Water Park Fun...Aquatica SeaWorld's Waterpark in Chula Vista
Aquatica SeaWorld's WaterparkTM is making a big splash with a birthday bash this summer
Aquatica is like no other waterpark, with fun for everyone: From serene to extreme, experiences range from lounging on sandy beaches and splashing and playing in heated pools to journeying down high-speed water slides, all amongst a lushly landscaped, South Seas-themed, resort-style environment. For those who like life in the fast lane, the Taumata Racer high-speed water slide zooms riders down a 375-foot slide, around a 180-degree swooping turn, and in and out of tunnels before racing them across a finish line. Among dozens of other slides and attractions are Big Surf Shores, one of the largest wave pools in Southern California; HooRoo Run®, which takes riders down an 80-foot descent; and several children's attractions including Loggerhead Lane and Slippity Dippity. Caribbean flamingos and freshwater turtles round out the Aquatica experience, as only SeaWorld can. Aquatica is making a big splash this summer, celebrating its fifth birthday with a Fiesta Aquatica Beach Party Celebration. Every day through Sept. 3, live DJs spin interactive dance tunes and today's top hits along with some throwback jams from 3 p.m. to park close.
