“Paying for sun beds is a shame when already paid to get in and paid for parking”
Review of PortAventura Park near Salou, with major roller coasters, six themed worlds, family rides, queues, prices, and practical planning tips.
“Of you are traveling to Barcelona and have one or to days to spare the Port Aventura will fill you with adrenaline. Just consider the express access tickets to buy so no waiting line and lose precious time.”
Review of Aqualand Costa Adeje, with slides, heated children’s pools, dolphin show, practical tips, costs, and family advice.
“absolutely amazing the Dolphin show is great the park is fun I'd advise fast pass though but without it would still be fine. the Dolphin programme is expensive but an unforgettable experience so if you can afford it go for it. Bring snacks in your bag though like most places like this paying for food is a rip! but a great day out”
Review Terra Natura Benidorm, a family-friendly wildlife park with elephants, birds of prey, rare species, shows, and useful travel tips.
“Had an excellent time. Loved the birds of prey show. Watched it twice. Easy to get around. There are mobility scooters available to hire.”
Review Acua Water Park in Corralejo, with 14 attractions, wave pool, family areas, practical tips, costs, queues, food, and value advice.
“Plenty of sun beds and places to keep belongings. Wait times for rings was fine”
Spend a full day at PortAventura from Barcelona with return bus transport, major roller coasters, themed lands, shows, and family rides.
“Takes more than an hour of transport but the park is great! Could skip the ticket lines and go straight to entry. Recommend the Xpress cards, there's long lines!!”
Review of Aqua Natura Benidorm, with slides, children's pools, sea lion shows, costs, transport tips, and advice for families.
“Shocked to find that Sunbeds are an extra cost once inside the park, sadly there are no other options to sit unless you are having food at one of the outlets. The park wasn’t particularly busy but there still seemed to be a shortage of inflatables for the rides”
Aqualava Waterpark Lanzarote offers heated pools, family slides, a lazy river and round-trip transport, with the best value for younger families.
“Good slides Good wave pool Good children's area Not a lot of queuing No where near enough lockers - had to keep going to the car for stuff Changing facilities very poor Not all areas supervised by life guards Some under inflated inflatables were dangerous - I saw a father and son fall off the inflatable mid slide! No life guard to be seen when this happened.”
Review Aquapark Costa Teguise in Lanzarote, with slides, Jacuzzis, paintball, electric cars, practical tips, prices, and family advice.
“Waterpark was amazing and would recommend although I would not on through viator as it said in the description transfer although I was not picked up and when I attempted to start a chat the day before received no reply. It was also cheaper to pay on the door.”
Spend a day at Barcelona’s Tibidabo Park with rides for all ages, the Cuca de Llum funicular, the Automaton Museum, and sweeping city views.
“The only thing could be better is the way to get ther.”

“Great water park for families, we would certainly visit again”
Cool off in Torrevieja with Aquopolis slides, kids’ rides, Aquagym, hot tubs, and a full day of family water-park fun.
“We purchased the add on facility for our daughters birthday, this was in addition to the day tickets. The staff helped us sort this and then walked us to the VIP area gave us our locker key, which unfortunately didn’t work so we were given a locker in the main area. This was fine for us.”
Pick a city, a coast or a table.
