Good day out, albeit cool. There are 7 “larger” types of water slides operating.

Cons - The wirpool springs, which...

I think it would make the winter times much more viable...

Have so much fun doing day trip away with friends in here. Sadly a couple slide was under maintenance when we went there on May 2024. Hopefully that back open now. They also provide lockers to lock your belongings. Mostly the staff also friendly. Highly recommend this place :)
