We visited Volcano Bay as part of the Family Forward Conference, all opinions are my own. Volcano Bay is Universal Orlando's newest park, making it the third as it joins Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure. But this theme park is so different than the other two because it's a full water park with a fun and vibrant polynesian theme. Water is Life. Life is Joy.
