Outside of the Waterfront you’ll find the Sea Lion and Otter Stadium, Sea Lion viewing area, and Pets Ahoy, the only land animal show in the park

Aquatica

This sister park is themed after the Southern Pacific and includes a wide array of water rides and attractions for people of all swimming abilities and ages. There are two wave pools, an incredible 80,000 square foot white sand beach, sun beds, umbrellas, and tons of rides:

• Dolphin Plunge. Arguably the most popular attraction in the park, Dolphin Plunge features two tube slides that pass through a pool that has a real pod of dolphins.
• Ihu’s Breakway Falls. This drop pod style body slide is brand new for 2014.
• Taumata Racer. An 8-lane racing slide allows guests to slide down on mats through sections that are both open and closed.
• Whanau Way. Hop on this tower with 4 double-raft slides.
• Tassie’s Twisters. This pair of funnel slides can be ridden solo or as double rafts.
• Omaka Rocka. The newest ride in the park, here rafts carry you through slide segments that make you feel you’re in the middle of a tornado.
• Walhalla Wave. Twist through this enclosed slide with pitch-dark segments.
• HooRoo Run. This ride shares a tower with Walhalla Wave and is a short, fast, triple-dip slide.
• Roa’s Rapids. If you love the lazy river but wish it were faster, you’ll love this more aggressive version with speed zones, center islands, and geysers.
• Loggerhead Lanes. This is the more traditional lazy river experience, which passes through the dolphin exhibit.
• Cutback Cove and Bug Surf Shores. Two wave pools allow you to choose whether you’d prefer stronger waves or gentler, rolling waves.
• Children’s centers. There are several children’s areas with smaller slides and play areas created just for the kids.

Discovery Cove

If you’ve ever wanted to visit a real coral reef, Discovery Cove is the place you want to visit. Use the snorkeling gear the park supplies and interact with thousands upon thousands of aquatic creatures, including fish and sting rays.
