Safety is Aquatica's top concern, therefore, all guests under 48" are required to wear life vests on most attractions. The park provides United States Coast Guard (USCG) Type III life vests in a variety of sizes and Type II for infants free of charge throughout the park. Only USCG Type II or III life vests may be worn; floatation devices such as noodles, swimmies, puddle jumpers, in-suit floatation devices, personal swim rings/floats and boogie boards are not permitted.
Personal life vests that are in good condition and clearly marked approved by the USCG - type II, III and V may be worn at Aquatica if approved and tagged by park staff. Aquatica’s information counter ambassador can also provide you with a colored wristband to easily identify which rides they meet the height requirements for.
