ADVENTURE TIME!!! I wanna go back right now! Get there early and stay the whole day! There’s so much to do! The water slides and activities seem endless. What an amazing place. Showers and towels available when you’re done. Great food, stores and other activities available when you’re done. The beach is breathtaking and huge! That have trollers that bring you throughout the park so you don’t have to walk. We also did the dolphin encounter. I highly recommend!
