Aquatica Orlando kicks off Summer with New Experiences and the return of AquaGlow

Summer is heating up, and Aquatica Orlando is the place to cool down with award-winning attractions, family-friendly play zones, relaxing amenities and ALL-NEW after-dark excitement. Recently named Best Wave Pool in America by USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards—and recognized over four times as America’s Best Outdoor Waterpark—Aquatica is the ultimate destination for endless summer fun in Central Florida. Whether racing the currents of Roa’s Rapids by day or glowing through an immersive waterpark party by night at AquaGlow, Aquatica has something for every splash-loving guest. With limited-time summer events, all-new enhancements and year-round favorites, there’s never been a better time to dive in.

What’s New at Aquatica Orlando This Summer

Aquatica Orlando is bringing even more fun to every hour of the day with exciting new limited-time experiences that light up the night and start the day with a splash.

ALL-NEW AquaGlow – Select Nights, May 16–Sept. 27 (Separately Ticketed Event)

The fan-favorite nighttime splash party is back—bigger, brighter and bolder than ever. On select evenings this summer, AquaGlow transforms Aquatica Orlando into a vibrant after-hours celebration with high-energy music, glowing installations, laser light shows, unlimited soft drinks and low wait times on attractions.

New in 2025, guests can drift through the radiant LUMINOUS Lane, twist through the kaleidoscopic colors of Tassie’s NEON Twist, or ride the neon-lit currents of Roa’s Rapids: AMPED UP.

Plus, the Foam Party Frenzy brings nonstop bubbles and beats under the stars. Guests can elevate their night with early admission, a meal bundle or a glowing private cabana stocked with towels, lockers and chilled bottled water.
