Adventure island is without a doubt a fun place to visit, but, when you are a tourist, their policies and actions towards dealing with bad weather can ruin anyone's vacation experience. Recently my family from out of state came to adventure island. There were some afternoon rainstorms predicted on the weather but we were cognasent of them and planned to eat lunch during the storm. However, we didn't count on them deciding to close the park after the storm passed even with clear skys. To give more reason for them to stay open, Adventure Island's counterpart park, Busch Gardens, reopened imidately once the storm passed. Because Adventure Island closed four hours early for no good reason our time at the water park was horrible and we won't be going back anytime soon. From experience, skip Adventure Island on your vacation plan if there is any chance of rain, not only to avoid getting kicked out of the park early but also to avoid getting your children's hopes up and then terribly disappointing.
