- Waterproof sunscreen for the outdoor pools

Top tips
- Visit during quieter times mid-week if possible, as reviews mention it can get very busy, especially in the outdoor pool area during peak periods
- Wear non-slip footwear or water shoes as the floors can be wet and slippery, particularly on the outdoor pool steps
- Arrive early to make the most of your session and enjoy the slides and attractions before the pools become crowded
- Take advantage of the heated pools year-round, which makes this a great visit even outside the summer months
- Allow time to explore both the indoor and outdoor areas, but remember the outdoor facilities are weather-dependent
