A Splashing Start to Our Lanzarote Adventure

Our family trip to Lanzarote was filled with anticipation, and the highlight was undoubtedly our day at Aquapark Costa Teguise. As a mother of three, I always seek out destinations that promise both fun and safety for my children, and this water park did not disappoint. We arrived early, as suggested by fellow travelers, and the excitement was palpable as we entered the gates.

The park is a sprawling 22,000 square meters of pure joy, with attractions that cater to all ages. My kids, who are all over 1.2 meters, were thrilled to try the Kamikaze and Whirlwind slides, which are not for the faint-hearted. For those with younger children, the park offers a delightful lagoon area with smaller slides and games, ensuring that even the littlest ones have a memorable experience.

One of the highlights of our day was the professional photographer who captured our family with tamed parrots. These photos are now cherished memories of our adventure. I highly recommend availing of this service early in the day to avoid the rush and ensure you get the best shots.

Practical Tips for a Perfect Day

As a seasoned traveler with kids, I know the importance of preparation. Here are some tips that made our day at the water park stress-free and enjoyable. First, purchasing a full-day ticket is a must. It allows you to explore the park at your own pace and ensures you don’t miss out on any attractions that might not be open all day.

Lockers are available and worth the investment for peace of mind. Knowing our valuables were safe allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the fun without worry. And, of course, sunscreen is essential. The Lanzarote sun is relentless, and frequent reapplication kept us all sunburn-free.

The park’s lifeguards are vigilant about height restrictions, which I appreciated as a parent. Knowing that safety is a priority allowed me to relax and enjoy the day. For families with children under 1 meter, there are still plenty of activities to enjoy, but knowing your child’s height in advance can help plan your day more effectively.

Embracing the Elements

One thing to note is that the pools are not heated, which can be a bit of a shock initially. However, once acclimated, the cool water is refreshing, especially on a hot day. The breeze can be chilly, so bringing a wrap or towel is a good idea for when you’re out of the water.

We also took advantage of the indoor paintball arena, a unique feature of the park. It was a great way to break up the day and try something different. The electric cars were another hit with my kids, providing a fun obstacle course challenge that they thoroughly enjoyed.

Overall, our day at Aquapark Costa Teguise was a fantastic family outing. The combination of thrilling rides, relaxing areas, and additional activities like paintball and electric cars made it a well-rounded experience. I wholeheartedly recommend it to any family visiting Lanzarote. It’s a day filled with laughter, adventure, and memories that will last a lifetime.
