Shade at Aquatica??

[hbisch]

Considering a day trip to take advantage of the $8 admission to Aquatica -

I'm Casper the Ghost pale and would need to be able to get out of the sun during the day. Are there lounge chairs that stay in shade all day? (My plan is to be parked and at the gates prior to opening, so I would be able to stake out a spot early.) Or would I be better off with a cabana and guaranteed shade? Since the ticket is only $8 it makes a $49 cabana at least a little bit more reasonable - and I'm not against spending that money if it would make my day more enjoyable... but is it necessary??

There are an abundance of chairs with large umbrellas available on a first come, first served basis:



That said, the cabanas are lovely (definitely not "necessary", but a fantastic and worthwhile splurge). And for $49? I would book one in a heartbeat.

Because with a cabana, you will get your private space to relax in (with your own fridge), a large locker, 12 bottles of Dasani water, rental towels, and a discount on your in-park purchases. Makes the $49 a fabulous deal!

There are also lounge chairs in the area of Loggerhead Land and Tassie's Twisters. There are some trees and also umbrellas there. It is a concrete area, not sand, but if for some reason you can't get the ones on the beach or prefer not to be in sand, this area would be an option.
