Daytona Lagoon is a family entertainment center and water park located in Daytona Beach, Florida. Guests can enjoy 12 rides, an 18-hole miniature golf course, and a mega arcade while visiting.

The park was built in 1998 by the Adventure Entertainment Company and opened as Adventure Landing, but it closed in 2002. It reopened again in 2005 as Daytona Lagoon. A United Parks subsidiary purchased the park on August 20, 2016. They spent $2 million on upgrades, which included adding new attractions and better amenities.

Today, families can enjoy everything from the mild Pelican’s Drift lazy river to the more adventurous Blackbeard’s Revenge dark tunnel ride. This park also offers additional fun activities such as go-kart riding and laser tag.

Daytona Lagoon is located within the city of Daytona Beach. Daytona Beach International Airport is only 3.4 miles from the city center.

Visit Daytona Lagoon

At Daytona Lagoon, the dry attractions operate year-round, but the best time to visit is from March through September when the water park is open. Featured attractions that you won't want to miss include the Shaka Halfpipe, Kraken’s Revenge, and the twin slides of Adventure Mountain.

If you don't want to get wet, try a round of laser tag or go for a ride on the go-karts. Little ones will appreciate the bumper cars while your more adventurous family members will want to check out the rock wall and the Sky Maze Rope Course. When planning your visit, watch for special events like Game Night Mondays and the water park’s bonus weekends each fall.

Dining options at Daytona Lagoon include six on-site restaurants. Stroud’s at Daytona Lagoon serves pizza, burgers, and wings. Groove Cove Bar features a full bar, and Mini Melts offers snacks. They’ll host birthday parties when reserved in advance.

Junior admission for those who are 32 to 48 inches tall is $32.99 Monday through Thursday and $39.99 Friday through Sunday. Children under 32 inches are always free.

Family-Friendly Options

Families can rent cabanas for the day starting at $49.99. This provides you with a place to relax while watching the little ones, and they’ll have a place to take a break and get out of the sun. There are several attractions that are suitable for all ages, such as the Treasure Lagoon Wave Pool. Families with younger children will appreciate the Castaway Children’s Play Area. When looking for family-friendly dry attractions, consider the Mega Arcade, miniature golf, or the bumper cars.

How to Make the Most of Your Visit

Check online for operating hours on the day you’re visiting. By showing up at the opening, you can get on the top rides while avoiding long lines. Take a midday break and get a bite to eat at one of the on-site restaurants, like the Wave Grill. Save the lazy river and wave pool for later in the day.

On select days, Daytona Lagoon offers a Mario and Princess Peach meet and greet. This requires a separate ticket, but it includes a pizza buffet lunch and great photo opportunities.
