Faliraki Water Park

Advantages: variety of rides, fun day out, enjoyable attractions, fair entry fee, easy to get to
Disadvantages: no straps on locker keys, limited shade on walkways resulting in burning feet, very hilly

...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Faliraki Water Park ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As a family we are fairly easy to please on holiday. We consist of my dad who is 42, my 17 year old brother, my 8 year old brother and myself (I am 20). We all enjoy similar things on holiday and our ideal day is lazing around by the pool and perhaps having a little wander round local villages then having something nice to eat and drink. One thing we all love are decent water parks. So whilst on holiday in Rhodes we planned a day out to the waterpark in Falraki as it was recommended by Thomson and we were able to purchase our tickets through them to save us queuing too much at the park itself. Thomson did not do a set day excursion to the waterpark on the basis that it is so easy to get their by taxi and that then leaves it open for families to chose which days they...

Water and a Park... Kingsbury Water Park

Advantages: Cheap, a nice day out
Disadvantages: could probably be a bit boring for older kids

...*edited thanks to DrChazan's excellent advice!* On Monday, the kids school had (another) teaching training day and after our next door neighbour heard me screaming at the kids for the 100th time by 11am, he suggested Kingsbury Water Park. I'd never heard of it, so full of excitement me and Mark got the kids into the car and set off with a boot full of sarnies and crisps. Kingsbury Water Park is situated in Bodymoor Heath (just down the road from the Villa training ground). It covers 600 acres and inside all those acres lie 15 lakes. It was opened in 1975 and currently attracts more than 280,000 visitors a year. It was originally a series of sand and gravel pits but in the early 70's Warwickshire County Council decided to transform it into a Water Park. Half of the used up gravel pits were filled with water and thousands...

Improvements in Aquapolis water park

Advantages: Really great fun!
Disadvantages: Poor food quality :(

...This year I`ve spent my holidays in Cap Salou and the greatest highlight of it,believe it or not,was Aquapolis aqua park! It has got some new great slides.The first one I`ve tried was the most daring one I would say.It`s called SPLASH!You get up about 30ft high and sit on the sledge.Then they release you and you slide all the way down really steap untill you hit the water and keep sledghing on top of water sometimes bouncing like the stone that has been skipped.I had to do that again and again! Not sure if the black hole was there last year.It`s really good.I screamed my heart out.You just sit with another person on a double ring and then they push you into black hole.You can`t see much just feel the speed and some little flashing lights on the hardest bends.it`s where i started screaming. For the ones who want just to relax...

Skegness Water Leisure Park (Tents and Caravans)

Advantages: Lovely surroundings, excellent on-site facilities, polite and friendly staff
Disadvantages: A fair walk to Fantasy Island, silly push button showers, some uneven ground for tents

...Well, it was mid-september, and we decided we needed a break, so being first time campers (I'd been camping when I was younger, with my parents and brother and sisters, but that was nearly 25 years ago, and now I had my own family), and having got all the camping gear, (frame tent, cooking stove, air beds, sleeping bags, etc), we decided to go camping in Ingoldmells in Skegness, (or Skeggy to most of us in Yorkshire!) We searched the Internet for a place to stay, and came across a few sites, including The Skegness Leisure Water Park, which looked pretty good and reasonably priced. We set off from Sheffield around 3pm, after having loaded the car up, (6 birth family frame tent with all poles, inner sleeping compartment and seperate ground sheet, cooking equipment, pots, pans, table, air bed, sleeping bags, suitcase, baby's travel cot...

Makin' Waves

Advantages: Nice waterpark, kids will love it
Disadvantages: Very overpriced

...Sandcastle Water Park bills itself as the UK?s largest water park. It is on Blackpool?s promenade right next to South Pier and those familiar with the climate in the North of England will be glad to know that the attraction is indoors. The kids were desperate to visit this park after we read about it online before visiting Blackpool so we headed there on a wet day. I was shocked at the admission charges, an adult pays £14.20 for admission to the pool and to ride all of the chutes with a child ticket costing £11.85. You are free to stay in the waterpark all day once you have paid but I would also have liked to have the option of paying less for a two hour visit. The waterpark has a tropical theme with fake palm trees and brightly coloured birds dotted around the place. The first impressions I had was that despite being the biggest park...

Whooshhh lets get soaked!!!!

Advantages: Great family day out, clean, friendly & lots of choice
Disadvantages: No signs for direction.

...The Western Water Park - Magaluf I decided to write a review on this Water Park as we had such a good day out there. We went for a day trip to The Western Water Park while we were in Majorca on holiday last summer (2006) The attraction opens up at 10.00 ******** Background******* As we were staying at the Barcelo hotel (see Op) in Cala d?Or we were offered by our First choice reps if we wanted to attended any of the local trips. We unfortunately couldn?t go to see the pirate show as we had a young child so we opted to go the Western Water Park instead. As we had made quite a good friendship with another family we asked if they wanted to come along with us so the children could play along together. So we all went along to the next Rep meeting and booked our day out. ********Costs & Travelling ******** Western Water...

Better Than Water

Advantages: Two worlds melded together very nicely
Disadvantages: Not terribly well drawn characters

...Mike Carey is not a name I'd come across before, but on hearing he'd written the book that the film ''Constantine'' was based on, I was certainly interested in his work. ''Thicker Than Water'' is the fourth in his series involving Felix Castor and whilst that gave me slight pause about coming in to an already well established series, my desire to check out Carey's work outweighed any concerns I had. Felix Castor is an exorcist, attempting to fight the demons, werewolves and zombies that inhabit our world. Not all of them, as his closest friend has a demon living inside him whilst his friends Nicky and Juliet are a zombie and succubus. Mostly, he lets such things be, but if they cause trouble he takes it upon himself to remove them from the world and let us mere humans live in peace. This time around, Castor is implicated in a murder...

My favourite park!

Advantages: Lots of space and things to see and do
Disadvantages: None

...I have lived near Wythenshawe park all my life and it?s somewhere I have been many, many times. It is an ideal place for many things and for me it is great for walking the dogs in. I shall give a little bit of information of Wythenshawe park and my personal opinion on it. The location: Wythenshawe park is fairly big and located in Baguley. The park has the long and very busy, main road named Altrincham road on one side of it and the M56 motorway running past it on one side. The park is easily reached from various points and is not that far from Manchester airport either or other surrounding areas such as Altrincham, woodhouse park or even Manchester city centre itself. How big is the park? The park is fairly big and has plenty of space for people just wanting to relax in the sun, walk their dogs, have a game...

A splashing day out.

Advantages: entrace fee includes Dolphin show
Disadvantages: Have to pay deposits for everything

...Aquapolis - where is it Aquapolis is on the outskirts of a town called La Pineda and Spain's Costa Dorada and is a short bus ride away from the main town centre of Salou. During this years holiday we decided that as Spain was in the middle of a heat wave and the temp was in the region of 38 degrees C which is about 12 degrees above average for the Costa Dorada that we would not visit Port Aventura as planned but go to the water park instead as seem the sensible thing to do on a hot day. Arriving at Aquapolis - the local busses stop next to the park and a short walk though local market stalls and small shops which form part of the front of the park you arrive at the entrance. The entrance is in the middle of the market stalls but is easy to spot. We arrived at about 11am and where surprised that there we no big queues to get in...
