Adventure Island

Adventure Island, located in Tampa, Florida, is much more than just a water park; it's a tropical oasis overflowing with refreshing adventures right across from its sister theme park, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. This 30-acre park offers a beautiful escape under the Florida sun, providing a perfect combination of aquatic thrills, relaxation areas, and play areas for younger children. With its relaxed Key West-inspired atmosphere and wide range of attractions, Adventure Island promises a memorable and splash-filled day for visitors of all ages.

A Rich Aquatic Heritage

Adventure Island's history dates back to June 7, 1980, the date of its public opening. Designed from the outset as the aquatic complement to Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, the park was developed to offer visitors a summer and refreshing entertainment option. As part of United Parks & Resorts (formerly known as SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment), Adventure Island has benefited over the years from continuous investments to modernize its facilities and add new, state-of-the-art attractions. These developments have allowed the park to remain relevant and attractive in the highly competitive landscape of Florida's water parks. The park has seen the addition of major slides and the renovation of existing areas, solidifying its position as one of the leading water parks in the region and the country.

Attractions For All Freshness Desires

Adventure Island is distinguished by the diversity of its aquatic attractions, designed to satisfy thrill-seekers, families, and those who simply want to relax by the water. The park has an impressive collection of water slides, offering a variety of courses and adrenaline levels. Among the most notable are dizzying experiences like Vanish Point, which offers a vertiginous free fall, or Colossal Curl, a raft slide that combines elements of a vertical wall and twists for a descent full of surprises. Slides like Solar Vortex, with its double tornado elements, or the Rapids Racer race courses add to the offer for lovers of speed and friendly competition.

For those who prefer gentler or family-friendly experiences, Adventure Island offers tube slides like Wahoo! Remix, which has been upgraded to provide a sensory experience with music and lights, or Calypso Coaster and Aruba Tuba with their winding layouts. Beyond the slides, the park has a large wave pool, offering the pleasures of the ocean without the inconveniences. A lazy river allows you to relax by floating quietly through the park. For younger visitors, interactive play areas like Castaway Falls and Shaka-Laka Shores offer colorful structures, mini-slides and water games adapted to their size, guaranteeing hours of safe fun. Adventure Island thus offers a complete range of aquatic activities so that each member of the family can find something to cool off and have fun.
