The Grove Resort and Spa in Orlando opened its brand new “Surfari Waterpark” to the public on March 1st. The Grove Resort, a Benchmark Property, is a lush and expansive 106-acre hotel destination that is just minutes from Disneyworld. The new Surfari Waterpark will cement the resort as one of Orlando’s’ top family-centric destinations.
The Surfari Waterpark is a two phased project. Phase 1 includes two water slides, a 700-ft winding lazy river and the FlowRider® Double surf attraction. Phase 2, scheduled to open to the public this spring, will introduce a toddler play area and an on-site restaurant called Longboard Bar & Grill. Rides on the FlowRider are being sold in 30-minute session blocks, or guests can reserve private lessons during their stay. Rental opportunities for groups are also available.
