Adventure Island
Amusement Parks, Tampa
Fodor's Review:
Ride-names like Tampa Typhoon, Gulf Scream, and Key West Rapids hint to the wild watery fun awaiting at Adventure Island, a corporate cousin of Busch Gardens that features waterslides and artificial wave pools in a 30-acre package. The park's newest thrill ride, Riptide, is an adventure enabling you to race three other riders on a sliding mat through twisting tubes and hairpin turns. Planners of this water park took the younger kids into account, with offerings such as Fabian's Funport, which has a scaled-down wave pool and interactive water gym. Along with a volleyball complex and a surf pool, there are cafés, snack bars, picnic and sunbathing areas, and changing rooms.
