It was unfortunate that the arcade and all the slides were closed in the early evening (when you can finally go outside to avoid the Orlando summer sun baking you alive) and everything aside from one bar was closed. We managed to get a few drinks for the kids and us. Folks were *generally* (see below) well behaved and we brought our pool noodles into the river to avoid the steep floaty fee. We were not expecting as many drunk adults trying to skirt the floaty rental requirement or entitled kids climbing all over the rocks that clearly said "do not climb" but that's how it is sometimes.

We have been here before and enjoyed the place we stayed in the Holiday Inn Orange Lake Resort so we tried the waterpark location this time. The building was under some renovation so I'm sure it will be looking great soon. The room was spacious and nice for the 4 of us and the access to the pool area was great. Nice fitness center and bars and restaurants easily walkable. Overall a good experience despite the inconvenience of the renovation going on

We spent about an hour at Divers Direct Orlando, and it was time very well spent. Walter (Walt) was…read moreincredible helping my mom find a properly fitting mask. She has a very petite face and has struggled for years to find one that actually works. Walt was so patient and walked her through everything step by step. He also helped her find basic swim gear, including a shorty wetsuit that fit correctly without leaking. While he was working with her, I explored the massive store and picked up fins, booties, and a full-length wetsuit. I love that they have so much inventory. You can really take your time trying different options and finding what fits best. I was able to compare fins with different bootie lengths and try on wetsuits that were actually sized correctly. Huge shoutout as well to the general manager Rachael and assistant manager Loren for their patience during checkout. My mom was able to drive her gear home, but I was flying back to Virginia the next day and stressing about packing everything. They reminded me about the free shipping over a certain amount, which was an epic stress reliever. Overall, I absolutely love this store. I wish we had something like it where I live. I'll definitely be following their social pages to keep an eye on future trips and events. Such a great group of people.

I was only looking for some snorkeling fins, and it was very easy to navigate the store and find…read morethe area where they had a variety of fins in different colors and price ranges from $40-110 adult fins and slightly less for kids fins. Ladies, the fins are sized for men unfortunately, so pick the size that is about 1.5 sizes lower than what you usually wear, based on advice I got from a staff member. Sure enough, as someone who normally wears a women's 11, the size 9-10 fins fit perfectly, and I didn't even bother trying any other sizes. There were plenty of fins for a variety of sizes available, and prices were competitive, reasonable, and accurate compared to their website. The staff member at the register was able to apply the 10% off welcome offer to my order, so I walked away with brand new fins for less than $40! Overall a very smooth process!

We brought our kids here back in 2024 and had such a good time that we made sure to come back again…read morethis year. We spent the day at the water park, and it was just as much fun. The lazy river is always relaxing, the splash areas are perfect for the kids, and there was plenty of space to spread out without feeling overcrowded. It was clean, the staff was friendly, and everyone in the family had a great time. If you're staying at Westgate Lakes, this is definitely worth checking out and one of the highlights of the resort. We'll definitely be back again.

It's only open from 10 - 5 and it will close if the weather is bad. Great for families with kids and when we came - not too crowded. Again - this is a very small waterpark - mostly for timeshare people.

I think if you are a senior citizen, this is definitely not for you. Also everything runs off of cash mostly, no credit or debit cards. We had a 2 night reservation and had to just leave early day 2. We just forged our payment. Would not go there again.The lady in the office was pleasant and in the air boat office was also pleasant!

