A Full Day of Aquatic Fun at Clarion Resort and Waterpark
Plenty of Orlando area hotels offer a swimming pool, but guests who want to escape the Florida heat for an entire day don’t want to be swimming in circles—which is why the Clarion Resort and Waterpark in Kissimmee, FL is an ideal location for Orlando area visitors as well as local residents looking for a weekend getaway that doesn’t burn up a whole tank of gas.
There’s no need to spend $30 to $40 per person on waterpark tickets when you are staying at the Clarion Resort and Waterpark, Everything that waterpark enthusiasts are looking for is right here at the resort. Mindy O’ is the official mascot of the Clarion Resort and Waterpark, and her 120,000 gallon watery wonderland is just steps away from the hotel rooms and free of charge for all guests.
The Clarion Waterpark has over 50,000 total square feet of waterpark, pools and slides, with six waterpark attractions, three main slides, six kiddy slides, and two pool areas. The most noticeable feature of the waterpark—the slide tower—is designed for children and adults with a minimum height requirement of 44 inches. This 30 ft. high tower has two levels and three body slides with over 20 drops, turns and twists. The Level 1 slide allows guests to rocket down an 18 ft. high DripDrop speed slide with near vertical drop that provides a sensation of falling 35 feet. At Level 2, which is 30 ft. up, the 186 ft. long Blue Hydra slide has 9 twists, turns, and drops, and the 178 ft. long enclosed Purple Scream speed slide has 9 twists, turns and drop—in the dark. All of the slides have exits that enable visitors to run out and try the slide again.
There are plenty of opportunities for younger children to have hours of fun at the Clarion Resort and Waterpark as well. The Mindy O’ Squirt Pond is a 2,137 square foot children’s area with 9000 gallons of sparkling water 6 inches to 18 inches deep, interactive rainfalls and jets shooting over a play structure with four slides and two palm tree raindrops. This area is supervised by certified safety staff. The nearby Kiddie Kove is a 584 square foot Waterpark Interactive Water Feature designed for toddlers and children up to 12 years old. Friendly pelican and frog slides, a zero-depth wet deck and ten spray jets and allow for lots of safe splashing.
And since no waterpark is complete without a lazy river, the 630 ft. Cruisin’ Creek Lazy River has inner tubes, zero depth entry, ladders for exiting, easy to access the entryway and a waterfall effect under its bridges. For those guests who prefer an afternoon by the pool, the Clarion’s 48,000 gallon heated swimming pool designed for guests of all ages with depths ranging from 4 to 8 ft.
