How to Stay Cool at Universal this Summer

While there’s no shortage of things to do during a summer vacation in Central Florida, it’s important to find some ways to keep cool, especially in the hot afternoons. When you book a Kissimmee vacation villa here at FantasyWorld Resort, you’ll have plenty of ways to keep cool, including our own onsite water park. If a summer trip to Universal Orlando is part of your plans, you’ll find a multitude of ways to keep cool while enjoying all the fun and excitement the parks have to offer. Indoors and out, these are some of the best activities to help you beat the heat.

One of the best ways to cool off and get out of the blazing sun is to take in one of Universal Orlando’s many indoor – and air-conditioned – attractions. The Bourne Stuntacular and Universal Orlando’s Horror Make-Up Show are great options for cooling off and taking a breather, while still being thoroughly entertained. Other options include Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, Shrek 4-D, The Simpsons Ride, The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man and more, providing entertaining shows and cool rides.

A fun way to combine thrills and chills – or at least a quick cool down – are the Universal Orlando water rides. At Universal’s Islands of Adventure, Dudley Do-Right’s Ripsaw Falls offers a thrilling log flume experience with plenty of splashes, while Jurassic Park River Adventure combines a gentle boat ride with a dramatic drop that leaves riders soaked. Popeye & Bluto’s Bilge-Rat Barges ensure everyone gets drenched as you navigate the white-water rapids.

While the rides offer refreshment amid the regular attractions, Universal’s Volcano Bay is a water park destination all on its own. With its stunning tropical setting and towering Krakatau volcano, Volcano Bay offers an array of water slides, a lazy river, and a wave pool. Whether you’re racing down the Ko’okiri Body Plunge or floating along the serene Kopiko Wai Winding River, Volcano Bay is a fun way to beat the heat.

For a faster cool-down option, enjoy some of the cool treats on offer. Universal Orlando has plenty of spots to indulge in ice cream, frozen drinks, and other refreshments. The iconic Butterbeer at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter comes in several forms, and there are plenty of other flavors of ice cream and more that are perfect for a sweet and chilly treat.

No matter what option you choose to cool off, don’t forget to stay hydrated. Many Coke Freestyle machines can be found across the parks offering a free water option for water bottle refills.

Whether you’re plunging into water rides, exploring Volcano Bay, or enjoying air-conditioned adventures, there are plenty of options to make your summer visit both refreshing and memorable. Cap it all off with a Kissimmee vacation villa at FantasyWorld Resort and you’ll never be short of cool entertainment.