Ever wonder where the quintessential southern campsites are located, look no further than Camp Mack…read more- this is where the piney woods meets up with the Florida swampland. You ain't never experienced old Florida charm until you been here, the land of airboats and alligators, a place where the mosquitoes swarm at dusk and the screeching wildlife will wake you before dawn. Ahhh this is the life I love, a place where the internet struggles to connect you with the real world, the only agenda here is rest and relaxation, a place where chores are something you'll look forward to, most consist of filling the yeti with ice and can beer and visiting your neighbors on your golf cart or 4 x 4 ranger. There are no strangers here it seems everybody shares the same mindset. I spent five days here and I didn't want to leave when it came time to break camp. This place is known for its fishing and believe me they are plentiful, it's a simple recipe - catch / clean / fry. I like beer but I'm not a beer drinker I prefer vodka so I stocked up before arriving, finding beer is easy if you like the hard stuff it's a trip to town I'm guessing it at least thirty miles round trip and leaving the camp will break the vibe and there's no reason to do that if you prepare. There are no typical days here every is different but everyday is the same in the sense that you own one hundred percent of your time while you're here, it's a place you can turn your phone off and disconnect for awhile and forget anything else exist - I know I don't do that enough but I do know this is the kind of life we should be addicted too. Okay okay I'll review the place instead of the lifestyle that seems to be the norm here. Things to do: cross the street and you're in a beautiful State Park, find a shady spot down at the boat ramp and watch one of the best shows on earth there seems to be an endless number of unique water crafts being launch or being pulled from the water (airboats, bass boats, skiffs, pontoon boats, jon-boats, etc) I say with the utmost respect this place is like the redneck yacht club where everyone seems to have a buzz e.g people ride in the boats while it's still on the trailer going down the road - yes they are creeping along but it's still fricking awesome. I recommend you leave any pretentious behavior at home and pay attention to the dress code it's very easy to look out of place here - acceptable clothing includes - anything camouflage, women should have a few pairs of short shorts and a ragged pair of cowboy boots and any kind of top you can tie in the front, men shirts are optional but a stained tank top and a pair of Tevas gets you status. After the sunsets fire pit sitting beer drinking attire rules can I get a little yeehaw repeat day two and day three and so on and so on. Other highlights include a visit to the outpost store lots of beer and snacks, a indoor fish cleaning area and a bait shop, a outdoor projection screen, community fire pit, you can rent bicycles and pontoon boats or take a swamp tour on an airboat. They occasionally have live music which I hear is pretty amazing with an outdoor food court and beer for sale. The campsites are large and plentiful with full hookups with concrete or paver pads, they offer up to 50 amps, water and sewer all included unless you're planning on staying awhile then you pay for utilities. There are a few bars and restaurants, maybe restaurants is a stretch but you can buy food on property. There's a lodge onsite if you don't have a camper and still want to experience this unique venue. Theres lots more I don't think it's possible to take it all in at least not in the five days I spent here - I believe having a good cup of hot coffee at sunrise sitting in your favorite chair is nirvana, having a cocktail at sunset in the same chair by the fire pit will rejuvenate you, there's nothing wrong with freeing your soul once in awhile...

We saw a massive alligator by the river with seven baby alligators next to her. The boardwalk is above the water and safe from the gators. There is plenty of shade along the boardwalk hike. It was peaceful, beautiful, and exciting, providing some exercise for our youngsters. It is very well maintained. There was an interpretive center that we didn't go into due to time; we want to see it on a different trip. There was a guide answering questions on the trail. We'll be back!

There are a bunch of things I like about SeaWorld. I have only been to this location in Florida…read moretwice, but here are some observations. The rides are great when you can go on them and the park does not tend to be too crowded, maybe 20-40 minute wait. There is a whole kids area with a Sesame Street theme. Which if you have small children is a must. Both times I have been here, the park shut down all rides for more than an hour because of lightning storms. It gave us an opportunity to visits the exhibits, so there was a silver lining in all those clouds. There is a theater where they play live music. I don't think they do the animal shows anymore, but I could be mistaken. On my first visit there were animal shows, but on this visit we weren't fortunate enough to relive that experience. The Orca experience is awesome, and the shark experience is awe inspiring with the domed tunnel. Sharks literally swimming over your head. The Aquarium and penguin exhibits are also pretty good. As far as customer service goes, this is not a Disney experience so don't get your hopes up. Customer service is equivalent to your hometown amusement park and just a cut above McDonald's or Popeyes. The food at SeaWorld get's a solid 2 stars, except for the BBQ restaurant which get's 3 stars. Unless you are coming early and planning to stay all day, the all day eating package is not worth it at about $60 per adult. You can only eat every 90 minutes and, your drinks are limited. Everything closes at 8p, so you do the math. As far as amusement parks go in Orlando this one is mid scale. If you are a Florida resident, definitely buy an annual pass. It will pay for itself in two or three visits.
