Vacations travel

Located next to the Golf course in Costa Teguise
you will find Lanzarote’s one and only Aqua Park
which is open every day from 10.00 to 18:00. Most hotels offer excursions to the Aquapark (with Ticket prices including coach transfers). If you are staying in a private villa and have hired a car
it’s relatively easy to find. Even though there are no sign posts as such
the slides can be seen from a distance due to the low lying land in the area. We were 2 adults and 2 children. Admission cost €20 per adult + €15 per child. €2 Euros per locker
€2.50 for a sunbed
it was not the cheapest excursion
so be prepared.

The Aquapark offers a wide range of slides and pools and is an ideal day out for families of all ages. It's fun for all the family and makes for an unforgettable day out
but go prepared.

My two boys were 6 and 11 respectively when we went there and age/size can be a problem
so make sure you check the rules on each ride before joining the queues as they will not let small children ride on the white knuckle slides (eg ‘kamikaze’ and perhaps ‘spiral’ depending on height). Both my lads enjoyed the ‘fast-river’ and the eldest was brave enough to try the kamikaze (but only once !). The youngest will have to wait a few years. There were gentler options like the children's pool
and play area (free) and on the day we went there was a bouncy castle
trampolines and paddle boats (extra charges apply for these).

There is also a shop and a restaurant. We had packed lunches
but having inspected the menu
we found the prices reasonable
so will probably eat there next time.

None of the pools are heated
so again choose your day. If its cloudy or overcast
it will probably be be cold in the water too. We were fortunate as the weather turned in the afternoon and it was very hot
so we were pleased the water was cold.

The life-guards were fewer than I had expected but they did seem to be very aware an at least as good as anything I’ve seen in the uk. There were also limited inflatable rings on some of the rides
perhaps because people had taken them into the pool or kept them by their sunbeds !.

Conclusion : The waterpark was a great day out. Yes
the water is cool
perhaps even too cold
but so is the water everywhere (unless you’ve got a heated pool of course). There were not too many people in the waterpark on the day we went
which meant few queues
but I’d guess this changes in the six weeks school holidays !
