Lanzarote Aquapark Costa Teguise

Aquapark Costa Teguise is Lanzarote’s main water park and the largest you’ll find on the island. Conveniently located in the heart of Costa Teguise, it is just a short stroll from most hotels and apartments, so you can leave the car behind and enjoy a relaxed day out with family or friends.

The park opens its doors for the summer season, usually from May through to the end of October, though the exact dates can change a little each year depending on the weather. During these months, you’ll find families, teenagers and adults all enjoying the slides, splash pools and plenty of sunshine. While it isn’t as vast as some of the water parks you might find on other islands, Aquapark Costa Teguise makes the most of its space, offering a good mix of attractions that can easily fill a whole day with fun.

You will find the park right on Avenida del Golf, at the very heart of Costa Teguise, nestled between the main shopping areas and the beach. Most visitors staying in the resort’s hotels or apartments can enjoy a gentle walk there in less than 15 minutes. If you are coming from Playa de las Cucharas, the main beach, it is just a pleasant 10-minute stroll inland. There is a large sign on the main road, so it is easy to spot whether you are arriving on foot or by car.

There is a car park on site, but during the busy summer months, spaces can fill up quickly, so many locals and visitors find it easier to arrive on foot or by taxi. The park itself is surprisingly spacious, with plenty of attractions to keep everyone entertained, yet it never feels overcrowded. The bigger slides are grouped together at one end, while family rides and the children’s splash zone each have their own space, making it easy to find your way around. As Lanzarote’s only true water park with full-sized slides and a wave pool, it is the go-to spot for a fun day out in the water. The park opens in line with the busiest months, and on those hot July and August days, you will find it buzzing with families and friends from late morning onwards.

At the far end of the park, you will usually find teenagers and adventurous adults drawn to the thrill rides. The kamikaze slides are the main event here, with their steep, almost vertical drops that send you speeding down on a rush of water. Lying back with your arms crossed, you feel that unmistakable flutter in your stomach as gravity does its work. The ride is over in a flash, ending with a satisfying splash at the bottom.

Beside the kamikaze slides, there are enclosed tube rides that wind and twist in the darkness before dropping you into a cool plunge pool. Not knowing exactly where the next turn will take you adds to the fun, and the pace picks up as you go.

The multi-lane racer slide is always a favourite, especially for families and groups of friends. Here, you can line up side by side on mats and race each other head-first down parallel tracks, with plenty of bumps and dips to keep things lively. There is always a lot of laughter and friendly competition, and standing at the top of the bigger slides, you really do get a sense of just how high up you are.

The slides are fast enough to be exciting, but not so wild as to put you off, though the kamikaze drops are sure to get your pulse racing. Most of the bigger slides are designed for older children, teenagers and adults, with height requirements of around 120cm or a little more for the steepest ones. Lifeguards are always on hand at the top and bottom of each major slide, making sure everyone enjoys themselves safely.

Most families find themselves drawn to the middle ground between the big thrill slides and the toddler splash zone, and it is easy to see why. Here, you will find winding tube slides that offer longer, gentler runs, weaving through both open air and enclosed sections with wide, sweeping curves instead of sudden drops. These are perfect for children from about 100cm tall and up, and they are the sort of slides where everyone in the family can join in, taking turns without anyone feeling left out or overwhelmed. The family raft rides are always a favourite, letting two or three of you share a large inflatable ring as you glide down a broad channel with gentle turns and dips—just enough excitement to keep everyone smiling.

These slides are ideal if you have younger children who are keen to move on from the splash zone but are not quite ready for the bigger thrills. The winding body slides give you a taste of adventure, but with a softer gradient and plenty of curves, so you still get a bit of speed without anything too daunting. Children from around seven or eight years old usually manage these with confidence, and for those who are a little nervous, some of the family slides finish with a gentle runout instead of a plunge pool, making the whole experience much more approachable.

There is a wonderful variety in this middle section, and it is really where the park shines for families with children between about five and twelve years old. One of the bonuses is that queues for these slides are usually shorter than for the main thrill rides, especially later in the day when most visitors have already had their fill of the bigger slides in the morning.

