Last Minute Travel: Water Parks - Europe

Continuing from previous weeks, we are looking at more great water parks from around the world. This week we take a look at just a few of the waterparks located in Europe. Remember that most parks close in September, so pack your suit soon and get ready for some wet and wild fun.

Area 47 (Innsbruck, Austria)

A charming Alpine lake is the beautiful setting for this outdoor water park, which is open from April to the end of September. Many previous visitors recommend this park to families with older children or to young adults. There are water rides, a challenging diving tower and a hydro-speed slide. There is a great many water slides and an extraordinary water cannon that fires you several meters across the pool. This park is really well designed and well run, but there is not much at the park for very small children. 

Siam Park (Tenerife, Spain)

Siam Park is a Thai-themed water park on the island of Tenerife. The park's most popular ride is the 91-foot-high Tower of Power, on which riders plunge down a vertical drop before shooting through an aquarium filled with stingrays and sharks. If that's a bit too much for you, drift along the lazy river or attend surf lessons in the park's wave pool for slightly more sedate activities. There is something for everyone no matter how young, old, brave or timid.  This park also offers fast passes to bypass the long lines on their more popular attractions. Whilst fast passes obviously add to the cost they can be a very good idea.

Tropical Islands (Krausnick, Germany)

Here is a water park that is housed inside the largest free-standing hall in the world. The structure was originally built as a hangar for dirigibles, making it a unique locale as well as huge.  Tropical Islands can accommodate 6,000 visitors a day and has one of the world's largest indoor pools, measuring 656 feet in length.

Away from the water, there's a rainforest with 50,000 plants, a hotel and a nightclub. It's even possible to go for a balloon ride, all without having to step outside.
