This huge and constantly expanding water park has over 40 water attractions for sliding, splashing or just basking in the sun and, for night-time fun, miniature golf, go-kart tracks and several thrill rides.
A place of tranquility and contemplation, this park is part of the estate owned by lumber baron William Henry Wesley in the 1800s. This restored mansion, surrounded by flowering trees and stately oaks, features family heirlooms, antiques, and the second largest collection of Louis XVI furniture in the United States.
Instituted in 1955, this facility simultaneously educates and entertains visitors while promoting the welfare of marine life. Some venues feature performances by dolphins and sea lions; the Living Sea exhibit showcases turtles, sharks, eels and other animals, giving guests insight into their behavior and interaction.
