I have an annual pass and the best time is of year to go is January on a Wednesday when school is in. You will be one of the only ones there. If you don’t, get ready for LOOOONG lines.
For me Aquatica is just the perfect relaxing day away from the parks . There is plenty todo , it’s clean and is easy to navigate around . As with all these attractions parking costs but it’s the same for them all . Another great review 😃
one of the worst water parks in florida. shouldn't be finding rust on omaka rocka and a lack of QQ usability. run down ratty water park, 1 hr for food and parking. staff don't know a thing about quick queue
You are awesome not only did I get a full review and a discussion about tips and tricks but also you gave us a terrific idea of where to begin/plan and how to set up camp you are quite fantastic thank you!
My friends and I went to Aquatica and one of my friends has very severe food allergies which required him to have different food without any of the allergens present and they refused to allow him to bring it in. We tried to explain to the people at the gate that he couldn't eat anything at the park because of his allergies but they wouldn't listen, we all felt really bad for him because the only thing he could eat was grapes but he insisted that it was fine. although we enjoyed some of the slides, the insensitivity when it came to food allergies dampened our day quite a bit
Just discovered you. Me and my family watch LOADS of Orlando related stuff, our favs being Tim Tracker, Lodge Guys and L&R and we've just subscribed to you. We really enjoyed your videos so far, really good content and very informative (same quality as DFB in my opinion) Looking forward to seeing more! Thanks 👍😀
Thank you for the kind comments! Yeah, I watch those channels too they’re amazing. In particular DFB has been a big influence. Thank you for motivating me to make more vids! I need to watch more Lodge Guys!
For those who go to waterparks often I’d recommend buying a portable safe you can lock to your Sun lounger. I bought one this year and it’s already paid for itself by avoiding locker fees.
My kids and I just went to to Aquatica and to be honest everything he said is point on. I purchased the all day dining and the food was 🤮 the food was way over cooked and burnt the staff does not care about your questions or concerns. The rides are fun but if you don’t work out regularly be prepared to be sore the next day the stairs you have to climb on while carrying the equipment trust me you will feel it the next morning.
Coming from someone who has lived in Florida since 2017. The best time to visit is during the school year. I live 90 minutes south of Orlando in Riverview. I have a annual pass to Busch Gardens, Adventure Island, SeaWorld and Aquatica. Never go to Disney or any theme park in the summer always go in the school year the wait time is cut in half and you can experience a lot more.
We've always had a great time at Aquatica would definitely recommend to anyone. When was the footage filmed? We were there in April and that chap coming out of the slide at the 30 second mark looks like me!!
Very nice overview. I've been thinking I should go to Aquatica and you've done a good job of giving us the pros and cons so we don't get too much hype. Since I'm planning to get a Seaworld annual pass, I might as well try it since it's included. And frankly I'm too old to care about a lot of the rides. I'm looking for a nice lazy river and a fun tide pool. :)
You only get preferred parking and you have to have the Platinum pass now. Used to be you only needed the Gold pass…but that changed in Jan 2023…and they failed to mention that to me when I told them I wanted the Gold pass mainly for the preferred parking when I got my passes…in November 2022!! I won’t be renewing my Seaworld/Aquatica passes. Universal Orlando is more worth the money.
Yes!!!!yes!!!!its deffinetky worth it.I went last week and had the best time ever. Tip:I do not suggest dolphin plunge because it’s a very long wait and there’s a rope bridge so it’s kinda dangerous.and a lot of the time you cannot see the dolphins
There are some slides that got taken out and added from 2 years ago. I enjoyed it. I just wish it wasn’t as crowded & more of a lazy River haha. It’s definitely worth a visit tho!
I want to visit Aquatica just to see the Commerson's dolphins! Only 3 parks in the world have these and the other two are in Japan. Aquatica even has an interactive program with these dolphins where you can touch them and learn about them. I don't think the Japanese aquarium offer anything interactive with these dolphins, so it's a very unique experience at Aquatica.
Just went to Aquatica this week with the family. Parking is now $30. Locker rentals start at $30 for small which is large enough for one backpack. Then I believe it's $40 for medium locker, $50 for large 😕.
HI, do you have rent a locker? Are guests allowed to just carry thier backpack? Can I bring my own towel? Are snacks and sunscreen allowed? Hopefully you answer, it'd help a lot! Thanks.
Do they actually check your backpacks? They didn’t even question my backpack at SeaWorld. We’re finally going to Aquatica and was hoping not to starve with their garbage food. But if they do make us leave our snacks, and we have to buy their shit food, I’m going to raise hell all the way to management if it tastes like garbage!
My family is taking a trip to Orlando over our Spring Break. We are 100% spending 2 days in the Disney Parks but we are considering spending a third day either in another Disney park or a water park. The top choice for water park right now is Typhoon Lagoon but Aquatica also seems interesting. Do you have a comparison video for the two of them? Would love to check it out.
It depends on the ages of your children. Typhoon lagoon has beautiful themes but its more for younger kids. The slides are more mellow, and aging. The lines in the body slides pinch. I prefer tube slides personally, they have more and better slides I think at Aquatica. I love the all you can eat buffet at Aquatica. You eat and drink all day for the price of a meal at most parks. I always go to all of the waterparks and theme parks with multi day tickets. If I had to choose id pick Aquatica.
For my review aqautica is very fun but when going in the kiddie pool with the kid slides there is a height limit so I wouldn't recommend tall children on it Also for the dolphin ride this will help you if your light weighted sit up and don't lay down with arms cross also try to keep your strength because it will force you down in the water (if you cant swim Id also suggest this)
Pretty much all parks are the same now. In this case you pay $40 then parking and a locker another $40 before even touching the water. Food is super expensive too.
I’ve been on a Sunday recently. You need to plan to get to the park 30 minutes or more before opening time. If not, sadly you will wait a LONG time to just get into the park- not including parking. Also, make sure you have your tickets and or annual pass ready to go so you can avoid any confusion at the main gates. I also suggest water shoes for your family- most of the park has sprinklers that wet your feet but! There are some areas that do not and trust me- the pavement is HOT!!!! Not sure if you have been here before or if it’s your first time - if you have any questions just reply to this feed and I’ll help you as best I can. I hope you all have a great time!! 😃
nope, volcano bay is easily one of the top 10 water parks in the world, its so amazing to go to. Hawaii theme, has a whole volcano built from the ground, amazing slides, awesome lazy river. I would go every 3 months if i could but cant cause im in middle school lol
I think it was very bold of them to reopen, and credit to all those who have worked hard to make it happen. To me, America is about having trust in people to make their own decisions which I respect. But of course, concerns about safety are super valid. TLDR - I’m sitting firmly on the fence.
Me and my family of 4 almost drowned in Roas Rapids, my mom was drowning my sister is autistic and cried and my dad hold my sister while I was bumping into people and drowning :’^)
How can people afford this stuff? I mean there's people calling this a relaxing day away from the parks lol. This would be the main attraction if i visited. Those vacations gotta cost thousands if there are people visiting the universal and Disney parks AND this
I expected to love this place. It was the WORST place we visited in Orlando and we left after 5 minutes. Water was ice ice cold. Everybody was shivering coming out. Half the rides were shut down so lines were super long. Greatly disappointed. I couldn't put more than my foot in the lazy river water it was horribly cold! Never again. We went on wed April 20th. 2022

