Daytona Lagoon Water Park
Daytona Lagoon Water Park, located in the heart of Daytona Beach, Florida, is a popular family entertainment destination featuring seasonal water attractions and a year-round family entertainment center.

Since opening in 2005, Daytona Lagoon has become a go-to spot for both visitors and locals looking for a mix of water park fun and classic family activities. Whether you are planning a full day with the kids, a casual stop near the beach, or a group celebration, it offers a flexible mix of attractions for a wide range of ages.
Water Park Attractions
The water park is the centerpiece of Daytona Lagoon, with a lineup of slides, pools, and interactive play areas. Water park operations are seasonal, and hours and attraction availability can vary by date, weather, and maintenance schedules.
1. Water Slides: Daytona Lagoon is known for its collection of slides designed for both thrill-seekers and casual riders. Signature attractions may include body slides, mat racers, and tube slides with a mix of drops, turns, and splashdown finishes.
- Kraken’s Conquest: This high-energy slide attraction is built for guests looking for a faster, more adventurous ride experience.
- Blackbeard’s Revenge: A racing-style slide where riders can speed side-by-side toward the finish.
- Poseidon’s Pass: A twisting tube-slide experience that adds speed, curves, and splash-filled fun.
2. Pelican’s Drift Lazy River: Guests who prefer a slower pace can float along the lazy river and relax between more active attractions. It is a good option for families and anyone looking to cool off without the intensity of the larger slides.
3. Castaway Bay Wave Pool: The wave pool gives visitors a beach-style water experience inside the park, with rolling waves and a broad area for splashing, floating, and family fun.
