Top 8 aquaparks within the border and beyond

Are you drawn to water slides and barrelling down at high speed? Or do you prefer a 450-meter-long artificial river, perhaps a complex with 26 different water slides? The decision is not easy. However, termalfurdo.hu helps by presenting the eight most exciting aquaparks.

1. Hungarospa Hajdúszoboszló

Chosen as the ‘Pool of the Year’ in 2017, the Aquapark in the Hajdúszoboszló complex offers a water slide park with 15 slides, each more exhilarating than the other. Adrenaline-seekers can choose between slides bearing names like the kamikaze, the hydro slide, the giant screw slide or the racing slide with four lanes next to each other. Others, like the black hole, the Niagara, the crazy river, the big hole or the twister require perhaps even more guts. Moreover, since 2014, the ‘extreme zone’ offers six exciting adventure slides – the free-falling tunnel, the water loop, the superwave, the space boat, the water pipe and, last but not least, the tsunami.

2. Loipersdorf Therme – Loipersdorf bei Fürstenfeld

This aquapark is only 20 kilometres away from the Rábafüzes border crossing. It has a racing slide accurately called the ‘Racer’ that creates a real Formula-1 racing atmosphere. Sliding down the ‘Arrow’, you can reach a speed of up to 50 km/h. However, those wanting a more relaxed slide need not worry, either. They can opt for the ‘Panorma Slide’ that, thanks to its transparent cover, offers a great view all the way down. The little ones can also have a great time dabbling in the baby pool, building sandcastles or even meeting Jack Sparrow.

3. Aquapark Tatralandia – Lipótszentmiklós

As one of the biggest aquaparks in Central Europe, Aquapark Tatralandia offers an impressive 21 water slides, all different lengths and types. It also has 16 pools including thermal baths, kid pools, aqua pools and even swimming pools for those craving a workout, not to mention the luxury of 7 different saunas. The pool named ‘Ocean’ offers a great view over the summits of the Tátra.

4. Aquae Vivae – Krapinske Toplice

This modern wellness center is a mere 34 kilometres from Zagreb, with a name meaning ‘vital water’. The complex offers 500 square meters of water, including slow rivers, slides in different sizes and gurglers. There is also a wave pool that, with its 5-meter depth, is also perfect for trying out scuba diving.
