We have tables, chairs and lounge chairs throughout the park available on a first come, first-served basis.

This is Florida, and the weather changes often. Once we open, we stay open until closing time. If we have lightning in the area, our safety team will close our pools and towers until it passes. All attractions will reopen when it is safe to get back in the water.

We’ll refund your unused Splash Cash at the end of the day before you exit the park.
