Aqualand Maspalomas is an outdoor water park on the south coast of Gran Canaria, with slides, pools and areas for younger children. You can race down the Tornado, float along the Anaconda lazy river or cool off in the wave pool; the park has more than 30 slides and attractions. Tropical plants add greenery between the rides, and sea lion encounters are available at an extra cost. It suits families and anyone keen to spend a day in the water, though food inside can be expensive.
Slides and water areas
Aqualand Maspalomas has more than 30 slides and attractions, with options ranging from fast descents to gentler places to spend time in the water. The Tornado is among the higher-adrenaline rides. For a calmer stretch, the lazy river gives you time to float, while the wave pool brings a different kind of splash without a steep slide.
The Anaconda is a 200-metre water ride. Other named attractions include Snake Falls, Mamut and the eight-lane Water Labyrinth. These give groups a mix of winding rides, shared descents and a chance to race. The park also has a bubble pool and a man-made surf beach.
A visit with children
A dedicated children’s area gives younger visitors a place to play away from the more intense rides. The range of pools and slides makes the park suitable for family groups with different ages and comfort levels in the water. Check ride access before setting your plans around a particular slide, since access restrictions have been reported.
Sea lion encounters are another option at the park, but they cost extra. If that is part of your plan, account for the additional charge separately from admission.
