Short story: this is a water park. That means it is super fun. It also means that it is kind of gross.
Longer story...
This is a great water park, in terms of attractions, for people of all ages. There is a lazy river, two different sections for little kids, and some massive, awesome slides for older kids.
Here are some things that bother me...
- Smoking. I know. This is technically Europe. I should expect smoking everywhere. Well, this is indeed the case. This children's paradise is constantly tainted with the scent of cigarettes. I even walked by a cigarette butt put out on the top of a cheeseburger.
- Lifeguards. It is great that they exist. I am not sure what they actually do, though. My son got stuck on one of the slides, and they ordered other kids to start going down... Good thing the other kids got stuck too!
- Cleanliness. I know that water parks are, by definition, kind of gross... That being said, there were a lot of leaves in the pool. I saw a few band aids. Some of the water features were a bit rusty. It would be great to see this place spruced up a bit.
Chairs / Towels. Want a chair? You pay for that chair I thought our expensive admission might include a place to sit. Nope. Need a towel? The gift shop will sell you one. Otherwise, bring your own.
Honestly, we had a great time. We would come back. Limiting smoking to a specific section, hiring lucid lifeguards, and cleaning up the place would go a long way in improving the other wise great park! read more
