Most people connect water parks with summer, but there is a place for those wanting to escape the bitter winters in the north. The water parks in Orlando, Florida are open all year long.

Wet’n Wild is 30 acres full of thrill rides, slides, and refreshing water. From September through March they’re open from 10am to 5pm. Aquatica, Sea World’s water park, is located right across the street from Sea World. Their state-of-the-art facility keeps the water a comfortable temperature all year long. Their winter hours are 10am to 5pm, but they are closed February 1-4 and 8-11. Disney’s Blizzard Beach is one of two Disney water parks. Blizzard Beach is home to one of the tallest free-falling water slides. Their winter hours are 10am to 5pm, but they’re closed January 10 through March 20. Disney’s other water park is Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon. This park isn’t open in November and December. They begin their winter season January 20 and are open 10am to 5pm. Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon has a children’s area, waterslides, and a place for snorkeling with real sharks.

Orlando’s wonderful weather allows these parks to thrive year-around. The average high in December, January, and February is in the low 70’s and in March the average high is in the upper 70’s. Perfect weather for people who love water parks, but hate the heat of summer!
