Water Park Dress Code
What should you not wear to a water park? Most parks have rules against guests wearing anything but bathing suits in the water. Skimpy bathing suits may be against the rules. How should I dress for a water park? Wear light, airy, quick-drying materials that won’t weigh you down. Most parks only allow swimsuits in water. Avoid skimpy suits and suits with metal pieces.
Some water parks allow you to bring your own picnics into the park, but some are more restrictive. However, almost all allow you to bring in one factory-sealed plastic water bottle per person.
Bring money for locker rentals and parking. Places like Universal Orlando offer lockers for around $12-15 per day, and parking is usually at least $30.

Check park rules on outside food and drinks. Stick to essentials and avoid extra stuff to save repeat trips to the car. Drink plenty of water and pack a reusable bottle or hydration pack.
Even indoor parks need sunscreen due to transparent roofs and outdoor areas. Pack any medications or first aid supplies you may need for cuts, bumps, or scrapes.
Clothes should be comfortable for the rides to and from the park and help protect you from sunburn. Most waterparks will require a shirt and shoes outside the admission gates of the main water park area.
When planning a fun day at a water park, consider comfort, practicality, and sun protection. Remember that safety is important when using attractions. Look for swimwear made from durable fabrics that resist tearing and fading.
