Situated on Dan Spring Road, The Aqua Dome first opened in 1994 and has since been a year-round source of entertainment for families, groups, and individuals seeking adventure.
In 2023, it received the ‘Best of the Best’ award from Tripadvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards, placing it among the top 1 per cent of attractions worldwide.
Whether you prefer the thrill of water slides or the calm of a lazy river, this waterpark has something for everyone.
The central feature of the Aqua Dome is its wave pool, which offers realistic waves for visitors to enjoy a swimming experience that is similar to the ocean.
This wave pool allows swimmers to test their skills as the wave intensity is constantly being adjusted.
For those looking for a more relaxing experience, the lazy river is a perfect option as it offers a gentle current that allows visitors to float along the water.
However, if you are in the mood for something more exciting, the river rapids offer a top-class experience with fast-moving currents.
And the Aqua Dome also features a high-speed flume slide.
This slide is one of the most popular attractions for visitors, allowing them to race each other through twists and turns before splashing down into the pool below.
There is also a whirlpool spa with hot tubs, offering visitors the perfect chance to unwind after trying out the water slides.
For families with younger children, the Aqua Dome has dedicated children’s pools equipped with bubble slides, fountains and mushroom sprays.
Furthermore, the waterpark is home to Aqua Golf.
This popular spot is an 18-hole mini-golf course located beside the waterpark, offering visitors an alternative for anyone looking to stay dry.

What’s more, The Aqua Dome offers ample free parking for visitors, including spaces for disabled parking, ensuring that the venue is accessible to all.
