Make a big splash on your next holiday by visiting a waterpark.There are hundreds of water parks all around the world.
As the home turf of giants Disney and Universal, America remains the leading water park market, although the Middle East – home to Yas Waterworld, Wild Wadi and Aquaventure Waterpark at The Palm, Dubai – is mounting a serious challenge.
Elsewhere Europe, Asia and South America continue to offer some outstanding spots to get wet.
But which waterpark is the best? Best in Travel has our favourites but they all have their highlights: it just depends on your own personal taste preferences. Are you obsessed with slides and rides? Or would you prefer a more spa-oriented waterpark such as SchwabenQuellen in Stuttgart (Germany) with its array of saunas, steam rooms, adventure showers and relaxation-oriented water play areas?
To help you out, we’ve put together a guide to some of the best waterparks on the planet. You’re welcome.
