The Lantern Festival was a great event! My daughter and I enjoyed it from the beginning to the end. The event was well organized, the food trucks brought very nice food, good price, and clean environment. The evening was great when we put our lanterns to flow on the water. ๐ฎ What amazing event, and I truly recommend this event to everyone!๐๐
Super awesome! I was in town for a few days and went to check this place out. They were super nice, I booked my lesson online. Brandon was a great coach- the cable was super fun and pretty easy. Iโve been behind a boat a lot, but first time on a cable. Super fun and an easy transition! OWC was awesome and the facility is amazing!!! Will come back!!!
So fun! Worth every penny. I canโt wait to come back as often as I can. My dad loved it too. Really helpful staff.
Awesome place! Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Both staff and guests are willing to give pointers and advice on how to land your next trick or just wakeboarding in general. They also have food, drinks, and smoothies for when you get tired and need a break. Definitely recommended!
More Fun than even Imaged!! Whole Family had a BLAST!!! ... we were a group of new and experienced family members to wakeboarding!! Thank You for the supportive, pleasant, encouraging, staff who were so very helpful!! Plus, even the customers encouraged eachother, it was Wonderful!! We ranged in age from 50+ yrs, to teens, down to youngest at 6 yrs old. All wanted to stay longer when it was time to go!! A day later, the 6 yr old already asking repeatedly to return ... the teen talk excitedly about their experience and are worn out, lol, putting this at the top of their summer list, and even the 50+ full of stories and sharing ... we cant WAIT to RETURN!!
The whole experience was amazing. Friendly staff, amazing riding experience, and the food is incredible. Come check it out and you will be hooked
Outstanding staff was friendly and engaging. The cost was very reasonable and we had a fun day! We will be back soon!
We took our family of 6 here for my our sons 13th birthday and we all had a blast!!!!! If youโre looking for a great time this is the place. The aqua park was definitely worth it. The staff were all friendly and knowledgeable. We canโt wait to come back.
We had a great time for my nephews birthday. The whole family had a blast. I just think they should lower the age limit to 5 years old. My 5 year old wasnโt able to do it even tho he was taller then 3โ7. He was very sad. Other then that everything was great. My 5 year old did practice his back flips on the little beach but he wanted to be with his big brothers. Thatโs the only thing I wish they can change. We want to go again but we will have to wait a year since my little one isnโt 6 ๐.
Orlando Watersports Complex is located in Orlando, Florida, right off Orange Avenue/527. This facility offers opportunities from the beginner to advanced rider of wakeboarding, water skiing, kneeboarding, and wakeskating. OWC is the only park in the United States that includes two main cableways. The beginner/intermediate cable generally runs 18 mph and can be accurately adjusted from 5 to 36 mph to accommodate the level of rider. In the advanced slider park, wakeboarders and wakeskaters are only allowed due to launch ramps, kickers, flat-bars, table-tops, a-frames, barrels, and the newest addition: a funbox. This cable travels at 20 mph and requires that helmets must be worn. An addition of a shorter cable, the Indian Rope, allows the rider to attain up to 35 feet of air helping improve rail skills. On September 23, 2009, a 22-year-old man hospitalized in Florida died from a confirmed case of N. fowleri after having contracted it at the Orlando Watersports Complex.
We took our boys for a 2 hour stretch to play on the water obstacle course. It was reasonably priced and our kids had a blast. The life jackets were in good repair and there was ample seating for those watching. This is a definite must do when in Orlando!
Off the grid.....but on the spot for a perfect fun afternoon. You need to take a break from the classic Orlando theme parks this would be a perfect place to entertain the kids ( and the adults !!)The only negative things about the location is the absence of a restroom. But I guess the fun makes this an acceptable thing ( or not !?!)Anyway, highly recommended !
Been going here since I was a kid, never has disappointed. I have created a lot of memories with long time friends that sadly have moved away now but every time I go I am always reminded of the memories made with them
Just be careful booking a scheduled time if you donโt live in the area. It says they may reschedule you due to weather or mechanical issues, but they rescheduled me simply because the coach wasnโt ready in time. I was unable to wait for my rescheduled time that was 2 hours later, and they wonโt refund you or transfer the credit. So I lost $100 for their error unless I visit again in the next 2 years.
