While it was difficult to find a chair / shade we secured a chair in the sand area. The water was freezing but expected. It was also very relaxing. The wildlife is awesome to see. We got hot dogs, pepperoni pizza, cherry limeade. The lazy river does cost extra but it's worth it, I'd love to return because unfortunately due to inclement weather the water attractions were shut down.

I am a huge mermaid fan and being able to see the Weeki Wachee mermaid show let me live my fan girl…read moredreams. I went to the 11a show. The theater filled up quickly so get in line. Watching the performers was delightful. Even with the air lines under the water it was amazing to watch. Just being able to keep your eyes open underwater was astounding to me. We even got an extra performance for the Memorial Day holiday with a tribute to our service members. After the show they had a mermaid photo op that was donation based. After the show, I explored the rest of the park. It isn't that large but was a nice area and worth the $13 to get in. They have an area for swimming in part of the springs. I didn't bring my swimsuit but there were many people swimming and having a good time. There are some water slides too. They have a great gift shop. Loved having the opportunity to visit and see an iconic spot for mermaid lovers!

I'm not sure why the reviews are so low, maybe we came during a good time because we had the most…read morewonderful day I ever had at an amusement park! Likely with the students in the area back in school, it helped as we went on a weekday while vacationing here & we were able to go on every ride in 5-10 minutes each and rode each coaster 2-3 times (no fast pass). My son wants to visit every amusement park & this one was a top choice. Our favorite was iron gwazi. I found discount tickets on Groupon $55 & even when the park has deals, Groupon is better as they don't attach all the extra fees. We got the all day meal deal $40 with Groupon deal, but we shared one & went back every 90 minutes which worked well as we didn't want to each eat too much and get sick. We had one difficult experience with the ride rental lockers & I'll never forget how helpful the staff were with us - truly remarkable. I also appreciate that their ride photos are only $5 for digital & $7 for print - they are sometimes 5x that costs at other parks. The only negative I have to say is closing at 6pm on an August weekday seems way too early, i understand a lot of employees are students but at least 8pm? I can't complain too much though as we had plenty of time due to how fairly empty it was.

The quality and the price of this park match exactly…read more We had annual passes for a year. For the second to most expensive one it was quite inexpensive. We more than made our moneys worth on this one. I would highly recommend checking out an annual pass because I think if you go maybe three times total it's more worth it to get the pass than a day ticket. The major benefit of LEGOLAND is how many indoor places there are where kids can just play with Legos. Seriously a dream that I just sit on a bench while my kids build and they can be there for hours. I have never found LEGOLAND to be that busy. There are some rides that get upwards of a 30 minute wait, but being that my kids aren't dying for any specific ride we just skipped those. The waterpark is definitely worth it as well to add onto the ticket. It's not huge, but during Florida's really hot season which is almost year-round, it's a great perk to head to the waterpark in the middle of the day. The food options here are quite terrible. The only bar is in the water area. Otherwise you can get wine or beer at quick service restaurants. The quick Service that has slightly healthier options. That's in the area where you build cars has opened again, which is great. However, overall expect the food here to be unhealthy and quite bad. The hours are also pretty short from 10 to 6 on most days, but it is enough to get through pretty much the whole park since it isn't that crowded. Parking is also very close to the park. The workers here aren't super friendly, and the rides aren't that efficient to get on, so even if it looks like a short line, it could be really long, but again at this price that's fine. After a year we were taking a year break from these passes, but I could definitely see us visiting every so often.

I went into LEGOLAND hoping for that classic LEGO magic, bright colors, fun details, and the…read morefeeling that everything around you was built from the bricks we all know and love. Instead, the property felt tired, worn down, and was lowkey very neglected. The maintenance issues were impossible to ignore. Paint was fading everywhere, the iconic LEGO bricks on buildings and sculptures looked washed out, and a lot of the park just didn't look clean. Dust was literally caked onto vents and fans, like they hadn't been touched in ages. It gave the whole place a dull, dingy vibe instead of the playful, colorful atmosphere you'd expect from a LEGO experience... The Ninjago ride breaking down with people stuck on it was another huge red flag. Rides malfunction sometimes, sure, but when the rest of the park already feels poorly maintained, it doesn't exactly inspire confidence. And maybe the biggest disappointment: it just didn't feel like LEGO. Instead of that bold, creative, brick-built world, the park gives off more of a "knockoff LEGO" energy. Like the idea is there, but the devs did not execute it properly. Its giving tourist trap vibes... Just save ur hundred dollars and put it towards going to Disney or Universal... Like bro what do they even do with the money they earn from the park.. BUT THE STAFF ARE VERY SUPER NICE!! Overall, the experience felt underwhelming and outdated. With the price of admission, you'd expect a park that's clean, well-kept, and full of that signature LEGO personality. Unfortunately, this was not IT.

