Rapids Water Park
It may not be on the same grand scale as the theme parks in Orlando, but the seasonal Rapids is a great way to cool off on a hot day. There are 12 acres of water rides including an aquatic obstacle course, a children’s area, a miniature-golf course, the Superbowl (a tubeless water ride that spins and swirls before dumping riders into the pool below) and the Big Thunder, a giant funnel that plunges riders down 50 feet in a four-person tube (claustrophobia, anyone?). New in 2024: Mega Mayhem, Florida’s only dueling water coaster.