There is no comparison to owc. Best staff, best food, best setup
My kids had a blast here! We paid for 1 hour but ended up staying for 2 hours because they didnโt want to leave! Will return soon!
Was able to stand up after years of trying thanks to the help of the great instructors. Definitely recommend coming here!
OWC is fantastic! Ive been to several cable parks. This one is the best. Great staff, quality rental gear, and very well maintained park. Wonderful!
We only knew of the place because a Festival of Lights event was being held there. Either do the event in Fall or early Spring bc when its a feels like 103ยฐ and theres no shade it got unpleasant. The food trucks that were there did take care of the masses but I think some were out dated (cash only). There wasnt any real beverage carts and the registration tents were at the opposite end of the complex. Not a well put event but when the night came the DJ played the right ambience of music and everyone had lifted spirits.
Decent park. Two areas, a faster one (31 km/h) with lots of jumps (elements) and a slower one (27km/h) with a few jumps on it. Relatively expensive, 20$ extra for a โproโ rental board, other parks itโs the same price for a pro board. If you have your own gear, price is average. Line moved very slow, lots of times the cable machine grab or they took a while to hand it off to the next rider. Had a great time regardless!
Had a great time at OWC today! What a cool place and very friendly staff. Highly recommend going if youโre visiting the area!
Went here with our 7 kids and it was all of our first times in the water wakeboarding. Guys were great and very patient with us teaching us how to do it. Was awesome to see them teach our 5, 7, and 9 year old how to do it. Great place! Great people! Great time! Nice job fellas!
Excellent sport to introduce young people to. Great supportive group . As an educator (classroom) I highly recommend this location!
We were in the area for vacation and stopped at this place. We all had fun and everyone working was very helpful especially with giving the kids pointers to get up on the wake boards. Also, the food was amazing! We had flat bread pizzas and smoothies๐ We would definitely come back in the future and would recommend anyone even if its your first time to try them out!
My kids had the best time! We came from California and they were dying to come to OWC. They were not disappointed! Thank you for all the activities offered. So so fun!!
Great place for kids! Wonderful spot for the whole family. Awesome staff too!
One of the highlights of my FL road trip. Did the Get Up Guarantee and it was great.Quick instruction and away you go. Friendly vibe. It reminded me of how surf spots used to feel.
I had so much fun here with my dad and my cousin, we were tired after 4 hours.Very family friendly they have get up guarantee where they help you one-on-one.The prices of snacks and drinks are a bit pricy but thats to be expected. Definitely recommend checking this place out for first timers
Great place for a hot day. Lockers were unavailable. Iโd recommend bringing a spare key to your car that only opens the doors and leaving your belongings hidden. Had our towels stolen that had our car key wrapped in them.
Had an awesome lesson session for my 10 yr old daughter and myself with Tyler. He was great instructor!! Definitely a one of a kind experience on the cables.
Great boat lesson with Nathan! Will definitely come back here again for more instruction. Great day on the G23
Amazing staff, they are all very helpful!! Really appreciated everything they did to help me improve with wakeboarding. I recommend coming here and bringing your family!
Amazing place. Staff was amazing and accommodating. Steve went above and beyond helping myself and other guests who were first timers learn the ropes. Pun intended. So pumped we came!
So disappointed!I have recently tried to visit the aqua park in Orlando and all I had was hassle!! My friends little brother and sister couldnโt go on the aquapark as my friend wasnโt their parent even tho he was their legal guardian!? Even though a legal guardian is legal by law to be the care giver of those said children in the eyes of the court so why not for this small waterpark!? The staff who work their had disgusting attitudes, when I questioned why they needed their mother as he was legal guardian, her attitude was disrespectful, to then tell me they have this argument all the time with people (I wasnโt arguing and also her tone was out of place)Half a day wasted!
Super fun! Great staff. Ride for 2hrs, 4hrs, or all day. Rental equipment was perfect for our needs. Well worth it. Great family fun.
I Wouldnโt recommend this place at all! The staff is rude! Doesnโt provide enough details up front and also had an issue with me filling out my 13 year olds niece waiver form. I am her legal guardian and I shouldnโt have to keep the documentation to prove it plus I had her pass port and we have the same LAST NAME. Very unprofessional. Donโt waste your MONEY !!
