves water parks. I would definately recommend visiting if an after hours event is offered

Gift cards can only be used on site and can not be redeemed online. (I was also able to pay for parking at Universal with one of the gift cards.) Lockers are, of course, available for rent. It was 7 of us so we got a family locker. That didn't work. We had to rent another family locker to hold all our stuff. The family lockers are not big enough if you have multiple bags. Some of the staff are cool. We encountered one team member who greeted almost everyone in the Kopiko Wai Winding River (lazy river). Every time we winded back around to where he sat overlooking and safeguarding the river he spoke. His attitude was hospitable and refreshing.

There was shrimp and grits, seafood paella Chicken paella, chicken asada, grilled churrasco steak with chimichurri, maduros, yucca fries. There was a prepared salad and water already placed at your assigned table. I did not eat the salad and as surprised that salad was even being served with the current health issue related to various fresh produce. I saw a lot of people not even touching their salads. Beverages were included like soft drinks, tea, lemonade, etc. Dessert included 3 options pineapple upside down cake, tres leche, and jumbo chocolate cupcake. I had the chocolate cupcakes it wasn't that sweet and was just ok. I really enjoyed my meal it was warm and tasty. All parties were sat with their perspective guests so it was nice to have your own table for just you and whoever you came with. Each table had a waiter/waitress that refilled our beverages, brought napkins and straws, cleared our plates, and cleaned our table. The show was nice and took place at sunset. The finale was the best part! The show was broken up into 3 segments kind of like beginning, middle, and end. It was an open and semi covered pavilion with 3 stages. The performances rotated among the 3 stages but were predominantly performing around the center stage. The show was based on the principles of earth, air, water, & fire. There was a drummer, dancers, and aerial performers. The finale was awesome there was an actual fire dancer. He juggled, twirled, tossed rolled over and jumped over fire sticks it was great!

Very close to the Disney parks and plenty of room for families. You can even do groceries and cook and if you want to. This is my go to resort when in the area. I highly recommend it.

    This was probably the best part about our day at Legoland. There are so many different options,…read morecovering all different age groups. We started at the lazy river, then went to the giant play structure, then to the wave pool. Somewhere in the middle of it, my wife -- being more adventurous than I -- took our oldest on the super tall water slide. Not my thing, but if it's yours, have at it. Why am I withholding a fifth star? First, the cost for lockers is ludicrous; $16 for the smallest unit, IIRC. Second, a number of the water slides on the play structure were shut down, likely due to insufficient staff. Kind of frustrating for my middle child, who isn't big enough for the giant slides, to see so many of the smaller ones closed. But, he still had a great time. Overall, I recommend the water park, especially if you can find a BOGO deal.

    My son is a huge Legoland fan (and so am I) and we've been here a few times. We haven't made it to…read morethe waterpark until recently as it is often closed. It was fun to try it and it's definitely a nice change from the park on a hot day. My son loved some of the crazy slides. There is a lazy river and lots of Lego water stations the kids can play with. That being said, there are a few downsides: the location is not ideal. It's all the way at the end of the park so you have to walk through Legoland and back when you go. What makes this even more tedious is that there are no towels provided so you have to get all that stuff yourself through the park. The chairs were a bit run down. Only one food booth with limited options and they weren't accommodating at all when I accidentally ordered the wrong fountain drink. I doubt I will come back. The hotel pool is more fun.

    I had a bad experience regarding a laptop that my daughter left in our room. When we returned and…read moreasked at the Front Desk, they contacted the Housekeeping department and told us that nothing had been found and that no items had been left in the room. After insisting and requesting to speak with both the Housekeeping Manager and the Front Desk Manager, the laptop suddenly appeared. It was an uncomfortable situation because it creates a very negative impression and raises concerns about how lost items are handled. Other than that incident, we had a very good experience. The kids absolutely loved the water park, and it was a lot of fun for the whole family. I would also like to recognize the Front Desk team for their excellent customer service, professionalism, and kindness. They deserve a 10 out of 10. And I cannot fail to mention Sandra, the Colombian employee at the restaurant. She was amazing--friendly, charismatic, and provided outstanding customer service. She truly deserves recognition for her excellent work. A perfect 10 out of 10 for Sandra! Overall, we had a good stay, although I believe the hotel's lost-and-found procedures need improvement.

    Short version Our check-in experience was terrible. Despite…read moreconfirming our late arrival, our reservation was cancelled, and we had to rebook after waiting in line. The room smelled awful, the window didn't open, and even after switching rooms the smell remained. The hotel is old, uncomfortable, and poorly maintained. Overall, a very disappointing stay. Our check-in experience at this hotel was a complete fiasco. We arrived in the evening only to discover that our reservation had been cancelled because we were two hours late. This happened despite the fact that we had called and sent messages in advance to confirm our arrival and specifically asked them not to cancel the booking. Nevertheless, the reservation was cancelled, and we were forced to make a new one after already waiting in line. At the front desk, the staff insisted it was our fault for not notifying them, even though we had clearly done so. Unfortunately, the real disappointment began when we entered the room. The smell was extremely unpleasant, and since the window did not open, it was impossible to ventilate the space. We requested a different room, and while the second room was slightly better, it still had an unpleasant odor. The pool area was also difficult to tolerate due to a very strong chlorine smell. Overall, the hotel feels very outdated and poorly maintained, making it hard to relax. Even the bar was closed throughout our stay. Overall, a very disappointing experience

Valencia restaurant ok hrs 11am-10pm. A family pool section has 3 pulls & a large jacuzzi 8am-10pm. deeper water 6.3ft area if needed. Heated. Then theres a play area for kids and right next to it is surfing 11am-8pm then lazy river right next to it too. u have to make a reservation for surfing & u get put in a group & take turns. Theres a gym. There a "market" like 7eleven only had smart water. Theres seats & lounges. Its a decent spot. Pay for wut u get. I reccomend. BRING pool toys! There was no wristband thing. Cameras everywhere so safe. I think the staff could be more helpful welcoming charming. The things to do could be more organized as some things are a bit confusing & misleading. The map of the place & getting around isnt too bad , could use more signs though. Ive been to resorts that are just a lot more easy to understand. & yes this includes the website. I didnt see any gold or paddle boat. As i said it was tricky getting help some from someone as the employee around dont know anything and the front desks are just busy. Other resorts have people waiting and standing around looking to help you and sell you stuff, looking to help you have the best time, they play with you and everything. The hello ivy text message scan QR code didnt work as well.

    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.
