The rides were fun. Just what you might expect from a good sized water park. Lots of variety.
However, we found the place very dirty. Trash scattered throughout the park. Garbage cans were over-flowing in some cases. Standing in line for the rides, you could smell urine. It made us wonder if we were walking in it. EW!
This waterpark is infested by rude teenagers. Long lines and waiting times is just the beginning of a bad experience. Busch Gardens is the much better alternative.
If you aren't the one that's paying, you will have a good time. My son is a waterbug & he loved it. Many slides to choose from, & not really long lines. My only complaint is: Not enough staff. It can be a free-for-all getting tubes. There is also alot of line jumping that is not dealt with. Overall a pretty good time, however, it's not cheap!

The Absolute Best Waterpark

Adventure Island is one of the best places to visit here in Tampa. It's a water park with all kinds of things. There are slides, a wave pool, and lots of play areas. One are for children under, I believe, 48 inches that the little ones love. Then, there's Splash Attack, an area of fun for ALL kids, particurally ages 4 to 12. Then, there an ...
Make sure you get their early to get the best spot. We usually go straight after you get in and get lounge chairs in the sand by the pool.
We go from there.............

'EXHILIRATING'

You can sit like a frog on a log complaining about the price,or you can go gangbusters and have fun all day long.
My wife and I went 2 years ago with our 2 kids. I was surprised at how much it cost to get in, but once I got past the initial semi-shock, I was OK. We did bring a small cooler in to keep snacks and drinks in to off-set some of the ...

A fun getaway!

My boyfriend and I have been dating for three years. One day we just needed a break and the two of us spent the day relaxing and having more fun in than we had in a long time! The entire staff was great.
