Why do we love water slides so much?

They can be big and small, with several routes, straight or full of curves, but all of them have a common goal: fun. And the thing is that we love water slides!

Whatever our age is, we do not think twice and we go ahead for adventure in the colourful tubes which form these fantastic attractions.

One of the reasons why we love water slides so much is the feelings they provoke. As we grow older, we look for new emotions which surprise us and make us enjoy the same as the first day.

Although we may think that water slides are for children, they are absolutely not. There are specialized parks such as Aqualandia which have a series of attractions adapted to each visitor. For that reason, the water slides of the park are classified in three levels of adrenaline so that both children and older people can enjoy a day between the land, the sea and the air in our water slides.

Imagination plays an important role in the life of children. Although their water slides are not very high, their wishes to have fun will create a magical scene when they get into our attractions. Teenagers eager to discover new adventures can enjoy the falls when they slide down on our water slides. However, one of the greatest benefits of water slides on adults is the elimination of stress, since the adrenaline running through our body when we are sliding down in a water slides can make everyday stress disappear.

Each water slides is unique, and their shape and characteristics are the key elements for feeling emotion during a slide down. Our wide range of attractions includes water slides, capsule sledges, tubes, spiral-sledges, with curves and different slopes.

Aqualandia includes an endless number of options to enjoy its water slides to the fullest. We have three routes to discover our aquatic attractions depending on whether we are with children or depending on the level of adrenaline we want to experience.

The Family Route is one of the options to enjoy both for children and adults. This route starts in Adventureland, where children can go down some small water slides which run into a pool full of games and activities. We can continue the route in the Black Hole, a water slides with a circular route in the darkness. The smooth slides, Splash and the rapids are three water slides ready to do competitions, so the winner will be the first one to slide down in our ZigZag. In order to finish with this route, there is nothing better than a dip and a last go in the water slides of our Lagoon.

In the Friend Route we can combine attractions of the former route with a slide down on our Big-Bang water slides, four routes of different heights which are ideal to get ready for the main attraction: Verti-Go!, the highest water slide in Europe, 33 meters tall, which will shoot our adrenaline level up.

And, finally, in our Extreme Route you can enjoy emotions in their pure state. Only the bravest ones will dare to do it!

We love water slides, summer and, of course, Aqualandia. We are waiting for you with our arms opened.

Summer is the perfect time to explore, and there’s nothing more fun than spending time in water.

No matter if it’s in the ocean, lake, creek, community pool, or tub in the backyard, playing in the water may help children grow and develop in these essential ways:

Balance and Strength

Though it might look like your child is just splashing around, water play can help improve children’s balance and strength. Playing in water is like playing in a brand new playground where even the simplest activities, like clapping your hands or jumping, are a whole new sensory experience. Children can experiment without worrying about falling or crashing into hard surfaces. Water also adds resistance so water play activities work as strength training. It takes more muscle strength to move arms and legs through water then it does through air.

Coordination

Swimming develops muscles and motor skills and helps improve coordination. Kicking movements engage the core, and can help children learn how to coordinate both sides of their body to move through the water. When children swim, dance, throw objects, or practice any movement in water they’re developing coordination.

Communication and Social Skills

Water play allows children to explore and interact with each other. New experiences and discovering new things within shared spaces offer a great opportunity for social development. As children play, they will be excited to communicate their discoveries to everyone around them. This is a confidence booster for kids! Because water play typically occurs in a limited space with few supplies, children practice sharing with each other and working together while engaging in play. There are many opportunities for communication development and social growth during water play!

Exploration and Learning

Bodies of water offer endless opportunity for physical experiments and discoveries. Children may have already investigated wood, dirt, sand, rocks, and other dry substances. But what happens when these substances are mixed, sifted, or dropped with water? Children also get the opportunity to think about concepts like water displacement and volume as they explore in a body of water. Water supports a variety of life forms like fish and frogs, so water play can lead to new biological adventures as well!

Water play can be a fun summer activity and also allow children the opportunity to practice many valuable skills. But it is important to remember to never let children play in or nearby water unsupervised. Don’t allow children to play with non-CPSC approved toys, and do not trust flotation devices solely to support a child who cannot swim on his or her own.

Safety Tips

  • Don’t leave your child unattended, even for a second, near water – including bathtubs!
  • Have all caregivers become trained in CPR in case of an emergency.
  • If you have a pool cover, ensure it is completely removed before swimming and do not allow your child to walk or crawl on it.
  • Enforce rules around the pool. Children should not run near the pool or push others underwater.
  • Make it clear that some activities, like bike riding, should not be done near the water.
  • Flotation devices are not a substitute for supervision. Always stay within an arm’s length from baby.
  • Life jackets should always be worn when riding on a boat.
  • The AAP says children are not typically ready for formal swim lessons before their first birthday. But remember: swimming lessons are meant to increase a child’s comfort level in the water but do not replace caregiver supervision!
