Entrance tickets to the water park
I was a bit alarmed at the queues when we arrived but the park is so big that there’s a lot of space to feel comfortable. I advise when you get in to put your towels down near the shady trees (there are lockers for valuables). At the other side of the park there are some sunbeds with umbrellas to hire which we also used for grandma. The queues for the slides are about 10-20 minutes but the kids didn’t mind, they loved it.
Spiraling chutes. Shriek-inducing slides. Laughs a minute. And plenty of space for you to relax in the sun while the kids have fun. That’s what Slide & Splash Water Park in Lagoa is all about. This is the Algarve like you’ve never known it and this summer, it’s even better than ever with the addition of The Big Wave and Disco River.
Plunge down the scary Black Hole or 20-meter Kamikaze. Whoop with joy as you speed down the super-steep Soft Slides. Or ride the foaming waters of the Rapid River on a rubber ring. You might even find yourself feeling a bit flushed after a go on the Tornado. Try out The Big Wave, a thrilling high-speed four-person floater ride with a zero-gravity sensation climbing wave, while on the Disco River, you can dance with music and lots of lights – a real sliding discotheque.
For something a little less fast and furious, there’s also a giant hot tub, sunbathing terraces and an Olympic-sized pool for some good old-fashioned splash about with the kids. Add restaurants serving everything from pizzas and burgers to salads and ice-cream and you’ve got all the ingredients for a cracking family outing.
