30 Years of Thrills

Adventure Landing has continually evolved since opening in 1995, beginning with the iconic Wave Pool in 1996. The park expanded with the Hydro Half Pipe in 1999, followed by the popular Eye of Storm vortex slide in 2001. In 2008, they unveiled Undertow, a high-speed water coaster with powerful jets that propel riders uphill. Most recently, Pirate's Play Village, a multi-level interactive water play structure perfect for the youngest adventurers opened in 2018.

Each enhancement throughout the 30-year history has been designed with guests in mind, ensuring Adventure Landing remains the premier family destination in Jacksonville Beach for generations to come.

The celebration is made possible through support from community partners, including the Cub Scouts, Frosty Cones, Girl Scouts, Scooter's Coffee, Smoothie King, Sports Mania, T-Mobile and more.

“While our opening weekend launches the celebration, the ‘Adventure Lives On — 30 Years Strong’ theme will continue throughout 2025 with special events, promotions and activities designed to honor this milestone year,” added Rick Deutscher, Adventure Landing Jacksonville Beach general manager. “We invite guests to join us not just for opening weekend, but throughout the season as we celebrate three decades of family fun.”
