Splash Pad & Play: Kid-Friendly Water Fun at Orlando International Drive North Hotel

Planning an Orlando getaway with little ones? The Orlando International Drive North Hotel splash pad makes it easy to cool off, recharge, and keep the fun going—without leaving the property. Located just five minutes from Universal Orlando Resort, this family-friendly hub combines convenient park access with on-site play, complimentary breakfast, and relaxed evening activities.

Why Families Love the Splash Pad

A splash pad offers all the excitement of water play with spray features and space to move—perfect for quick cooldowns and wiggle time between park adventures. Because splash pads focus on spray-and-play rather than deep water, they’re an easy, low‑stress way for kids to have fun while parents unwind nearby.

At Orlando International Drive North Hotel, the splash pad sits alongside other open-air amenities, so families can turn a short water break into a full afternoon of outdoor fun.

What is a splash pad?

• A shallow, spray-based water play area designed for kids
• Great for short, supervised play sessions
• Ideal for cooling off before or after theme park time
