Orlando Water Parks-What Is Your Favorite

 

With summer right around the corner, and school getting ready to get out. Many people head to Water Parks to cool off.. 

Well Orlando has four of the best Water Parks in the world with: Wet ‘N Wild, SeaWorld Aquatica, Disney Typhoon Lagoon & Disney Blizzard Beach.. 

What would be your favorite if you had to pick one…Maybe you haven’t been to Orlando before and are planning a trip. What would be the one that you are most looking forward to visiting? 

 

Walt Disney World legend has it that after a freak winter storm blanketed the area with snow, Florida’s first ski resort was born. When temperatures returned to normal, the powdery snow turned to slippery slush. Slalom courses, bobsled and toboggan runs became downhill waterslides. The chair lift carried swimmers instead of skiers. The ski jump became the tallest, fastest water slide in the nation. You are invited to what has become Disney’s Blizzard Beach, the most slushy, slippery, exhilarating water park anywhere!

Imagine yourself plunging down one of the world’s tallest, fastest free-fall speed slides at a dizzying 55 mph – in a snowy winter playground smack in the middle of sunny Florida. Sound like a cool idea? It’s only one of 22 water slides and bobsled runs at Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park, the largest of the Walt Disney World®Water Parks. Special areas for pre-teens and toddlers, and a one-acre wave pool are just a few of the many “snow-capped” amenities found in this ski resort.

 

The Lagoon homes the largest man made watershed mountain, Mt. May Day. Sitting on top of Mt. May Day is Miss Tilly, an old shrimp boat that was brought from Safen Sound, Florida. Miss Tilly erupts every half hour causing a 50-foot flume of water to spray out the boats smokestack.Whether you want to spend the day going down water slide after water slide or just sit back and relax in a lounge chair on the beach, there is plenty of fun stuff to do to keep adults and kids of all ages happy and busy for the entire day.

Typhoon Lagoon is also the place to see one of the largest wave pools in the US. The pool has an area of 2.5 acres and holds 2.75 million gallons of water. The pool has been surrounded with a white sand beach for relaxing and catching some sun. The wave pool produces 4-foot waves every 90 seconds that you can body surf on or just try to make it over. There is a tropical setting throughout the park which includes, palm trees, tropical flowers, and tropical noises.

 

Rising up in Orlando is a whimsical, one-of-a-kind water park only SeaWorld could create. Aquatica blends up close animal experiences, waters from serene to extreme, high-speed thrillsand wide, sandy beaches.

“SeaWorld is famous for immersing guests in the mystery of the sea and its animals,” said Jim Atchison, executive vice president and general manager of SeaWorld Orlando. “Aquatica takes this immersion to a new level, inviting guests to play in, over, and under the water itself.”

Setting foot into Aquatica, guests immediately experience the vastness of nearly 60 acres of lush landscape inspired by the vivid color, stunning flora and carefree personality of the South Sea Islands. Reminiscent of the rugged beauty of New Zealand, Australia and New Guinea, the landscape of Aquatica is striking. Crystal-blue rivers wind through hidden grottos and refreshing waterfalls, while rich greenery and bright flowers adorn towering rock formations.

Wet ‘n Wild Water Park is consistently voted one of America’s number one water parks. Wet ‘n Wild is owned by Universal Orlando and is located just a short drive from Walt Disney World Resort, Sea World Orlando, and Universal Orlando. There is no better way to keep your family happy on a hot day than to take them to Wet ‘n Wild Orlando.

If you are smart, you might be thinking exactly what I’m thinking that this is the perfect time for a Michigan family vacation. Yes, any time of the year is the perfect time for the perfect family vacation in an exquisite setting – the Great Lakes State.

If you like to hike, swim, fish, play in the outdoors and generally have affordable fun with your family then let me tell you a little more about why to chose Michigan for your family vacation destination.

All the outdoor activities can be found in Cadillac whether it is summer or winter. For that snowy winter vacation, try the miles and miles of snowmobile trails and ice fishing at Lakes Cadillac and Mitchell along with skiing at the Caberfae Ski Resort.

There’s no end to the summer activities including swimming at the state park, bicycling, fishing, hiking, boating and water skiing. Cadillac also features a great City Park with a real locomotive from the logging days gone by.

Imagine a 400 feet high mountain of beach sand all bright and golden colored. This is what you and your children will see at Sleeping Bear Dunes. Once you scale it you can hike across to meet the beautiful blue waters of Lake Michigan. That is if you are not buried in the sand first.

To cool off from the sand dune, try the Detroit Zoo in Royal Oak. Here you will be impressed by an amazing array of 2,500 animals along with many, many plants and trees. Quite a few of the animals here are on the endangered list. There are so many exhibits to explore but you certainly don’t want to miss the Arctic Ring of Life. It is the largest polar bear exhibit in the world.

A trip to Michigan would not be complete without a trip to what National Geographic has named “the 3rd most beautiful lake in the world”. It is Torch Lake near Traverse City and it is sure to be number one on your list once you get a sight of the Caribbean color of the water.

It is a fabulous blue-green color and is crystal clear. One other unique feature of this lake has to be the sandbars jutting hundreds of feet into the center of the lake. These sandbars make parts of the lakeshore very shallow and the clarity of the water means that water depth is hard to discern from a boat. While it looks like you are surely far enough from the shore for the water to be over your head, it may actually only be knee deep.

While you are this close to Traverse City, you should head over and check out the Great Wolf Lodge. There you will find a large indoor waterpark as well as an outdoor pool, several restaurants, and – the best part – live buffalo!

If you need more water fun, head to Utica for Four Bears Water Park and Recreation Area or Splash Universe in Dundee.

Leave your car at the hotel and hop a ferryboat or plane to visit Mackinac Island. Once there, you can explore the island by foot, bicycle or even horse and buggy. You don’t want to miss the British built Fort Mackinac, a Revolutionary War site. But don’t sound like a tourist while you are there – be sure and pronounce the name of the island correctly – it’s “Mackinaw”.

Michigan can truly be called a Winter Wonderland. The state abounds in ski resorts, ski trails, and snowmobile trails. Don’t you hear one calling you? Once you try a Michigan family vacation you will be back for years to come for the memories, outdoor activities and all the great people you meet along the way.
