Rapids Water Park
Grab some Dippin' Dots, an inner tube and float down the lazy river for ultimate cool down at Rapids Water Park. Thrill seekers can cool off at any of the 42 water slides from Big Thunder with a 45-degree drop to the adrenaline-pumping Brain Drain with a 70-foot drop.

Fire & Ice Bar
The Fire & Ice Bar is worth the drive to Miami. It's literally a 100,000-pound bar made of ice with the temperature set at 23 degrees. Guests get a faux fur coat and gloves upon entering for a 45 minute drinking sesh. Adults 21+ can find out more here.

Sailfish Splash Waterpark
Sailfish Splash Waterpark in Stuart is a great way to spend the day with your kids or grandkids this summer. The publicly owned waterpark was first established in 2010 and has since become a beloved part of the Stuart community’s character.