Had a slightly traumatic experience today. My 7 year old got stuck (for 5 to 10 minutes) in the big slide which is pitch dark all the way through (fun but not when you get stuck) and he wasn't helped promptly. Full story - I was up there at the slide entrance and i could hear him screaming that he needs help. There was a staff up there (looked like a teenage kid) who had a walkie talkie. I assumed he would have informed the people in charge as soon as he got stuck. I kept talking to my son to lie down and try to push himself down and he kept responding saying he's trying everything but is still stuck and it is getting very uncomfortable. After a while I checked with the staff whether someone is coming to help. And then I see him telling on the walkie talkie "the boy is stuck on the slide can someone help?". I was shocked. It must have been a good 5 minutes (no watch, just guessing) and he just thought of informing?! By the time someone could come, my son finally managed to push himself down. I told the guy "you should have informed quicker" and his response was "talk to my manager". I thought "ok no use talking to the teenage kid he probably wasn't trained how to react in these situations". I went to the manager and told her "please train your staff to inform quicker" her response "he probably was sitting down, we cannot do anything about this" i go "No he was lying down this time.. first time he was sitting, but this time he was lying" she repeats "he probably was sitting; we don't promise how long it takes to slide; you eventually get down and that's what matters". Is this an empathetic response? I mean i get you have to stick to boiler plate legal language at times, but im not trying to sue anyone here. Im just looking for "i understand that must have felt scary, ill talk to my staff on acting quicker". I felt like I was talking to a robot both with the teenage staff and with the manager. Anyway, my husband intervened and helped the communication and both the manager and the teenage staff eventually apologized and i really appreciated it. Takeaway - If you're not staying in Holiday Inn, NorthShore Aquatic Center might be as fun for a fraction of the cost If you're staying in Holiday Inn, avoid the blue slide or go shirtless (another staff pointed out that might have helped) I see other reviews as well about untrained and disengaged teenage staff. Should have read before I visited!

A Lake Nona gem -- fun for the whole family!…read more We absolutely love Nona Adventure Park! My daughter is obsessed with the water park -- it's her favorite part, and honestly, it's hard to beat on a hot Florida day. The setup is amazing, super clean, and well-organized, and the staff always makes sure everyone feels safe while still having tons of fun. Beyond the waterpark, they do such a great job hosting special events -- there's always something new and exciting happening. I definitely recommend checking their event calendar often because they plan the most creative, family-friendly activities throughout the year. It's also such a flexible and beautiful space -- whether you're spending the day on the water, grabbing snacks, or relaxing while the kids play, it's the perfect place to enjoy time together as a family. If you're in the Lake Nona area, Nona Adventure Park is a must. Great energy, great people, and endless fun for all ages!

Kids had a great time, especially sliding into the lake from the inflatables. My only complaint is the price point. We paid $75 for two kids to do the climbing tower & 45 minutes on the inflatables. A 45 minute session was definitely not enough for them. Next time, we will opt for two sessions I guess...It would be great if they had a summer pass, but from what I can tell, season passes are all sold out. Even being able to buy a 5 or 10 session pass at a discounted rate would be great.

My younger sister and I were so excited about it we didn't give it a second thought and brought it right up to the counter. The woman at the counter gave us the points and said she'd text her manager about the note inside. We played for another 30 minutes or so and went back to the counter. She told us our point total and I asked if her manager had texted her back. She said they did, then "ha ha very funny" which caught me off guard. I realize now that it was a prank by whoever had the chest before, but I responded apologetically even though the attitude confused me. She told us something along the lines of "yeah well it's not real" like we were annoying her. She walked away while we were trying to just move on and choose our prizes. Another woman came to help us. The entire interaction left me feeling humiliated and incredibly insulted. I asked a question. I didn't deserve that. Disgusting experience.

These statues were purchased through an auction by owner of Columbia Group Richard Gonzmart which Ulele is a part of. He went there as a child so he wanted to bring it back to Tampa. They were restored and placed around the beautiful picturesque grounds of Ulele. They can be found on the side of the front, closer to the river, and also on the grassy areas. They are all so adorable, & we had fun taking pics around them. We missed a few by the water and definitely want to go back for more pics. The best one is the horse carriage and also Humpty Dumpty which you can't forget about him on the top of the building. Can't wait to see more of it as it gets completed from restoration.

Sometimes in business you have to loose a little to gain a lot, and that's what greedy people in the business world don't understand.

This review is for their camp…read more It's crazy that nine years ago I went on the zip line course and here we are now and I have a seven-year-old who went to camp here. I actually had no idea they had a camp in the summer until one of my son's friends wanted to go here and asked us to join him. I'm so glad he did because it was an absolutely fantastic camp. It is fully outside, but they are mainly in the shade so I didn't worry about sunburn and also the kids never complained about it being hot. I have no idea what wizardry this is, but it was completely fine. Three days they zip line and two days they paddleboard. I was actually quite nervous because my son is small so I wasn't sure if he'd be able to zip line. I did call and ask and they said if it's a windy day that he would be tethered to a Guide. He ended up skipping zip lining for two of the days, but on the final day of zip line, he did it and he loved it. He's actually now asking for us to go back together. They also provide lunch, which is fantastic because I hate figuring out what to send for food. They provide snacks as well so all I had to do was send my son with a water bottle and on certain days with a swimsuit and towel. He had a fantastic time. You can drop off at 8:30 and pick up at 4:30, they really don't start till about 9:30 though and I totally took advantage of a later drop off. You can pay eight dollars a day to pick up at five, which is extremely reasonable. We've already been talking about going back to camp again here next year and maybe for additional weeks. He loved it.
