When you are away from the idyllic beaches and cosy climates during summer, there are several water parks in Miami you can visit to cool off amidst the heat.
Take a break from enjoying the animal displays at Jungle Island and visit the amusing beach destination located in Biscayne Bay. One can jump on the trampoline and try out the fun obstacles at Miami's only private beach. With slides and swings, cliffs and action towers, the fun oasis of Parrot Cove is the perfect alternative to the savings-minded traveller.
Shaded by lush palm trees, the 820,000 gallons of the Venetian Pool is made up of water from a fresh spring. A wonderful means to deal with the hot weather, the Venetian Pool is within easy reach of accommodation options such as COMO Metropolitan Miami Beach. An aquatic facility unlike any other in Miami, the surrounding of the Venetian Pool is adorned with a scenic backdrop of two waterfalls, loggias, porticos and a signature bridge.
With an amusing Pirate Plunge and a water playground with a shipwreck for the little ones, the Grapeland Water Park is a public attraction that also has recreational pools for experienced swimmers and wade pools for kids. Easily accessed from most South Beach Miami hotel options, the Grapeland Water Park is for those looking for a solution for the sweltering heat rather than aquatic excitement.
The ideal way to distract the kids from the heat, Zoo Miami offers the ultimate day out in the summer. From the Sambaru Giraffe Feeding Station, Sami Family Amphitheatre and Kaziranga Camp Rhino Encounter to water play, Zoo Miami is the ideal summer destination. The Ocean Voyage play area of Playworld Playground, Fiesta Fountain at the Amazon & Beyond Village Plaza for your little ones and refreshing and cool misting stations for the adults are located throughout the zoo.
Located in the neighbouring county of Broward, Paradise Cove Water Park is the ultimate aquatic fun oasis you are craving for in the summer. With four water slides five storeys tall, a 12-inch deep pool for kids, a 410-foot tube line and a wade pool with entertaining fountains, Paradise Cover Water Park is the ideal summer visit.
Perfect for the experienced swimmers, taking part in the Gulliver Summer Swimming meets is a great way to rush through the scalding summers. Join Miami Shores Aquatics to learn from professionals and swim with the best of facilities in town. With added competition in the Gulliver Summer Swimming meets, it is the ideal way to spice up your sweltering summers in Miami.
An activity pool that has a slide, a duo of 30-feet water slides, a zero-depth-entry swimming pool with concession stands and added excitement for that ideal summer that craves for cooling splashes of water, the Bucky Dent Water Park is located in Hialeah right in Florida.
