What to bring

  • Swimwear and a spare set of clothes for after your visit
  • Towels (or hire them on site)
  • Swim nappies for babies and toddlers
  • Waterproof sunscreen for the outdoor pools
  • Non-slip shoes or flip-flops for walking around the wet deck areas
  • A small dry bag for valuables whilst you're in the water

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
