Aqualand Maspalomas

The basics

Aqualand Maspalomas is the largest waterpark in the Canary Islands and a popular attraction among visiting families. Admission grants access to all the park’s attractions, and visitors can choose between a basic one or two-day admission ticket, or a two-park ticket that also includes entry into Palmitos Park (a zoo, an aviary, and a botanical garden). Tickets can also be upgraded to include lunch at one of the waterpark’s restaurants.

Things to know before you go

• Buy your tickets ahead of time to skip the line at the ticket office and enjoy more time inside the park.
• Don’t forget to bring a bathing suit, a beach towel, and sun protection.
• There are height restrictions on the larger water slides.
• Park amenities include self-service restaurants, cafeterias, snack stands, and a gift shop.
• Outside food and drink are permitted inside the park, but glass containers are not allowed.

How to get there

To get to the waterpark by public transportation, take Bus 45 from Bahia Feliz or Bus 70 from Puerto Rico. If you are coming by rental car, note that parking is free.

When to get there

Aqualand is open year-round, except in extreme weather conditions. Hours are extended during the summer months, but this is also the busiest season, so visit on a weekday and expect lines at top attractions.
