Aqualand Maspalomas is the largest waterpark in the Canary Islands and a popular attraction among visiting families. Admission grants access to all the park’s attractions, and visitors can choose between a basic one or two-day admission ticket, or a two-park ticket that also includes entry into Palmitos Park (a zoo, an aviary, and a botanical garden). Tickets can also be upgraded to include lunch at one of the waterpark’s restaurants.
To get to the waterpark by public transportation, take Bus 45 from Bahia Feliz or Bus 70 from Puerto Rico. If you are coming by rental car, note that parking is free.
Aqualand is open year-round, except in extreme weather conditions. Hours are extended during the summer months, but this is also the busiest season, so visit on a weekday and expect lines at top attractions.
With abundant beaches, resorts for every budget, and sunny weather throughout the year, Gran Canaria makes an excellent destination for families looking for a beach vacation. Spend a day spotting dolphins and whales on a boat excursion offshore, experience a video game come to life at the Angry Birds Activity Park, see rescued crocodiles at the Parque de los Cocodrilo, or walk through a recreated Old West town at Sioux City. Holiday World Amusement Park packs more family fun for thrill-seekers and younger children alike.
