Live the Legend:

But this isn't just story time, it's a chance for guests to jump into the action and flex their super powers by solving puzzles, testing heroic instincts and crafting a personal adventure. But guests should stay alert - and keep a sharp lookout - for any Heroes that might pop in to join the fun.
Dine with Heroes:
Wonder Woman, Batman and Superman join guests for a character dining experience in Hall of Justice Character Dining. An unforgettable dining experience filled with heroic encounters, a diverse menu and lots of surprises, it's more than a meal - it's a mission!
Heroic Hands at Work:
Young guests' creativity takes flight in DC Super Hero Craft Zone, a secret hideaway where guests can showcase their artful skills to create a treasured take-home souvenir.
Riddle Me This:
Guests embark on a puzzle-filled adventure in the Revenge of The Riddler Scavenger Hunt. Using clues in their secret booklet, guests use their greatest detective skills to solve The Riddler's mind-bending puzzles that are scattered throughout Gaylord Palms.
Super Soaked!:
In addition to the excitement of the 3-acre Cypress Springs Water Park, guests can enjoy the DC Super Hero Splash, featuring superhero games, DC trivia, a live DJ, lots of super hero fun facts and specialty Super Hero-inspired beverages - including new ICEE drinks like Amazonian Freeze and Metropolis Chill - to help beat the heat.
