Fodor's Expert Review Aquaventure

From near-vertical slides that plunge through shark tanks to a quarter-mile-long lazy-river ride, this 141-acre water park has something to suit every kind of thrill seeker. Spend the day going from ride to ride, or pick the perfect chair and umbrella on the white sand of three unique but beautiful beaches or any of the 11 swimming pools to unwind. Three pools are designed especially for the youngest of guests, including Splashers, a Mayan-themed water playground. In 2015, Atlantis implemented a policy restricting Aquaventure and beach day passes to local residents and cruise visitors and others affiliated with Atlantis partners, so if you want to play, you're going to have to stay on-property for at least one night.
