When to go to beat the queues
Teacher training days are ideal for a less crowded experience especially if you can combine it with an off peak time!
The queues often begin as you arrive to pay! You can book your tickets online and access the fastrack entrance desk but you are paying a premium for this privilidge, (thrill hopper ticket holders can use the fastrack entrance too!). Easier to avoid peak times and arrive well before the opening times.
If you are going at a busy time, you’ll find it’s the queues for the slides that take up your time. If you have managed to get there early, head straight for the main slides. before the queues begin to build.
Lockers are priced at £1.50 a token per locker of which 50p will be refunded on return of the token. Hairdryers charged at 20p, all body dryer £1.
Have a break
Your own food and drink is not allowed into the pool area. There is a snack bar by the pool side although this gets very busy and the queues can be long!
Hire WaterWorld for your own private event: For up to 300 people, prices start at £2500 for two hours of water fun with all your mates! For an additional small charge, all windows can be covered for extra privacy upon request!
If you fancy tinsel with your swimming costume, try having your work’s Christmas party at Water World! Prices start at around £10 per person and includes entrance to the water park & a Christmas meal! With a choice of Christmas meals including an ‘I hate Christmas Option’ to get you in the mood!
Brought the kids but not interested yourself?
Pay the spectator charge, bring and book and dress for warm weather, (it gets hot in there!).
There is a separate pool specifically designated for little ones. There are toddler sessions available for young children when it’s likely to be much quieter although relatively expensive at around £9 for the session.
Parking is free of charge
Try the aqua disco session that runs every Friday evening from 6-9pm. Not only are prices discounted for these sessions, it’s also full of games & competitions all to the beat of chart topping music. Fun for older kids!
