A new SeaWorld water park that opened April 1st 2008. Aquatica is a family orientated park with interactive playground areas for kids and fairly tame slides.
It has a relaxed atmosphere with a large beach area and shoreline. If you were looking for thrill slides you might be disappointed. Although it has many slides which are great for children, if you're into serious thrill slides Wet N Wild or Blizzard Beach are the best Orlando water parks to try.
