Best Water Parks To Visit In The US
We wanted to know which Florida water parks ranked in the Top 10 Best Water Parks in the nation. We were shocked by what we found!
When you’re looking to cool down and beat the summer heat, few places are better than a water park. Splashing around, having fun, being out in the sunshine… sounds like a great time. Some lucky reporters (sadly none of us here) got to travel around the U.S. and experience what these water parks had to offer. It’s more than slides and lazy rivers that make a water park great. Awesome atmosphere, hair-raising rides, and creative concessions put these Top 10 water parks in a league of their own. We’re talking about vortex tunnels, vertical plunges, water coasters, surf simulators, even dolphins. Can your backyard slip-n-slide and kiddie pool compete? Didn’t think so.
Since the Sunshine State is a huge tourist destination, we should have a bunch of water parks that crack the Top 10. Well four of them are in Florida and three are within driving distance of Tampa Bay. Summer is far from over so maybe it’s time to plan a family escape to one of the great water parks that are so close to us.
The top 10 winners in the category Best Outdoor Water Park are follows:
- Aquatica Orlando – Orlando
- Lost Island Waterpark – Waterloo, Iowa
- Splashin’ Safari – Santa Claus, Ind.
- Water Country USA – Williamsburg, Va.
- Dollywood’s Splash Country – Pigeon Forge, Tenn.
- Island H2O Live! – Kissimmee, Florida

Check out why they picked these 10 here. Do you think they got the order right? Do you think they missed any?
Splash your way to fun this summer at a great water park and make sure you wear your sunscreen. Look for us floating down one of the lazy rivers sippin’ a cool drink!
