Once you reserve your ticket in the online store, you will have ten days to use it in the Aqualand. Therefore, you can buy your online ticket before you even embark on your Gran Canaria holiday and you will be able to use it as soon as you arrive on the island.
4. Adrenaline Fun rides are perfect for adults
There are plenty of slides designed for adults only. These slides are fast, fun, and you will be able to enjoy a thrilling adrenaline rush. Some of these rides include the ever popular Crazy Race where you can compete with your friends, and Mamut which is perfect for a large group of people.
5. Mini Park is for children
The safest rides and slides are in the Mini Park which is for children only. The youngest ones will have an opportunity to enjoy their own little part of Aqualand and experience awesome rides that are suitable for them. Polynesia rides are children friendly as well so make sure you check them out.
6. Swimming with sea lions
Aqualand is known for adding new and noteworthy attractions every season, and swimming with sea lions is one of the newer ones. You can swim or take photos with these beautiful animals and Aqualand instructors will be there to help you and keep you safe. This is a perfect activity for the entire family.
7. Discovery Beach
If you are craving the feeling of sand underneath your feet, you can head out to Discovery Beach which is a large wave pool located within this complex. It is perfect for light swimming, sunbathing, and relaxing while the waves splash the shallow part of this pool and cool you down.

Aqualand is not all about slides. You can also relax in the solarium while your family or friends are having fun in the water, or you can all go and play a round of mini golf. So if you get bored by the slides, you can always choose another engaging activity within the waterpark grounds.
9. Food and drink
