When taking family holidays to any of the Balearics this year, try to make sure you get yourself over to one of these awesome waterparks. There is nothing better than hitting some of the best water featured attractions in the blazing sun and it has to say said it is the most fun way to cool down in the heat.
Aqualand – Magaluf, Mallorca
This park is huge. With more than 15 slides and many other attractions, if you're visiting Mallorca and are in the west of the island you need to visit this park. From unique slides like the boomerang, black hole and the tornado to the super slaloms and the 8 lane 'multi-pistas' there is an attraction for all. They even have surf beach pool that can create over 1m high waves, and for the people that just want to relax, try the Congo River. For the youngger children there is the mini park catering in smaller versions of some of the grown up slides
Hidropark – Alcudia, Mallorca
If you are not located in the west of the island, over in the east you have the Hidropark in Alcudia. Hidropark is much smaller than the Aqualand but not short of slides. If you really want to make a splash take a trip on the kamikaze, this attraction is not for the faint hearted. This park has nothing on Aqualand so if it's in your budget, I would try to get to the other side of the island and experience the sheer size of the Aqualand.
Aguamar – Playa den Bossa, Ibiza
The White Isle has two worthy waterparks the first, and larger of the two is the Aguamar located just 15 minutes bus drive from Ibiza town. The Aguamar has many slides all will depend how daring you are feeling in your quest to cool down. There are around seven types of slides as well as your relaxing rubber ring style slides. They also offer what other people describe as the high and fast one. This slide is definitely one for the daring.
Agualandia – Talamanca, Ibiza
Close by to the quitter and and more family oriented resort of Talamanca lies Aqualandia. Aqualandia is smaller than the Aguamar and caters more for children with many more children's slides and lots of sheltered areas. Aqualandia has the favored multiple lane slides and twisty inflatable slides. This is without doubt the family friendly waterpark in Ibiza.
Aquacenter, Los Delfines, Menorca
Family friendly Aquacenter in Los Delfines has many attractions for the whole family to get splashing. The main highlights of this park are the Black Hole and the Giant Toboggan. They also have t rides you expect to see in all water parks with attractions such as your multi lane slides for the whole family to race to the finish. For the adults there is a Jacuzzi area to hide from the children.
Aquarock – Cala'n Bosch, Menorca
Aquarocks main attraction is their kamikaze slide. For the more adventurous slider in you, this slide will pummel you into the water at a cracking rate. As with most of the parks listed here this too caters for your family with a dedicated children's area wit smaller versions of the adult slides for maximum family fun. For the water shy family members there is always the go karts to keep you occupied.
