This is Universal’s water theme park and the third theme park at Universal Orlando Resort. Here you will find water based attractions ranging from kid-friendly to high level thrills. There are plenty of things to enjoy, tons of seating and relaxation, and great food – even if you aren’t a huge water fan.
Some notes about Volcano Bay, specifically for plus-size guests.
There is a ton of sand, which means you will be walking on ground that is not flat. Even if you are not a fan of water shoes, they may serve you well if you are prone to foot injuries or stress fractures.
There are also a ton of stairs. You have to trek several flights to get to the slides. But in most cases you won’t be hauling rafts as there are conveyor belts doing the work for you.
