Shamu's Happy Harbor

Frommer's Review

This 3-acre play area has a four-story net tower with a 35-foot crow's-nest lookout, water cannons, remote-controlled vehicles, nine slides, a submarine, and a water maze. It's one of the most extensive play areas at any park and a great place for kids to unwind. Bring extra clothes for the kids (and maybe for yourself, too) because it's not designed to keep you dry. Smaller kids will require close supervision, however, as they can easily get lost in all the action -- and unlike many other play areas in other parks, there are several escape routes here. Options that will assuredly entertain little ones include the Shamu Express, a kid-friendly coaster; the Samba Tower that lifts and spins kids in jellyfish-like seats; and a teacup-style ride, where kids spin round and round in buckets that surround a gigantic sandcastle.