Iโve done it all at OWC. Boat, cable, and aqua park. Enjoy it all. Very laid back facility, but well kept and well run. Safety is always top priority.Two cents: The standard cable is a bit long for beginners (falling on the back is a long hike) and a bit boring for intermediate (again that back stretch is long and had no features while I was there.
Place super well organized, clean everyone super nice and full of knowledge, will try to become a regular price is very affordable and you get way more than you paid for!
Such a fun place and environment to hang with friends. love it here
Super cool instructors and great park to learn on. Perfect for any level rider! Got the Get up package and it was killer.
Great place to go for my birthday. Had fun, was given good tips, good vibes, etc. Will be returning again for sure. Did better than I expected.
Amazing place, amazing staff and I can get on the cable fast and easy
Had so much fun coming here during my vacation to Florida! Great staff and would recommend to anyone!
My girlfriend and I did an hour lesson on the boat. And it was a blast! Nathan our instructor was awesome! If you do book a lesson make sure it is with him. Check it out.
My family & I were on vacation in Florida and decided to try out OWC. The staff was friendly & kind. We chose to do the tubing activity which was when things literally took a โturnโ. Nathan, the driver was too rambunctious when driving the boat and his main goal was to knock us off of the tube. If you have ever gone tubing before, youโd know that you can easily fall off of one without force. He also would drive the boat right up to us when one of us fell off, getting way too close. What if we got sucked underneath? Weโd be decapitated from the boat propellers and/or drown. It was a fun time, but Nathan should take some training courses before getting back out on the water.
Loved this place. Our family of 6, all first time wakeboarders, purchased their get up guarantee lesson and all of us were wakeboarding afterwards. Our younger kids liked the knee board better while the rest of us loved the wakeboarding. All of staff members were kind, helpful and very attentive. The food was excellent. Everything about our experience was superb. We will be back for sure.
If you are looking for a wakeboard cable experience where the staff is friendly and helpful, OWC is the right place. The cable operators are patient and provide helpful tips to help participants successfully stand up on the wakeboard.
Great fun place to hang with friends and wakeboard
It was fun. We did the obstacle course and the tubing. Thank you Brandon that was driving the boat made it a great day!!!
Had a really great time but got swimmers itch shortly after
Tyler was great . . .customer service was awesome. Have to at least try it out if youre in the area.
Instructors were very helpful and encouraging! Great prices and had a blast.
Rude employees, a lot of better places that arenโt so outdated and disrespectful
Good place to learn and hang out with the family everybody the works at these place is super cool thx we had a good time...
So much fun! My preteen son loves this place and what they have to offer
Great time for our boys and the food is amazing!
Very fun! Sometimes the cables stop, but the crew is very helpful and if you fall they will help you get back up and are very respectful
Nothing to say... Just Beautiful โค๏ธ...
Awesome expirence for my first time going. Though when I went today on may 16 in the afternoon the two kids working the standard cable were to busy flirting with one another and vaping to help out some of us and give just an overall good expirence. Otherwise learned alot and will come again, hopefully when theyre not working.
An amazon place!! Sooo much fun, great workers who trully care! Would recommend this place to everyone! Evan got a free sticker!
I love OWC! I came here for my birthday and had such a great time! The staff is extremely helpful and very nice. They helped answer all my questions, and was able to hit my first kicker with their help! ๐ I would definitely recommend this place to ANYONE interested in wakeboarding. Whether youre a beginner who has never been or youre looking to advance on your skill level, this is the place for you!!
The instructors were great, everyone was super helpful, and everything was put together really well! Good for all ages and the day passes are a good way to go. The beginning safety instruction is a great way to get used to the park and learn how to try new things on the course. I recommend wake boarding and asking the instructor each time before you go out in ways to improve.
My wife and I had a great time wakeboarding and the coaching was awesome!The โshopโ was kind of clogged up with teens and workers laying around on the ground and sitting on the countertops. They were just hanging out, but it made it kind of difficult to look around the shop and check everything out. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธI guess it was just difficult to figure out who was working and who wasnโt when everyone was behind the counter and lounging around. When it came time to check-in and get gear it was difficult to make our way to the counter.The wakeboarding was great though! Just skip the shop part on the weekends.
