If you are heading out on recession beating a family holiday to any of the Balearics this year, try to make sure you get yourself over to one of these awesome waterparks.  There is nothing better than hitting some of the best water featured attractions in the blazing sun and it has to be said it is the most fun way to cool down in the heat.

Aqualand – Magaluf, Mallorca
This park is large.With more thank 15 different slides and other attractions, if you ever visit Majorca and are in the west of the island this is definitely one park you need to visit.  From unique slides like the boomerang, black hole and the tornado to the super slaloms and the 8 lane ‘multi-pistas’ there is an attraction for all.  They even have surf beach pool that can create over 1m high waves, and for the people that just want to relax, try the Congo River.  For the younger children there is the mini park catering in smaller versions of some of the grown up slides

Hidropark – Alcudia, Mallorca
If you are not located in the west of the island, over in the east you have the Hidropark in Alcudia.Hidropark is a smaller park than Aqualand but not short of slides. You really should try the kamikaze although its not one for the faint hearted.This park is miniscule in comparison to Aqualand i’d reccoment going to aqualand due to the sheer size of it.

Aguamar – Playa den Bossa, Ibiza

The White Isle has two worthy waterparks the first, and larger of the two is the Aguamar located just 15 minute bus drive from Ibiza town.  The Aguamar has many slides all will depend how daring you are feeling in your quest to cool down.  There are around seven types of slides as well as your relaxing rubber ring style slides.There is also one that other people describe as the high and fast one.This slide is not for the faint hearted.

Agualandia – Talamanca, Ibiza
Near to the family oriented resort of Talamanca lies Aqualandia.  Aqualandia is smaller than the Aguamar and caters more for children with many more children’s slides and lots of sheltered areas.  Aqualandia has the favoured multiple lane slides and twisty inflatable slides.This is on of the most family friendly waterparks in Ibiza.

Aquacenter – Los Delfines, Menorca

Family friendly Aquacenter in Los Delfines has many attractions for the whole family to get splashing.The main highlights of this park are the Giant Toboggan and the Black Hole.They also have the rides that all water parks have like multi lane slides for the whole family to race to the finish. There is also a Jacuzzi for the adults.

Aquarock – Cala’n Bosch, Menorca
The main attraction in Aquarocks is their kamikaze slide.  For the more adventurous slider in you, this slide will pummel you into the water at a cracking rate.  As with most of the parks listed here this too caters for your family with a dedicated children’s area with smaller versions of the adult slides for maximum family fun.As well as the waterpark there is even go kart if you prefer to stay dry.
