Now is the time of the year when the Florida sun comes down hard, and the best way to cool off while on your Orlando vacation is to visit some of the finest water parks on the planet. Blizzard Beach, Typhoon Lagoon, and Wet N Wild are 3 of the coolest water parks in the country. Blizzard Beach has the theme of a snow-filled ski-resort/ wonderland in the heart of Florida, so it is the best of both worlds. I love the ski-lifts at Blizzard Beach that take you to the top of the slides, and then you can go on some of the steepest slides in existence. It is very refreshing to go to a water park when you've been at Disney World all day. The Water Park Fun and More option is the best deal in town, and gives you the freedom to experience so much. Typhoon Lagoon is a classic Disney water Park, and has such a nice family atmosphere to the place. Typhoon Lagoon is one of the original water parks in Florida, and in almost it's 20th year, keeps getting better and more exciting. Click to get your discount Typhoon Lagoon tickets right here.

Wet N Wild is the water park by Sea World on I-Drive, and there is nothing like watching Shamu get wet all day, and then going to Wet N Wild and having a splash in the pool yourself. Between Wet N Wild, Blizzard Beach, and Typhoon Lagoon - Central Florida has the best choice of water parks in the county, all within about 20 miles of each other. So - if you are in Orlando, and want to cool off from the long lines at Walt Disney World or Universal Studios, go visit one of the 3 water parks in the area, and chill out.