Which slide gets your top pick at Aquatica?
Hmm I like the one that opens in the bottom I’ve been in the blue one! ☺️
Ray Rush has to take the cake in my opinion
Wow, this is tough. Omaka Rocka and Kare Kare Curl are really good. But I can't forget about Ray Rush or Walhalla Wave.
Roas Rapids!! So much fun for the family
tassies twisters and loggerheads
Me and my family just went to this place, we had lots of fun definitely recommend this place to anyone who is interested.
Going tomorrow 😁
@@eriktorres2089 how was it? We going on friday

I wonder why these employees can't take a hint that bad customer relations isn't going to help them one bit. Would it kill Aquatica to be reasonable?
@@largol33t1 well their a multi million company, i dont think they even have to care
Aquatica slides are unique and they have a wide selection, and sea world is next door.

Do you watch BSF?

You’re welcome, glad you found it useful 👍😁
For those who go to waterparks often I’d recommend buying a portable safe you can lock to your Sun lounger. I bought one this year and it’s already paid for itself by avoiding locker fees.
Hey there smart guy, you do know that people can just take the safe with them and crack it at home right?

Would first week of April be good?
@@TYBO4696 yes and no. Yes because school is still going. No because April is the rainy month. It will rain everyday of the week.
@@Nascardude18 so as far as how busy the parks will be volcano bay/universal? Lower than usual? Thanks
@@TYBO4696 yes with COVID restrictions the parks can only be at a certain capacity. You have to make reservations before anything else.
i went to aquatica the rapid river was so much fun and the slides
were so much fun
We've always had a great time at Aquatica would definitely recommend to anyone. When was the footage filmed? We were there in April and that chap coming out of the slide at the 30 second mark looks like me!!
Can’t remember which clip that is part of now but most likely March 2019. Thanks for watching!
Your welcome
Aquatica is a great fun place for family
Would have to agree!
I liked the all you can eat buffet at Aquatica, we dont have them in Nova Scotia! I enjoyed going in December and January. Not busy at all. Loved it!
Heading there in January for our first time, so found this video very helpful!
Glad you found it helpful thank you! Most of the issues highlighted in the video likely won’t affect you in January 🤞
Enjoy!

