Sandcastle Waterpark

• Go wild in the Hyperzone and speed around five of the best water rides in the UK.
• Enjoy a relaxing tropical climate at almost 30 degrees throughout the park; perfect for that holiday feeling.
• Whether being pushed around rivers, or riding waves, enjoy plenty of water fun in any area.
• Feel like you’re on top of the world in the VIP Tiki Cabana.

Sandcastle Waterpark in Blackpool is the largest indoor waterpark in the UK, with 18 slides and eight areas, all located on the Blackpool Promenade. If you’re a fan of thrills like Chessington and Thorpe Park, or prefer to lay back and relax in the warm tropical climate, this is the waterpark for you.

If you’re seeking adventure and white knuckle rides then you’ll love the Hyperzone. You need to be 6+ to ride the majority of the rides, but some will require you to be 8+. You also need to be at least 1.2m tall for most rides, with two of them also requiring an accompanying adult if aged below 11. The Hyperzone has five incredible rides depending on what you’re looking for. Want to race your friends and family? Then enjoy the Duelling Dragons. Feel like exploring the midsts of a temple as you drop in darkness? Aztec Falls is perfect for you. Zoom around on the Montazooma as you hurtle around hairpin bends; feel like a snake on the Sidewinder, the world’s first indoor white knuckle sidewinder; and ride for 250 metres on the Masterblaster, the world’s longest indoor rollercoaster waterslide!

For less extreme waterslides, we recommend Fort Riptide, Treetops Waterchutes, and Thunderfalls. If you would rather be pushed around the flowing waters of Ushi Gushi River, have a look out for some of the watery surprises. Explore the HMS Thundersplash, with tunnels and treasure chests, slides and cannons. Maybe you want to hang out in the Carribean Storm Treehouse, and be swept away by a huge coconut of water. Or enjoy the extreme waves in the Typhoon Lagoon; listen out for the surf music to really make you feel like you're in paradise!

Want to make it an extra special day? Hire out the VIP Tiki Cabana. Enjoy your very own hot tub, a flat screen TV, fridge stocked with a selection of drinks, comfortable seating area, a safe to lock away your valuables, ceiling fans and reserved parking. You’ll even get lunch for everybody at a preselected time. If you’re planning an 18th birthday for one of your older children, you get admission to the Sea Breeze Spa with your package.

There’s something for everyone, for any occasion, at Sandcastle Waterpark.
