While it’s snow boots, heavy coats and scraping ice off of cars for everyone else, us Floridians are still enjoying that warm sunny weather. Yes, there’s the occasional cold front that sneaks in, but overall our wintertime makes for the perfect time to visit the parks, especially Universal’s Volcano Bay.

I know what you’re thinking: “A water park during winter? You can’t be serious.” But I am. Let me convince you with these 9 reasons your clients should go to Volcano Bay now.

  1. All the Water is HEATED

    The weather may be cooler, but the water is still warm. The pools, rivers and rides all have water heated to over 80 degrees.

    Tip: I know it’s still chilly when you get out of the water. Have a towel ready to snuggle in to when you get out, and a change of warm clothes when you finish your day.

  2. No Rush to Ride

    The thought of cold weather tends to chase people away, making it less crowded for your clients. No crowds mean shorter wait times, so they can ride every ride before lunchtime. Keep an eye out for ride signs that say “Ride Now” and they can get on right away.

  3. Enjoy Awesome Food and Fun Bars

    One of my favorite reasons to go to Volcano Bay is to kick back and relax with a fruity drink and a plate of hot food. A couple of my favorite foodie finds: the longboard pizzas, Jerk mac & cheese and Waturi Fusion Ice Cream.

  4. Get that Perfect Spot on the Beach

    Because it isn’t as busy, no need to hunt for a free chair on the beach. Your clients can grab the perfect spot in the sun and relax the day away.

    Tip: There are a couple of great beach locations in the back of the park right to the rivers, restaurants and lockers. Prime locations for ultimate relaxation.

  5. Relax at Your Own Pace with TapuTapu

    Your clients’ TapuTapu wearables are the key to reducing stress during their visit. TapuTapu helps hold their place in line for rides while they relax in the pools or enjoy food and drinks. Your clients can also sync their credit card ahead of time, so no need for them to carry their wallets around.

  6. Staycation in Paradise

    Escape the holiday crowds and enjoy a staycation at Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort. Here, you get Early Park Admission into Volcano Bay, a private walkway from the hotel directly to the park and the chance to book rooms with a view of the volcano.

  7. The Photo Envy Will Be Real

    While everyone else is posting pictures of snow storms and ice, your clients will be sharing pics from a sandy beach with an umbrella drink.

  8. Explore the Hidden Gems

    Now is the perfect time to discover the hidden secrets of Volcano Bay. See if your clients can find the little waterfall cove nestled at the base of the volcano. Or explore the inside of the volcano and interact with Vol – the spirit of Volcano Bay.
