Where to Go on Holiday if You Love Water Parks
If your family enjoys a sunny trip to the water park, plenty of great destinations are easily accessible this summer. You’ll find a mix of relaxing areas for you and your partner, as well as thrilling attractions for the kids.
Below, we’ll explore the top family-friendly water parks to visit in 2025 for a holiday you won’t forget.
Tenerife, Canary Islands – Siam Park
Tenerife holidays are a natural choice for water parks. Siam Park in Costa Adeje, opened in 2008 by Princess of Thailand Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, is renowned for its Thai-themed architecture. It’s home to the most extensive collection of Thai-themed buildings outside the country, with 25 structures including rides, a floating market, and restaurants.
Your family will love the 28-meter-high adrenaline-pumping Tower of Power slide. They can reach up to 80 km/h on the way down before gliding through a giant aquarium full of predatory fish and sting rays. At the Wave Palace, you can paddle on the edges of the 13,500 square metres pool or get stuck in with the world’s largest artificial waves.
Corfu, Greece – Aqualand
Aqualand Corfu is one of Europe‘s largest water parks, featuring 51 slides and pools suitable for the whole family. The waterpark offers over 75,000 square metres of slides, spas, pirate-themed splash parks, and the world’s third-biggest wave pool.
After a day on the water, you’ll be hungry, so head to the park’s Grillhouse for pork and chicken souvlaki, gyros, and pitas. The kids will love Fritland’s hot dogs and chicken nuggets with a side of chips, and you can relax at the bar with a cocktail.
Florida, USA – Universal's Volcano Bay
One of Universal Orlando Resort’s best attractions is Volcano Bay, a tropical-themed water park. The signature volcano is named after Indonesia’s Krakatau and includes an aqua coaster that travels through its heart.
Adrenaline lovers shouldn’t miss the near-vertical 70-degree 125-foot drop of the Ko’okiri Body Plunge. Punga Racers are a favourite that will have your family shoot down four lanes through underwater sea caves. The TapuTapu wristband will allow the kids to activate interactive elements and join virtual lines for rides.
Dubai, UAE – Aquaventure Waterpark
Aquaventure Waterpark at Atlantis The Palm is the world’s largest, with 105 slides, attractions, and private beaches. Visitors can also encounter and swim with Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins and experience sea lions’ playful nature.
