Wild Waters
North of Central Florida's theme parks and adjacent to Silver Springs, Wild Waters offers wildly wet and wonderful family fun. Visitors to the park can soak up the sun on the "beach" or keep cool in the shade of giant oaks.Water play is plentiful – a wave pool, water slides, flumes, and splash pools. Get shot out of the Silver Bullet, a 220-foot-long flume that turns riders into white-water racers. The Tornado, Hurricane, Thunderbolt, and Twin Twister are turbulent tummy testers.
Young tots can enjoy a wading area with novelty fountains and water animal rides, while children can explore Cool Kids Cove, a multi-level interactive fun zone that features water cannons, slides, and a swinging bridge.
