Had a fabulous afternoon at this place. Just the tonic we needed after a stifling day in the sun. A good few rides that are not for the faint hearted. One negative is the signage in the park which is a bit confusing.

Over the years my children have continually visited splashdown and always had an excellent time. Thankfully I have avoided going in so far as I hate water slides! However, plenty to do nearby whilst the kids hit the flumes.

What you see is what you get. Fun once, but not really worth a second visit.

My boyfriend and I came here for a treat during the Easter holiday - we had a fantastic time! Lots of water slides to choose from and lots of water to splash around in. We arrived at about 3pm so the busiest time of day had passed - we left at 6, at which time there were no queues for... More

Paid £37.20 for 2hrs for a family of 4. We went on a wet bank holiday Monday so expected it to be busy. However they obviously are more interested in their profit then customer enjoyment as we must have spent about 1 3/4 hrs waiting in various lines & 15 mins on the flumes.

We purchased all day tickets which meant that we could leave the site and come back later in the day (which made it even better value for money).
