Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park.

At Typhoon Lagoon you will find water fun for all the family, with a white sandy beach for sunbathing or relaxing on a hammock. There are fun water slides, a tube ride that lasts 45 minutes travelling through a rainforest and caves. Raft over rapids, try the ‘Crush ‘n’ Gusher’ water coaster with its twists and turns. You can also swim with sharks and tropical fish [with provided equipment and training], there is a surf pool where big waves come every 90 seconds and for thrill seekers you can plunge 65metres down ‘Mount Mayday’! Not forgetting the smaller members of the family who can have fun with water slides and activities at ‘Ketchakiddee Creek’.

The water park is situated at Walt Disney World Florida close to the Downtown Disney area.
