Whether you're a child or an adult looking for a fun family outing, you're bound to find it at Adventure Island in the Tampa area, Florida. This water park boasts over thirty rides, attractions, and exhibits that will keep you entertained and occupied all day long. Here are some things you should know before you go:

First, you'll want to know that there are height restrictions on rides, so you'll want to check those before you go. There are also many lifeguards on staff and a first aid station, so no matter what, you'll never be alone! You can wear swimsuits and T-shirts on the rides, but you'll need to wear a bathing suit to play on the body flumes. The park also doesn't allow coolers larger than 16 quarts, and they have designated areas for smoking.

The park is open daily during the summer months, except for December and January. For the rest of the year, the park remains closed, but from May to August, it opens daily and closes between five and seven p.m. Visitors can rent Chickee Huts or Cabanas at the wave pool. During the winter months, however, the water park is closed on Sundays.

Adventure Island is popular among families with young children, but there's something for everyone here. There are plenty of pools, slides, rides, and volleyball court areas for adults as well. The park's first ride, Runaway Rapids, was closed for renovations during the year 2005. In 1980, it was the second attraction at the park and shared the tower with Gulf Scream. It stood seventy-five feet high and provided a panoramic view of the Tampa Bay area. After the closure of the Gulf Scream, the park installed the Colossal Curl, which is one of its newest rides.

The Caribbean Beach Waterpark has a tropical-themed atmosphere. There are adventure slides, cascading waterfalls, and a 17,000-square-foot wave pool. There are also several other attractions for the entire family. The Caribbean Beach Waterpark also has cabanas and lounge chairs for visitors to relax. Guests can also purchase a Caribbean Coin wristband for a discounted admission price. At the end of the day, unused Caribbean Coin balances are returned to the guests' accounts.

Food is a key part of an adventure on Adventure Island. Besides the delicious ice cream and frozen cocktails, the water park has many other tasty options. Visitors can also enjoy barbecue, salads, and traditional American food as well as Mexican cuisine. Want to learn history? A visit to American Victory Ship and Museum will greatly pay.
