Don’t miss a trip to the South’s favourite waterparks, Splashdown, in Poole, Dorset or Splashdown Quaywest, on the sunny English Riviera, Paignton. If you have kids or you’re a big kid at heart, you really should put this on your bucket (and spade) list this summer.
For all the fluming good fun then Splashdown, on Tower Park just outside Poole town centre, is the place to be. Enjoy indoor flumming fun almost all year-round and seasonal slides that make a big splash from late Spring to Autumn.
It’s one of the UK’s best-loved water parks and is waiting to welcome thrill seekers and flume fanatics from near and far! With tumbling tyre rides, body slides and swirling chutes, a visit here will keep tots and especially teens occupied for hours.
Take the plunge down the Mississippi Drifter or drop down The Screamer – it’s called that for a reason you know! Spin right round in the inimitable Infinity with its funky disco lighting and you can choose your sliding tunes, or seek out the Lair of the resident dragon, can you hear the roar? It’s a beast of a ride.
Little ones have their very own interactive SplashZone and toddler pool.
There’s no chance you’ll be bored with a trip to Splashdown, but in case you don’t want the fun to end, Tower Park leisure complex is full of top named restaurants, a Cineworld multiplex cinema, ten-pin bowling and parking is free.
Heading further west and into beautiful Devon and the holiday town of Paignton, near Torquay, you can find the UK’s largest all outdoor waterpark, Splashdown Quaywest.
Open all summer long Splashdown Quaywest makes an even bigger splash on Goodrington Sands in 2024. A huge children’s aqua-playground has been added to the site, designed especially for children under 12 and their families – Shipwreck Island. A mini waterpark within the
waterpark, it has seven slides, a massive tipping bucket and a myriad of sprays and splashes.
It’s tonnes of fun in and out of the water and so close
to the delights of the English Riviera, South Devon’s beautiful bay, and its exciting flumes are right on the beach; a day out for the family that’s hard to beat. Dare you take the plunge from the tower of the Devils’ Drop or spiral and spin through splash tubs before a fast, bumpy finish on the Raging Rapids a 145m long tyre ride? And another recent addition the head-first racer slide, 3Fall, will you be the winner?
For trips you won’t forget and will have you laughing out loud for weeks, possibly years! Why not make a trip to Splashdown Waterparks part of your holiday plans this summer.
