If you’re traveling with young kids, why not show them the sharks at Sea Life Orlando? This popular aquarium is located at 8449 International Drive.

Sea Life is the only aquarium in Florida that offers a 360° ocean tunnel. That means you can watch the animals swim over you. Some animals you’re likely to encounter are sharks, turtles, eels, and more.

When it comes to pricing, Sea Life doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. In fact, it’s relatively cheap. For 1 adult, it only costs $34.99. Not only does this ticket include entry, but also a digital photo pass.

Outdoor Activities For The Brave

Just because it’s raining doesn’t mean you have to go inside. Truth be told, some people enjoy being outside in the rain.

Not us.

But some people.

Here’s where you should go.

Experience Universal Volcanos Bay In The Rain

If you’re trying to get even wetter in the rain, Universal Volcanos Bay is the answer. Located at 6000 Universal Blvd, it’s considered one of the best water parks in the whole of Florida. That’s because it has more than 15k positive reviews.

Can’t get any better than that, right!?

Surprisingly – it does.

The reason we recommend visiting Universal Volcanos Bay when it’s raining is because they use heated water on all their rides. That means you can stay warm when it’s raining outside.

Plus, who doesn’t love water parks in the rain?

Frequently Asked Questions

What Should I Wear In Orlando When It Rains?

To stay dry in Orlando when it rains, a raincoat or poncho is essential. We also recommend quick-dry clothing and waterproof shoe covers.

If you don’t have any shoe covers on hand, you can tie up a small carrier bag and put that over your shoes.

Now that you’ve got your clothing sorted, you also need to worry about other personal belongings. If you’re staying outside in the Orlando rain, don’t forget to bring some ziplock bags with you.

These will protect your electronic equipment such as phones, laptops, and tablets. Unless you’re wearing waterproof clothing, these items will get damaged in your pocket.

And it’s not like we can always be prepared for heavy rain, right!? Sometimes it comes out of nowhere!
