Summer means splashing, slides, and sunshine fun in Florida's water parks. We did the hard yards to find the best family-friendly spots in the Sunshine State.

Florida offers a variety of water parks to escape the summer heat. Both of Walt Disney World's water parks, Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach, are open simultaneously this summer.

Sitting near the I-75 and Collier Boulevard interchange, the 20-acre resort includes a 92,000-square-foot indoor water park with multiple slides, pools and interactive water play zones.