Lockers are not mandatory and you can bring your own towels. They are however quite strict when it comes to snacks.

This park opened on my 12th birthday March 1st 2008 I’m 26 now and still love this park and I was there opening day
Thank you for taking the time out to make this video.
I'm going to Aquatica this week whej my dad comes to visit, im excited
Hope you have an awesome time 😁
Tip go to the rides as quick as you can you’ll go on way more
I'm just checking this out because I'm going tomorrow with my mom
i’ve been watching too many videos of dangerous theme parks
aquatic is at least peaceful :)
My favorite slide is the racing one
Did volcano bay last time & had a lot of fun,i’m sure aquatica will be an equally great day.
Despite still being salty about them taking my Doritos off me, I think it’s a very solid waterpark.
Which would u say is better of the two
@@TheFrugalBrit I like volcano bay better
@@cece5464 Volcano Bay. It has more thrills there.
Maybe I should come here instead of Adventure Island? Shows more color and character. And much lively.

This place is worth a trip I went here I had a blast
cool
This place is amazing definitely worth
Lazy river is my favorite attraction❤
Thank you . Going in August
Very welcome, hope you have a great time! Thanks for watching.
Thank you for this I needed to know more before I chose this

I love The mat racer Ride I tried it and I had fun
Y’all really didn’t hide your food🖐 if you hide it under stuff (especially feminine products) you usually can sneak it in
I like it!
Lol. Funny…right before seeing this, I was thinking of putting sex toys under towels so they’d look no further 😂

Aye I be going there in April this year we are stopping not far from it
Good lad
It's worth it
I went on a Tuesday April and we had to wait 30-40 minutes each ride and slides were closed
It’s the water heated outside the summer months, like in legoland’s waterpark? Planning a trip the last weekend of April.

hope u have funnn we're flying there june 13

How can people afford this stuff? I mean there's people calling this a relaxing day away from the parks lol. This would be the main attraction if i visited. Those vacations gotta cost thousands if there are people visiting the universal and Disney parks AND this
Yeah they get very expensive. Some people will just visit one of the main resort complexes (disney, universal or SeaWorld) per vacation.
thanks for the great videos
Very welcome, my pleasure, thank you for watching!!
I expected to love this place. It was the WORST place we visited in Orlando and we left after 5 minutes. Water was ice ice cold. Everybody was shivering coming out. Half the rides were shut down so lines were super long. Greatly disappointed. I couldn't put more than my foot in the lazy river water it was horribly cold! Never again. We went on wed April 20th. 2022
Cause it was April 💀
Do they allow you wearing like a shirt over your top while going down the slides?
I’m a lifeguard there and nope . Closed slides need you to wear either not shirt or a rash guard type material .
going today!
How was it!?
Really nice it wasn’t really crowded the lines were not that even long and it was really fun!
Currently Volcano bay $70 per person without tax and parking is $20. Ridiculous. No person s/b over $35 dollars. sinful
great video!!
Very cool share
Thank you! Nice channel btw, appears in my feed regularly.
Everything was great but the sand full of ants 🤣 that was crazy
10/10 narrator
😁
Did they let you take go pros on the slides or did you have to have special permission?
The racer is scary tho because it went by fast like at first your just like boooo this sucks but then when you go on the bumps it goes straight down
😂
1 annoying thing I found about aquatica is that there isn't much shade, and not enough sprayers for the paths, so the floor gets unbelievably hot
Yeah I think that’s valid.
We went two years ago and I can agree, we went on a scorching day and we had to sprint to each sprayer.
@@scouting_leo7535 yep basically lol the other water parks there don't seem to have that problem. There's either more sprayers or more shade
So true at one point it gets so hot on the floors that my siblings and I would Naruto run out of there
And my brother would always get left behind 🤣
@@pink-ny3bm I haven't been to aquatica for nearly 3 years and I can still feel the pain lol
I went to Volcano Bay and the next day to Aquatica. It’s messy and old compared to Volcano Bay. I wouldn’t go back.

Hoping to have SeaWorld done in January
Great review. How about an update? Tks
Thx for the tips

Thank you! 👍😁
I'm going to Orlando for vacation in July and I can decide between volcano bay and aquatics, Any recommendations ???
ME TOO I'm going beginning of July going back and forth between reviews for both and idkkk
Both are great parks. Volcano Bay edges it overall, but it’s more expensive.
I may go today! 😁😁😁😁
And I live in Orlando
Thank you!!
How come every water park has the exact same rides and how come they don't make an adult play area
