Over the years my children have continually visited splashdown and always had an excellent time. Thankfully I have avoided going in so far as I hate water slides! However, plenty to do nearby whilst the kids hit the flumes. More

What you see is what you get. Fun once, but not really worth a second visit. More

My boyfriend and I came here for a treat during the Easter holiday - we had a fantastic time! Lots of water slides to choose from and lots of water to splash around in. We arrived at about 3pm so the busiest time of day had passed - we left at 6, at which time there were no queues for... More

Paid £37.20 for 2hrs for a family of 4. We went on a wet bank holiday Monday so expected it to be busy. However they obviously are more interested in their profit then customer enjoyment as we must have spent about 1 3/4 hrs waiting in various lines & 15 mins on the flumes. The children thought the rides were... More

Active family of 5 (eldest child 13), loved this waterpark. It has 12 water slides. We purchased all day tickets which meant that we could leave the site and come back later in the day (which made it even better value for money). We arrived at 10am and it was reasonably quiet- only One or two people in the queues.... More

We went in the winter and my youngest was too small for the main flumes, all she could go in was this underground pool. Very expensive for that. My eldest daughter however loved the flumes. More

We had a great time in the water park but would recommend it for 11+ as my youngest was a little nervous ( so was I ) .. also 2 hours was enough. More

Loads of different flume rides with different levels of scariness - who knew there were so many?! It was nice that there was an area for little kids, our toddler loved the little boat with the water canons and the mini flume tube in Buccaneers Bay. We went on a quiet weekday daytime so there were no queues, it probably... More