Ive been looking for a cable park to try wakeboarding for the the first time and came across OWC about 5 years ago. Finally made it out and was very impressed with friendly and helpful staff. They really want you to suceeed. Learned how to olly ramps and launch from the dock on the first day. Was so impressed with the service I ended up tipping my coach $20 for his help. Thanks Chase.
First time wakeboarding and it was aweaome!! Staff was super helpful!! Loved it.
Love everything about the park. Staff is awesome and treat everyone with professionalism while super friendly. Amazing value too.
Came 1 time for practice, the rest was history....
Do you actually have to know how to swim ?
My first cable park experience! I am a seasoned skimboarder and skateboarder so I performed as I expected I would (did a couple jumps)....the best part is that my wife and I had signed up for lessons with a get up guarantee and she did great!! Nathan was our instructor and did a great job teaching her! All around good vibes and a good time, even though I hurt my shoulder sending it on the beginner rail haha I will definitely be back!! Everyone running the cables was super helpful with pointers and the locals were great!! 13/10 would recommend!
This place is a blast! Will be back soon! Great place for beginners and experienced riders
Love going here. Lots of fun (and is a great deal if you already have your own gear!) If you donโt have your own gear you can rent and enjoy everything they have to offer!
Working with Shaun Murray was amazing! He got me doing what I was doing to use less energy, and progress me further. 10/10
From the time I stepped foot in the door until the time I left it was an amazing experience. Everyone was friendly, helpful and kind and spreading the stoke as should be. Not all parks have it together like this but OWC DEFINITELY takes the cake I am stoked to call it my home park and stoked to help out in anyway!
Had such an amazing time! Everyone there was super nice, patient, and friendly! The instructors made this journey a dream! 10/10 would recommend โบ๏ธ
The price seems worth it to me. Two cables f__k yes. Also you can choose different sizes on slider boards. I am 230 pounds. So trying a larger board is a dream come for me 147cm. The staff was friendly to me. However some guy ahead of me got upset. Due to the fact they arent accepting cash right now.
I went here for the first time yesterday with my friend and we had a decent time besides how rude the staff was. It all started when i called and asked about pricing, how to get tickets, and anything else i should need. And the women on the phone gave poor information. Upon our arrival the young women with the pink face mask and no shoes was so rude and disrespectful. I needed to refill out the wavier since my friend was 17. I came back with a waiver my mom signed and she accused me of doing it myself. Are you sure you didnt walk around and just fill it out yourself? And we did have a good time wake boarding, the workers down there were super laid back and made us feel welcomed. But I dont plan on returning.
Awesome experience! Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable and helped with my first time. Definitely recommend ๐๐ฝ
I wish to give all 5 stars because the experience is amazing and most of the employees are very friendly and knowledgeable. But there is some lack at the customer service/ check in section!!!!! Unfortunately there is one person that has an awful attitude and lack of any respect to the customers!!! It happened more the ones so I feel like itโs the time to speak up from my standpoint. I love to take my kids OWC but unfortunately due to the unprofessional customer service I have to think twice now:-(((( very sad that this place is loosing customers due to something that is absolutely unrelated to the water sport activities!!!!!
Excellent. Suggest booking a double shift.
We came down from PA for the weekend and really enjoyed it! Definitely coming back soon!
I come out here to wakeskate right when they open on Thursdays to catch the morning butter. And when Iโm the only one riding, I get a free pick up when I fall somewhere further from the dock. Thursday is Ladies Day and ladies age 18+ get a FREE 2hr cable pass any time of the day! Come and shred ladies! --
My 7 year old did the safety class today and the coach was awesome. We will be new regulars.
Awesome place. Excellent staff!!!!!!Wanna have some fun in the sun? This is the place!
Iโve been at OWC for about a month, and itโs seriously addicting. After my third visit, I got a membership, and I come here every week to enjoy awesome events, great food, and some of the best features a wake park can offer.
Nice place but the registration process needs to be more clear. The wait time in line was too long. I preregistered online. They did not state how ONLY a parent can sign waiver or atleast it was not clearly evident. In the waiting area no one was wearing a mask or practicing social distancing and there or no employees monitoring this process at all
Yes yes yes!!! We had a blast, water was cold but its its hot here in florida. Make sure you know how to swim incase you get left behind with the short waves.
Really cool
