Water Parks of Spain

One of the plans that children and adults most enjoy when the first hot days of summer arrive is to go to the water parks. In Spain there is an average of 300 sunny days a year so it is not only a good place to visit on vacation to go sightseeing and learn about the history, culture and gastronomy of the country but also to enjoy a refreshing dip in any of its excellent water parks. Do you want to know which are the best? We'll tell you then!

Warner Beach Park in Madrid

Inaugurated in June 2002, Parque Warner Madrid is one of the most important theme parks in Spain together with Port Aventura and Terra Mítica.

This theme park is divided into five main thematic areas: Hollywood Boulevard, Warner Bros. Studios, DC SuperHeroes World, Old West and Cartoon Village, which are joined by Warner Beach Park.

Parque Warner Beach is unique in Spain for its design and theming with cartoons. It is an aquatic family leisure area within Parque Warner where you can enjoy a refreshing swim during the summer season.

It is home to Malibu Beach, which has large areas of natural sand and a beach full of loungers for sunbathing and tanning. In addition, it has a VIP area, two wave pools (one for children and one for adults) and endless attractions.

The attractions at Parque Warner Beach have three levels of intensity: mild, moderate and intense. The soft attractions are suitable for the little ones as they have small slides, streams, low intensity waves and the famous "water barrel" that empties every so often. Instead, the moderate and intense attractions will be the favorites of those looking for a greater risk in the water. For example, there are water slides full of curves, drops and descents at full speed, giant funnels and giant capsule-type attractions and tsunamis that threaten to knock you off the float.

Regarding the services of Parque Warner Beach, if you forget your towel at home or do not feel like carrying it at the water park store, you can rent towels for 5 euros, leaving a small deposit that will be returned upon delivery. In addition, Parque Warner Beach has lockers where you can store your belongings for the same price.

Likewise, within the Warner Beach Park there are a hundred hammocks distributed throughout the premises for free use for visitors. There are also changing rooms, showers, toilet and a medical service station located next to the Gran Kahuna Restaurant, a restaurant suitable for celiacs where you can have a snack between soaking and soaking.

Siam Park

Located in Costa Adeje in Tenerife, Siam Park is the largest water amusement park in all of Europe today. In addition, Tripadvisor users have established them as the best in the world for their quality and facilities. The fact is that it has a large number of attractions designed for both families and those seeking relaxation or strong emotions.

Being so well regarded among bathers it is usually crowded especially during the summer. Therefore, to avoid queues, we recommend going early to Siam Park to get free lockers and buy a Speedy Pass. There are them in the morning (9-14h) or in the afternoon (14h-18h) and allow you to enter eight attractions and even repeat the one you liked the most.

The most popular is the Tower of Power, a 28-meter high slide with a total of 76 meters of travel that can reach 80 km / h. The end is quite a surprise as the trip ends in a tunnel surrounded by a giant aquarium where you can see sharks, mantas and other types of fish.

In addition, Siam Park has the largest artificial wave in the world: 3 meters of wave to be surfed by the most intrepid or to see it break at your feet on the edge of the white sands of its beach. A good way to start surfing or have fun jumping the waves.

One of the most curious aspects of Siam Park is that it has the largest Thai town outside of Asia, which was built by Thais. Incredible true? And what better way to take a break than to enjoy the exotic views of the park by walking along the Mai Thai River, a tropical river that runs through this theme park with slow and fast sections offering you the best views of it.

As access with food from outside is not allowed, Siam Park has several restaurants and bars to eat quietly, to try oriental food and enjoy a cocktail watching the waterfalls or the sea lions.

A visit to Siam Park doesn't end until you drop by the Thai-style Floating Market for a souvenir. There are all kinds of shops here and you can even give yourself a good massage.

Aqualandia Benidorm

It is the second largest water park in Spain after the Siam Park in Tenerife and it is specially designed for the whole family to experience a water party.

It is worth taking advantage of the visit to spend the whole day there. Aqualandia Benidorm has 12 pools, 17 slides, two different areas of water attractions for children, green areas, free parking, restaurants, shops, and much more.

Tickets can be purchased at the park's ticket offices and also online, where Aqualandia Benidorm offers exclusive discounts along with offers for families.

Along with attractions for all ages, this water park has other services such as restaurants and bars where you can eat hamburgers, pizzas, dogs ... although you can also bring food from home and consume it in the picnic areas distributed throughout Aqualandia Benidorm.

There are also lifeguards at each of the attractions ensuring that everyone complies with the rules and, in the event of an incident, there is a first aid area on the premises. In addition, they have ATMs, several toilet areas and a gift shop where you can buy souvenirs.

Cerceda Aquapark in A Coruña

This water theme park is located in Cerceda, 27 kilometers from A Coruña and 42 from Santiago de Compostela. For those who visit Galicia in summer, it is an option that complements a visit to the spectacular Galician beaches or the city of Compostela.

Aquapark opens its doors every year from June to September for families to have a great time with laughter and dips in the water. In addition, entertaining and educational workshops on caring for the environment are organized.

Some of the most outstanding attractions of Aquapark de Cerceda are the wave pool, the donut slide, the open water tube or the Roaller coaster, a giant V-shaped slide that goes from one end to the other on an inflatable donut. It is the most requested by visitors to the water park.

The park has large green areas where you can sunbathe and enjoy nature. There is also a cafeteria and a kiosk to cool off with a drink or order something to eat.

On the hottest days of summer it is advisable to make a ticket reservation and go early, because the park is one of the most popular destinations for Galician families in summer.
