The Sunshine State enjoys delightful weather almost all-year-round, and there’s no better place to cool down and blow-off steam than at Rapids Water Park. Dive into the wave pool for water curls reaching six feet high and float down the river with ease.

Peanut Island

Peanut Island is a beautiful tropical parkland covering more than 80 acres and is the perfect place to take a break from the bustling city. Aptly named after its shape, the island is rimmed with white beaches and surrounded by glittering turquoise waters filled with aquatic life.
