Live the Legend:

In the DC Super Hero Academy live show, guests hear legendary tales straight from the comic books! But this isn’t just story time, it's a chance for guests to jump into the action and flex their super powers by solving puzzles, testing heroic instincts and crafting a personal adventure. But guests should stay alert – and keep a sharp lookout – for any Heroes that might pop in to join the fun.

Dine with Heroes:

Wonder Woman, Batman and Superman join guests for a character dining experience in Hall of Justice Character Dining. An unforgettable dining experience filled with heroic encounters, a diverse menu and lots of surprises, it’s more than a meal – it’s a mission.

Heroic Hands at Work:

Young guests’ creativity takes flight in DC Super Hero Craft Zone, a secret hideaway where guests can showcase their artful skills to create a treasured take-home souvenir.

Riddle Me This:

Guests embark on a puzzle-filled adventure in the Revenge of The Riddler Scavenger Hunt. Using clues in their secret booklet, guests use their greatest detective skills to solve The Riddler’s mind-bending puzzles that are scattered throughout Gaylord Palms.

Super Soaked!:

In addition to the excitement of the 3-acre Cypress Springs Water Park, guests can enjoy the DC

Super Hero Splash, featuring superhero games, DC trivia, a live DJ, lots of super hero fun facts and specialty Super Hero-inspired beverages – including new ICEE drinks like “Amazonian Freeze” and “Metropolis Chill” – to help beat the heat. On select evenings, the video screen at Cypress Springs Water Park becomes a silver screen for DC Movie Night Poolside, where DC Super Hero films can be viewed from the main feature pool, or in poolside seating.

Super Sightings:

Guests can snap a photo or “super selfie” with a DC Super Hero as they make surprises appearances around Gaylord Palms.

An Epic ‘Glowdown’:

A nighttime clash between good and evil between DC’s greatest Super Heroes and Super-Villains unfolds in the sky above the atrium floor in the Battle for Justice Light Show. Using the LED light curtains suspended from the Gaylord Palms atrium ceiling, colorfully animated visuals will be accompanied by a cinematic musical score for a super end to each heroic day.
