Get a splashy fun time
Universal Orlando is renowned for its great number of attractions, iconic themed lands, and delectable cuisine scattered throughout the park. However, when seeking out avenues for a memorable experience, one might instinctively gravitate towards The Wizarding World of Harry Potter or perhaps the vibrant streets of Springfield. I mean, we love hanging out with Krusty the Clown and checking out the new interactive wands available in Hogsmeade and the Diagon Alley.
Both of them are pretty popular among guests worldwide. Yes, we have to admit it, they’re quite fun to visit. But there are more options to enjoy during a Universal trip, especially if you want a way to make your journey truly unique.
Volcano Bay: thrilling, tasteful, and retail therapy
As the summer season approaches and the Florida sun blazes, the allure of cooling off in a pool or experiencing the exhilaration of thrilling water parks becomes irresistible. I do need a slide or just let my body float in a lazy river.
Well, what could be better than replenishing your energy with a diverse number of dining options or escaping the heat in air-conditioned stores during a shopping spree?
All of that is what Volcano Bay offers to visitors. Yes, yes the rides and all that sounds pretty good. We know, you can find them there, from the typical slides to lazy rivers. But, when spending all day long exploring the wonders of this incredible water park, from the Rainforest Village to the River, Wave, or Volcano Village, there inevitably comes a moment when your stomach declares... "Hey dude, I need food!"
Or perhaps your inner shopaholic whispers, "Is there a store nearby to explore?" It's a clever tactic, especially if you are craving a bit of air conditioning. Fortunately, most of the stores have just that.
Before you embark on your next splashy and thrilling adventure, let's take a moment to explore the dining and shopping options available at Volcano Bay. Feel free to discover them all if you wish!
