Wet 'n Wild features a full-day of fun for the entire family. Honored by Amusement Business Magazine as one of the nation's best-attended water parks since the onset of their survey. Wet 'n Wild's world-class signature thrill rides and quality service offer something for fun-lovers of all ages.

Blizzard Beach
Buena Vista Dr
Lake Buena Vista, FL
Phone: (407) 934-7639
Rates: $21-$26

Blizzard Beach is billed as a rapidly melting ski resort where chair lifts and ski jumps have been put to unusual use. Surf the slopes and shred the peaks on rides like Toboggan Racer, where you fly headfirst down the side of Mount Gushmore. You can ride a chairlift back to the top where you'll also find Summit Plummet, one of the world's highest free fall slides.
Kids will love Tike's Peak where they can fool around on mini icebergs and smaller slides designed just for them. The whole family can ride a giant tube on the twists of Teamboat Springs, while more adventurous individuals can try out Runoff Rapids or Snow Stormers, which are both great fun. The Double Dipper is a downhill racer with one rider competing against the other for the fastest time. The much more sedate Cross-Country Creek on the other hand floats you through ice caves and under icy waterfalls!

Typhoon Lagoon
Buena Vista Dr
Lake Buena Vista, FL
Phone: (407) 934-7639
Rates: $21-$26

Typhoon Lagoon features a jungle motif, with tropical vegetation, waterfalls, and tidal pools. The central attraction of this park is the Typhoon Lagoon Surf Pool, the world's largest inland surfing lagoon. The 2.75 million gallon wave pool has two different modes, a surf mode with large waves at regular intervals, and a bobbing wave mode, with a continuous stream of smaller waves. Castaway Creek involves no thrills whatsoever, just a few gentle ripples as you zip around the park at 2mph, while Ketchakiddee Creek is where little people under 4 feet tall hang out and enjoy their own pint sized pools and slides. Take your pick - Gang Plank Falls, Keelhaul Falls, Mayday Falls - all very creative ways to get the whole gang from top to bottom in as many different ways, at as many different angles and with the maximum amount of splashes as humanly possible!
