ORLANDO, Fla. — As the temps heat up, one Central Florida splash park is advertising itself as the place to cool down.
“A splash park in Central Florida? I don’t know how you go to a theme park without a place to cool off,” said Gatorland President and CEO Mark McHugh.
He showed Spectrum News new water features, like a massive dumping barrel.
Elsewhere at Gator Gully Splash, he pointed out coconut palm sprayers, frogs that flood and well-placed Adirondack chairs to let the adults lean back.
“Get a cold beverage from our Gator Gully general store and let the kids run off that energy off,” McHugh said.
The 110-acre park started as a roadside attraction and is about stirring up memories of old Florida while showering guests with new experiences.
Now through the end of March, Florida residents get half-off a single day admission ticket to Gatorland. The splash park is included in the price of admission.
