Even though it’s technically a water park, Universal Orlando Resort classifies Volcano Bay as a theme park. From a lazy river to body plunge slides that blast you through the centerpiece for everyone to see, there’s fun for the whole family. Volcano Bay is also home to some of Universal's best food and drinks, like the scrumptious Waturi Fusion ice cream, a colorful twisted soft serve.
What’s new: There’s nothing new at the park this year, but there’s still plenty of fun to be had.
Time Out tip: Get to the park early, especially on warmer days. This will ensure you get a beach chair in your ideal area (I love the beach near the wave pool) without having to search too hard.
