Clarion Resort and Waterpark Location an Advantage for Busy Travelers
Just 15 minutes away of the Orlando International Airport, the Clarion Resort and Waterpark in Kissimmee, FL has three things that Orlando area visitors are looking for: location, location, location. Set apart from the crowded tourist areas while being easily accessible to all of the main attractions, the Clarion Resort is a vacation destination in and of itself, with a full-fledged water park for hotel guests.
All of these theme parks and attractions are less than a half hour drive from the Clarion Resort and Waterpark:
Area attractions:
- Walt Disney World Resort: No trip to Orlando is complete without trip to Disney, and the Clarion Resort and Waterpark is just a short drive away from all of the Disney theme parks—Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The Walt Disney World Resort also includes the dining and entertainment options at Downtown Disney as well as Disney’s own water parks, Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach.
- Universal Orlando Resort: Take a stroll through Universal CityWalk, and then decide on which Universal theme park to visit. Will it be Universal Studios or Islands of Adventure? Both parks guarantee visitors enough thrill rides to give everybody bragging rights, and there are tickets available to visit both parks in one day, which are conveniently located next to each other.
- SeaWorld/Discovery Cove/Aquatica: Shamu the killer whale’s performances at SeaWorld’s Believe show are a highlight of any visit to this popular theme park. Nearby, visitors can swim with the dolphins at Discovery Cove, or explore SeaWorld’s newest sister theme park, Aquatica, which combines the thrills of a water park experience with the marine animals that SeaWorld is known for.
- Gatorland: Only 10 minutes away from the Clarion Resort and Waterpark, Gatorland offers visitors a taste of Old Florida. This 110-acre theme park and wildlife preserve has been privately owned and operated since 1949, and there are plenty of modern exhibits to interest visitors of all ages.
- Arabian Nights Dinner Show: Dinner shows are great options for families with children who might get a little impatient in a regular restaurant waiting for their meal top be served. With the audience seated in the world’s largest indoor equestrian arena for a permanent show, Arabian Nights serves up spectacular performances while the audience enjoys a hearty meal.
- Medieval Times Dinner Show and Tournament: Another Kissimmee attraction with stadium seating, Medieval Times transports guests to the 11th century, when royalty reigned supreme and knights jousted on horseback. Medieval Times strives to make the weaponry and costumes as historically accurate as possible, and the storylines change every few years.
- Pirates Dinner Adventure: There are no horses on the high seas, but there is plenty of music and daring acrobatics at this rousing dinner theater that will also keep audience members of all ages entertained and well-fed. Younger guests might even be lucky enough to participate in the show.
The Clarion Resort is an ideal jumping off point for a number of Orlando area attractions, from world-famous theme parks and unique water parks to Old Florida attractions and spectacular dinner theater performances. By making it possible for guests to enjoy the best that Orlando has to offer, the Clarion Waterpark combines the amenities that resort guests want with the location that Orlando visitors need.