The wave pool is always a highlight for families and visitors of all ages. It stretches out with a gentle slope, and every so often, you’ll hear the familiar sound of the horn that signals the start of the next wave. There’s a little moment of anticipation as everyone gets ready, waiting for the water to come alive.

The waves begin softly at the deep end, then gather strength as they roll towards the shallows. Little ones can safely stand and splash where the water is only ankle to knee deep, while adults often drift further out to float and enjoy the gentle rise and fall. It’s a space where everyone finds their own way to enjoy the water, whether you’re paddling at the edge or riding the waves out in the deeper section.

When the waves are rolling, there’s a wonderful sense of excitement in the air, with laughter and splashes all around. In between, the pool becomes a peaceful spot to cool off and simply float under the Lanzarote sun. Lifeguards are always nearby, keeping a careful eye on things, and families often gather on the sunbeds around the pool, enjoying the chance to relax while staying close to the fun.

The lazy river is the perfect way to unwind after the excitement of the slides. It meanders gently through a large part of the park, drifting under little bridges and past lush gardens, with the occasional slide overhead. You simply pick up a rubber ring at one of the entry points, settle in, and let the soft current do the rest.

A full loop usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes, though it can be a little longer if the park is busy. There’s no rush, and you’re welcome to stay on for as many laps as you like. The water is shallow in most places, usually waist to chest deep for adults, which makes it feel safe and easy-going. Families often enjoy sharing a double ring, and it’s a favourite with parents and grandparents who want to take in the sights without having to keep up with the younger ones.

As you float along, you’ll often find yourself gliding beneath the slide exits, watching others splash down with big smiles and laughter. On warm Lanzarote days, the lazy river is a favourite spot, and you might have to wait a moment for a ring during the busiest times. It may not sound like much at first, but for many of us who have spent the morning keeping up with energetic children, it quickly becomes a highlight of the day.

The children’s area here is a real favourite with families, especially those with little ones from toddlers up to around six years old, though you’ll often see older siblings joining in the fun as well. It’s a safe, enclosed space with its own shallow pool, gentle mini slides, water cannons, tipping buckets and playful mushroom fountains that keep the water flowing and the laughter going. The water is kept very shallow, usually no more than 30cm deep, so even the smallest visitors can sit and splash about with confidence. The slides are short, wide and designed for gentle landings, making them perfect for young children.

The tipping buckets are always a highlight, slowly filling up before sending a cascade of water down onto anyone brave enough to wait underneath, usually to the sound of excited squeals and laughter. The water cannons and spray arches add to the fun, giving children the chance to aim streams of water at each other or simply dash through the sprays. For the youngest visitors, the mushroom fountains offer a softer, gentler water feature, perfect for those who prefer a quieter splash.

The whole area is bright and cheerful, thoughtfully designed with young children in mind. Lifeguards are always on hand, keeping a watchful eye over the pool and play equipment, so parents can relax a little. You can sit comfortably at the edge of the splash zone and watch your children play, or join in the fun yourself if you fancy getting wet. The rubber flooring helps keep everyone safe from slips. It’s one of the reasons families with children of different ages find this park so appealing – the little ones can enjoy themselves here while older siblings or parents head off to try the bigger slides.

You’ll find sunbeds dotted all around the park, whether you prefer to be close to the action by the wave pool, tucked away on a grassy patch, or up on a terrace with a lovely view of the slides. The standard sunbeds are free, but they do go quickly, especially during the busy summer months. If you’re hoping for a spot in the shade or right by the pool, it’s worth arriving early when the gates open to secure your place before heading off to enjoy the slides. Like most water parks, it’s perfectly normal here to pop a towel down to reserve your sunbed for the day.

For those who like a little extra comfort, the park also offers VIP and premium areas with guaranteed sunbeds, plush loungers and shaded spots, often with Balinese-style beds and sometimes even a dedicated drinks service. These come at an extra cost, usually between 15 and 30 euros per bed, but they can be a great option for families or groups who want a relaxing base for the day without worrying about finding a spot. Shade is at a premium here, so don’t forget your sun cream. Some regulars bring their own small pop-up shelters, though the park may ask you to keep these away from busy walkways.

