Planning a day at Aquatica Orlando? Packing a few essentials before you leave can help you spend less time worrying about what was forgotten and more time enjoying the slides, wave pools, and sunny Florida weather.

Whether you're visiting for the first time or returning for another splash-filled adventure, here are 8 things that will help you prepare for a great day at the park.

 

Aquatica Orlando Packing Checklist

 

 

Swimwear

A comfortable swimsuit is the most important item you'll need for your visit. Most attractions require appropriate swim attire, so be sure to wear swimwear designed for water park activities.

Extra Clothing

Many guests like to bring a cover-up, t-shirt, or change of clothes for walking around the park or heading home after a full day of fun.

Sunscreen

Florida sunshine can be intense year-round. Applying sunscreen before you arrive and reapplying throughout the day can help keep you comfortable while enjoying outdoor attractions.

Sunglasses and Hat

Protect yourself from the sun while relaxing on the beach, strolling between attractions, or enjoying a meal outdoors.

Water Shoes or Sandals

Comfortable footwear can make it easier to navigate the park and protect your feet from hot walkways during the warm summer months.

Towels

Guests may choose to bring their own towels or explore available rental options during their visit.

Waterproof Phone Case

Capture memories throughout the day while protecting your phone from splashing waves and water.

Refillable Water Bottle

Staying hydrated is an important part of any Florida adventure, especially during the summer months.  Stop in at any quick service location or find your nearest water fountain for free water refills in your refillable water bottle all day.

 

Top 5 Things To Know Before You Go

 

If this is your first time visiting Aquatica, here are five things' guests should leave at home or plan accordingly before arriving at the park.

 

 

Cash

 

Aquatica Orlando is a cashless park, so cash is not accepted for purchases throughout the park. Guests should plan to use a credit card, debit card, mobile payment, or other accepted cashless payment methods during their visit.  If you have cash, look for in-park signage or use your mobile app to locate our “Cash to Card” Kiosks located around the park. 

 

Personal Cameras on Attractions

 

For the safety of all guests, personal cameras, phones, and loose items should not be brought onto water slides, tube rides, or other attractions where they may become damaged, lost, or create a safety concern. Be sure to follow all attraction-specific guidelines and instructions from park ambassadors.

 

Locker Rentals

 

Keep Your Belongings Safe! With so many attractions to enjoy throughout the day, it's important to have a secure place to store your personal items while you're in the water.

Convenient locker rentals are available for guests who want a safe place to store valuables, extra clothing, towels, electronics, and other personal belongings while exploring the park.

 

 

Private Cabanas

 

For guests looking to upgrade their day, private cabanas provide a comfortable home base to relax between attractions. In addition to offering shade and seating, cabanas give families and groups a convenient place to keep personal items nearby throughout the day.

 

Taking advantage of lockers or cabanas can help you spend less time worrying about your belongings and more time enjoying everything Aquatica Orlando has to offer.

 

Are Life Jackets Available?

 

Yes. Aquatica Orlando provides complimentary United States Coast Guard (USCG) approved life jackets in a variety of sizes throughout the park, including options for infants and children. Guests are welcome to use these life jackets free of charge during their visit.

 

For safety, guests under 48 inches tall are required to wear life jackets on many attractions. Be sure to check attraction signage for specific requirements.

 

Guests may also bring their own personal life jackets, provided they are in good condition and approved by the U.S. Coast Guard. Upon arrival, personal life jackets must be reviewed and approved by a park ambassador before use.
