Wonderful water ski show right behind Mote Aquarium. We attended on Mothers Day. From young kids to older water skiers. It was an absolute delight. The show is free. They do have a concession stand and take donations.

Good ski show talent that is great for the family. Recommend bringing an umbrella for shade or getting there early so you can sit under a tree (those spots fill up fast).

It's really fun to see these kids on skis. A fun and free afternoon for everyone. Catch the mote either before or after.

This group put on an amazing show, as good or better than any of the professional shows I have seen at Sea World. It is free and a beautiful setting. I would recomend it. It is a little hard to find.
