Slide into the laughter and happiness of childhood at Island H2O Waterpark’s two dedicated kids’ areas: Pelican’s Paradise and Candy Stripe Cove. Connect as a family and build memories as delightful as a dip into the cool waters and as refreshing as the splashing of little feet. Here’s a dive into what makes these spots a must-visit for your next fun-filled outing with friends and family.
Pelican’s Paradise: A Tiny Adventurer’s Oasis
This play area is designed for the youngest thrill seekers. They can frolic in the shallow pools as playful oversized pelicans and tropical palms look from overhead. The gentle sprays and splashes from the tipping buckets bring giggles and smiles as little ones climb and slide. Parents can relax from nearby shaded benches of this vibrant splash zone while the kids can climb on themed structures designed just for them or zip down pint sized slides with just enough twists to make ‘em laugh. Pelican’s Paradise carefully considers its youngest guests with attentive lifeguards in a “wadeable” haven where the kids can be free to explore and play.
Candy Stripe Cove: A Whirl of Color and Play
Across the park, the small ones enter an interactive water playland at Candy Stripe Cove. Candy colored slides and bubbling fountains are perfect magnets for the little ones and the red and white striped towers call to the kids to climb and race down the slides. And, if that isn’t enticement enough for their imaginations, the water cannons fire playful streams, turning the area into a battleground of friendly splash wars under the watchful eyes of parents. The interactive nature of the playland help kids with their teamwork by pairing them up to navigate obstacle courses or take turns triggering water spouts. The whole family can relax in the nearby cabanas with parents and older siblings cheering from the sidelines or jumping into the splash zone for a family water fight. The cove’s compact layout ensures parents can keep watch and not miss one second of the tropical carnival atmosphere.
Family Fun Beyond the Splash Zones
While the dedicated kids’ areas at Island H2O Waterpark will bring out the giggles and smiles, there is even more fun for the family! When the games and splashing get everyone hungry, Megabytes is there with juicy burgers and frosty slushies (perfect in the Florida sun!) Plus, the waterpark hosts Family Foam Parties during select months where foam cannons literally blanket the whole area in fluffy bubbles. And did you know, Margaritaville Resort Orlando guests receive complimentary admission to the waterpark through October 26, 2025? (And the waterpark is within walking distance of Margaritaville Resort Orlando!)
A Splash-Filled Family Escape
Island H2O Waterpark’s Pelican’s Paradise and Candy Stripe Cove thrill the small ones with laughter and games while keeping all safe with shallow areas and kid-friendly slides. The kids’ areas are centrally located so the whole family can build memories through the splashes and watery-fun of the entire Island H2O Waterpark.
