Tips & Warnings
Evaluate how crowded Atlantis' water attractions are before purchasing a day pass. On the weekends and during vacation season, the water slides can be packed with children and tourists. If you're only there for the day, you may waste a significant portion of your day waiting in an endless line of children for a water slide.
Atlantis' many attractions can get expensive.
