It offers marvelous fun for all, featuring attractions such as sauna, hydro-massage, jacuzzi, climbing walls and 800 meters of totally twisted slides! Even here all is connected to the DRAGON ( slides & statues), a symbol of Krakow.
Great attractions of Aquapark :
TORNADO -New attraction, which will provide fantastic fun is Tornado. A new slide has hit the swimming pool, ready to ‘lure’ everyone into a whirl of crazy, colourful aqua-fun!
PIRATE`S ISLAND -Another new attraction has appeared lately for the littlest ones, which is called Pirates’ Island! A new water play for its youngest guests has been prepared in the kids’ favourite paddling pool. Every little pirate can conquer it, because the Pirates Island is located in the place where previously there had been a castle.
Fabulously colourful, bursting with water, surrounded with palm-trees, with as many as three mini slides it guarantees fantastic and unforgettable fun for the youngest and a bit older children, under a true pirate flag!
On the pirates island also cheerful surprises await you that sprinkle and splash the little conquerors with water.
SALAMANDER -the looongest Salamander in the world, 97 m long, blue and orange colored, for persons over 12 years old.
RAINBOW PATH - Unique adventure with rainbow path, which will provide fantastic fun not only to the youngest fans of water madness. You can walk on… water in the pool hall. It is possible thanks to specially prepared construction and colourful floating islands.
PIPES AND SLIDES - the most popular attractions in the Aqua Park! Before we take off on our mad ride, let’s remember the basic precautions and rules of the slide.
THE RAPID RIVER - The Rapid River is one of the greatest attractions of the swimming pool. After the chute madness it’s definitely pleasant to delve into the currents. The winding mountain river flows through a cave with cascades of warm water. There is only one difference between the real mountain setting and the Aqua Park: here even the most shivery souls will not complain! The temperature of our river is a warm 28 –30 degrees C.The grotto adds a hint of the mountain wilds. Try to cling on to the sides and see how difficult it is to avoid rushing along with the currents. During all this fun you might encounter wild springs and the water massages. The most intrepid might venture to swim against the current.
Return to the Hotel. Dinner & overnight.
