Universal Volcano Bay
Make Waves. It’s a water theme park, which is like a theme park with a whole lotta water. And that big thing in the middle is just like a real volcano. ‘Cause you know volcanoes have water slides, the kind that’ll make you chicken out at the last minute unless your friends (or kids) peer pressure you. And if you’re more a go-with-the-flow type, we got chill things like a winding river, wave pool—oh, and lounge chairs. Doesn’t get chiller than that. Remember, it’s a South Seas oasis (and nothing says oasis like a volcano).
HIGHLIGHTS:
Krakatau You can climb the full 200 feet in the air - in fact; it's the largest mountain in Florida!
There are four different rides on Krakatau Volcano. At different levels for all to enjoy.
The wave village is a great place to relax in a comfortable deck chair and enjoy the sunshine.
