- bethiahsLlandrindod Wells, United Kingdom1 contributionFun activities and very friendly and helpful staffWe we’re a group of 9 and once we checked in I realised I’d only booked a spot for myself, the staff were so understanding and found us all spots on another session! The ages in our group ranged from 6 - 50 and we all had an excellent time and the hour long session was perfect. We also appreciated the photograph service and have some fantastic photos from it. Will definitely come again next time we’re in the area!Visited June 2023Travelled with familyWritten 17 July 2023
- Jayne M19 contributionsExhausting fun on the water parkWe had the most fun on the water park. It was physically demanding and we were all exhausted at the end. We couldn’t locate a shower though so had to leave feeling rather wet and cold as it was raining. In fairness though I didn’t ask anyone either !Visited August 2023Travelled with familyWritten 4 August 2023
- Julie7 contributionsAn afternoon of fun and laughter on an Inflatable Water CourseDorset Adventure Park was a brilliant afternoon out. We signed up for the inflatable water course which was an hour long spending 1/2 an hour on each of the inflatable courses. The setting was lovely, the staff were pleasant and were there to help you if needed. The lifeguards were with you on the inflatables ensuring you were safe at all times. It was absolutely brilliant fun. We were able to hire wetsuits and buy aqua socks for the activity. What was also really good was that there are cameras taking photos throughout your session which you can look through and purchase at the end if you wish to. A great way to take memories home with you. Would highly recommend and will definitely be visiting again next year!Visited August 2023Written 19 August 2023
- Kate PLondon, United Kingdom3 contributionsEnjoyableI took my 12 year old and his best friend to the water course. They loved it so much they begged to come back the very next day. Everything was well organised. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The lifeguards were excellent and amazing with the kids. I highly recommend!Visited August 2023Written 21 August 2023
- LilbelHampshire, United Kingdom13 contributionsFab aqua park!My teenage boys had a wonderful time in the aqua park today! The lifeguards were friendly and engaging and we loved that you get half an hour on each park. It didn’t seem overbooked either, which may have just been luck, but water parks are so much more fun when not at capacity! Thank you for keeping it a fun and safe place to visit.Visited September 2023Travelled with familyWritten 3 September 2023
- Groovygem1Dorchester, United Kingdom65 contributionsThe best fun everI have visited the park pretty much every year since it opened and it’s always absolutely brilliant. We went yesterday and it was our best visit yet. Staff are amazing, the lifeguards especially Estella (I hope I spelt her name right) are fantastic fun and also very professional keeping everyone safe. The whole set up is great. Would absolutely recommend for the next day out. We did the waterpark but have done the mud run before which is great too.Visited September 2023Travelled with familyWritten 10 September 2023

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I went with my friend to this place, we go all the time know all the staff and they are all amazing and kind and Amazing to get a long with exept for today where we had an rare experience where a life guard Called George kicked us out for pushing people in when I was pushed in first and then they lied to him about what they did he was then repeatedly telling us he didn’t care about our argument and then shortly after kicked us out. We always will love going and it is an amazing place but that life guard experience wasn’t nice at all.

This review is written by a child known to us. On arrival they were bragging to our receptionists about being thrown out of Lidl the previous day, and were intending to cause trouble here.
They knowingly broke various safety rules during their session, were warned several times times about their behaviour, before finally being asked to leave for their own safety and the safety of our other customers.
This is an entitled teenager who doesn't like to be told no, and sadly doesn't understand the importance of reviews to small businesses.

On holiday nearby, we arrived at the park to be told a glitch on the booking system shouldn't have let us book a slot on the day/time we had. Instead of the 'computer says no' attitude you often get, they couldn't have been more helpful, and accommodated us brilliantly, special thanks going to George and Harry who were fantastic with our boys, who had a great time, so much so that they insisted we went back again- when we also has a great time!

So miserable that they don't do carer tickets for disabled children.
So many other places do carer tickets and at £20 a head this makes it £40 for disabled children who need a little assistance. Shame on Dorset Adventure Park.

A good challenge with lots of obstacles and loads of mud. A lot of fun and a great day out. This was the second time for me and I will go again.

Having visited the last 2 years, I am keen on revisiting the mud trail again.
How is the mud with this continuing dry weather? The stream worked well in getting the worst of the mud off. Is there still water in the stream?

With the hit and miss weather this year how is the mud on the course this year? Are there any new obstacles on the course this year? Any advice is welcome. Thanks

Is there anywhere to view and purchase photos after your visit?

Weymouth, UK20 contributions
Yes they had a photography team working from May Half term till September who go around taking photos of the people on the water and some in the mud zone A.
Their in blue tops with photographer written in yellow, just give them a wave and they will snap away! All photos can be seen on there big screen tv on the hour. They do there best to get everyone but if you see them and want a photo taken before or after etc just ask them they are all friendly and happy to take your photo.
Their next to the office if you want to go see your photos any time you just need to remember what time roughly you had the photo taken or what water session you were on 👍🏼 photos aren’t expensive and they do package deals and they can get brilliant photos on their cameras!

Do you restrict the number of people on the inflatables so they are not over crowded

They limit the numbers on each lake but you are free to move between inflatables. There are supervisors who make sure everyone is safe and having a good time.

Hi hoping to come this summer! My son is 6 and not really any kind of swimmer can he take part if I am with him at all time?

I can’t see this being a problem. They are very careful on safety and there are plenty of lifeguards and, as someone else points out, you have to wear buoyancy aids.

do i have to book in advance?
Am camping near corfe castle in a few weeks and just wondered what was best?
Was going to take my partner for his 40th birthday present!

Defiantly best to book to make sure of your place as it is a special occasion and at peak season. Hope you enjoy, our family had great fun there. Nice place for a picnic, too.
PS you can hire wet suits and shoes to wear in the water if you don't have them