There is a main restaurant at the park, along with a handful of smaller snack kiosks dotted around the grounds. You will find all the usual favourites here: burgers, pizzas, chicken nuggets, chips, salads and other classic water park choices. The food is just what you need after a morning in the sun, with portions that are more than enough to satisfy hungry swimmers. Prices are a little higher than you would pay outside, as you might expect, but nothing too steep. For example, a burger and chips with a drink usually comes in between 8 and 12 euros.

If you are after something lighter, pizza slices and hot dogs are a good bet and a little easier on the wallet. The ice cream stands are always popular, especially on a warm Lanzarote afternoon, offering everything from cones and tubs to colourful ice lollies. For the grown-ups, the bar serves cold beer, cocktails, sangria and all the usual soft drinks. There is something special about relaxing by the pool with a chilled drink in hand while the children enjoy themselves. You will also find soft drinks, bottled water and juices at the various kiosks around the park.

You can usually bring your own water into the park, and I would recommend it, as you will definitely need to stay hydrated under the Lanzarote sun. Outside food is not generally allowed, and bags are sometimes checked at the entrance, so it is best to plan ahead. For safety, glass containers are not permitted anywhere on site. If you or your family have special dietary needs or picky eaters, it is a good idea to check the menu when you arrive, as the options tend to be fairly standard and may not suit every requirement.

The park really does welcome everyone, whatever their age or energy level. Little ones under six are usually happiest in the splash zone, where they can play safely for hours while parents relax nearby. For children between six and twelve, there is a wonderful mix of family slides, the wave pool, the lazy river and, of course, the splash zone, so there is always something to keep them smiling.

Teenagers tend to make a beeline for the thrill slides and the racer, and there is plenty here to keep them entertained all day long. Adults usually find themselves mixing it up, perhaps starting the day with a few slides before drifting along the lazy river or unwinding on a sunbed with a cool drink in hand. Grandparents and older visitors are well looked after too, with comfortable sunbeds, gentle floats along the lazy river, and the wave pool at its most peaceful.

The park is mostly flat, which makes it easy to get around with pushchairs or if you have limited mobility. Wheelchair users can reach the sunbed areas, restaurant and viewing spots, though the slides themselves do involve stairs up to the launch points. The wave pool is especially accessible, with a gentle slope that is much easier than a ladder. Facilities like changing rooms and toilets are conveniently located at the main entrance. For the bigger slides, there are minimum height requirements—usually 120cm for the main thrill slides and 140cm for the steepest ones. There is no upper age limit, and it is always lovely to see grandparents floating along the lazy river with their grandchildren.

For the 2026 season, tickets are €28.00 for adults and €19.00 for children, with little ones aged 0 to 3 enjoying free entry. Prices can change a little from year to year, so it is always worth checking the park’s website or popping by the ticket office for the latest rates. If you book online ahead of your visit, you will usually save a couple of euros and can stroll straight past the ticket queue when you arrive.

The park usually opens its gates at 10am and closes around 5 or 6 in the evening, with slightly longer hours during the height of summer. If you arrive as the doors open, you will find the slides blissfully quiet and plenty of sunbeds to choose from, giving you a peaceful start before things get busier later in the morning. Lockers are available to rent near the entrance, and I always recommend using one for your valuables, phone and wallet. There is a small deposit or rental fee, which you get back at the end of the day. You will also find changing rooms with showers at the main entrance. Do remember to bring your own towels, as these are not provided.

Sun cream is an absolute must here, and it is wise to put it on before you arrive and top it up throughout the day. Waterproof sun cream is your best friend, as you will be in and out of the water all day long. Water shoes are not essential, but they do make walking between the pools much more comfortable, especially when the concrete heats up under the Lanzarote sun. The park is just a 10-minute stroll from the main Costa Teguise beach area, about 15 minutes by car from Arrecife, and around 25 minutes from Puerto del Carmen. There is no direct bus to the entrance, but regular buses run to central Costa Teguise, and from there it is only a short walk.
