10 Best Water Parks in Miami

Spring is the last true period of pleasant weather before the scorching heat of summer. A usually mild climate can produce some extremely stunning days, great for anyone visiting Miami for the beach, fishing, or other outdoor activities.

While our year-round weather makes it possible to visit one of Miami’s beaches almost any day of the year, most visitors overlook the possibility of rain. Not to mention that there’s a thing called hurricane season, which brings even bigger storms to these parts.

Another consideration when visiting Miami is the number of tourists who sometimes are very many causing traffic and making it impossible to get a room at one of the best South Beach Hotels.

1. Tidal Cove

Among thousands of square feet of space, the 60-foot tower with seven water slides, a lazy river, a 4,000-square-foot kids pool, a VIP adult pool area is what is  being called the first-ever FlowRider Triple surf simulation pool in the entire country.

What is more amazing is the huge new addition to Aventura’s JW Marriott Miami Turn berry Resort & Spa is less a pool and, as the name implies, is more of a water park. 

Guests of the resort  have access to it all but locals can get in to with the purchase of a day pass, which will cost $75 Monday through Thursday and $105 Friday through Sunday.

The park boasts two restaurants namely the casual Surf House Bar & Grill, a two-leveler coastal-inspired restaurant; and the fast-casual Freestyle, featuring a wide variety of grab-and-go items. There are fruit bowls and pastries to New York-style pizza and gelato available at Fast -casual freestyle. 

2. Rapids Water Park

Every true South Florida kid has a memory of Rapids Water Park. The sprawling park has been a favorite birthday party spot for thousands and thousands of kids thanks to its selection of insane water slides and epic lazy river. The commute (an hour and a half from Miami) is far from convenient, but folks keep flocking to Rapids despite the distance, which speaks to the park’s quality. 

3.Venetian Pool

Created in 1923 from a naturally occurring coral rock quarry, the 820,000-gallon pool is fed by a fresh-water spring. It’s surrounded by palm trees, shady fields and beautiful porticos, it’s a lushly fabulous way to beat the Miami heat.

It’s a good pool for everyone three years of age and older. It operates from March through to November every year.

4.Surfside Community Center

The aquatics area here is far from your average neighborhood pool, boasting zero-depth entry. There is a kids play area known as The Tot Lot. There are multiple waterslides as well as a facility for recreational and lap swimming.

The water park, however, is limited to residents and their guests

5. Zoo Miami 

The zoo in town offers playground-esque water attractions. The joy of being in one of the  giant spray fountains is amazing. There are whale tail waterfall and overflowing buckets.

It’s a great place for children entertaining, to stomp around and get totally soaked while the parents or guardians hang back in the shady alcoves.

6. Grapeland Water Park

This is a public attraction owned and operated by the city that offers a lazy river, a few playground areas, a pirate-themed area and a shipwreck water playground.

There are wade pools for toddlers and large recreational pools for more experienced swimmers, plus splashy slides for thrill-seekers. Note: the park opens on weekends during the summer season.

7. McDonald Water Park

Perfect for little ones, Pinecrest Gardens’ mini splash pad offers water features galore and shaded benches for parents who chaperone.

When the water play is tapped out, take a stroll through the gorgeous gardens and then head to the snack bar.

Therefore, Miami is a beautiful place to visit. In particular, during summer when there are no hurricane or a scare of it.
