Adults and children alike love to have fun in the water. So don't miss out on a fun and rewarding experience at one of the best water parks in Cologne, Aqualand. There are all kinds of slides, jacuzzis, pools, saunas and baths waiting for you and your child — in other words, everything you need to have a great and varied time. Aqualand in Cologne is the perfect place for an active family holiday.
After an exhausting sightseeing programme, many parents with children come here to relax and to recharge their powers.

The water and leisure centre is divided into two large areas: the swimming pool and the sauna. Children will naturally prefer to spend their time in the former, as it is the only area with all kinds of water slides and several pools where they can swim peacefully, splash around, squeal and play catch-up. There is a separate area with a shallow pool for the youngest children in the swimming hall.
For the older kids, Aqualand has a large meandering pool and slides of all kinds. Some of the slides are under the open sky, which is especially important in the summer.
We'd like to highlight Aqualand's water rides.

The AQUAconda slide is a 150-metre long, winding, blind tube. It is suitable for children under the age of 10 as it is considered quite challenging.
The Space Typhoon slide is a sensory rollercoaster in the form of a 90 metre long blind tube with various lighting effects.
Another long slide is the Red Star. It is 110 metres long.
The Rocket attraction is a pneumatic slide. Once on board, get ready to be thrown into the water under pressure and reach speeds of up to 45 km/h! Warning! This slide is only for children over 10 years old and weighing at least 40 kg.
The Boomerang water slide is well known and very popular. This 46 metre long and 4.5 metre high slide allows thrill seekers to slide up and down its surface many times.
We should also mention the parents' area, which is a real paradise for the body. First and foremost are the saunas, the number of which at Aqualand is a pleasant surprise. In this area you'll find several saunas with different temperatures, a Turkish hamam, six whirlpools, a rustic sauna with a dry straw floor, an infrared sauna and even an aroma sauna where you can enjoy the scent of oranges. Don't miss the now-fashionable salt cave with its pleasantly heated stone bed.
Cologne Zoo, popular with families with children, is 11 km away.
Right in the water, at the spacious pool bar, friendly bartenders serve alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails, fruit cocktails for the kids, all kinds of soft drinks, coffee and beer. Relax at the bar with a delicious cocktail in hand and a great view of the 5 x 3 metre video screen. It continuously shows selected sporting events, films about the water world, short informative films about the water park or announcements of upcoming events and special offers.
Massages, including Ayurvedic and exotic, are available for a fee at Cologne Waterpark. The professional masseurs at Aqualand will pamper you for a few minutes. If you can't get through the day without a bit of exercise, the local gym is at your disposal. Modern cardio and strength training equipment will keep you fit. In the evening, head to Cologne Aquapark for spectacular laser shows for young and old.
