Are you tired of swimming at the beach or in the pool of your vacation home? Then you should head for the Sunsplash Family Waterpark. With its exciting slides and child-friendly attractions, the park is perfectly suited for visitors of all ages. Sunsplash is located in central Cape Coral, right next to State Road 78. Guests based in Fort Myers can reach the park in just 20 minutes by car.
SUNSPLASH FAMILY WATERPARK: ATTRACTIONS
With an area of 14 acres, Sunsplash is Southwest Florida’s biggest waterpark. A wide variety of attractions will keep you and your kids busy for hours. For a little warm-up, start with the relatively tame X-Celerator and the Drop Slides. Afterwards, it is time to brace yourself for the 30 feet tall Cape Fear where guests plunge down in total darkness. If you dare, try out the aptly named Terror Tube: Here, thrill-seekers slide down a dark tunnel before being dropped almost vertically into the water. 30 seconds of exciting fun and fast turns await you at the Electric Slide, one of Florida’s longest waterslides.
Children can test their balancing skills at the Sand Dollar Walk, an obstacle course with swimming platforms. If you want to relax, just float around in the lazy river, go for a swim in the pool or enjoy a gentle shower under the Rain Tree. Sunsplash also features a Family Pool complete with fine sand and beach chairs.
The park’s newest addition is Pirate’s Cove, a play area with slides, fountains and water guns for the little guests. Young children can train for the big slides at the Pro Racers, and if you want to stay fit during your vacation, the beach volleyball fields are perfect for you.
Safety standards can only be described as excellent. Life Guards patrol every part of the park – no wonder that Sunsplash has received the highest rating from Starfish Aquatics Institute, an independent auditor of waterparks. And even if you stub your toe on a slide – the park houses four first aid stations.
