    Had a Brilliant time. But I think Β£84 for a family of four for three hours is a little expensive. The last hour we was in there was extremely busy. queued for 35 minutes to get a one slide. Find it very hard to believe you're running at reduced capacity it would be impossible to get any more people in.

    I'd of enjoyed it here a lot more if it wasn't so badly packed. I think it's kinda dangerous to have that many people in a water park where there is a wave pool. My 6 year old girl was kinda bored because all the big slides were for bigger kids/adults. And I just stood and watched her on the smaller slides. I'd definitely go back but just not if it's packed.

    Much better than expected. A lot less crowded than I thought and plenty of slides. We didn't queue more than 5 minutes for any of them. Only downside is the changing rooms are FREEZING so be warned

    It's a good places to go but not well catered for kids under 1.1metres and my son is 5yrs old. Yet at alton towers in that water park he was allowed to go in rubber ring rides with me. So if you have small kids no point going in just yet.

    We came to Blackpool last week for a holiday. We booked the 9am session, you get 3hrs in there. It wasn't overly crowded so got on the slides with no queue, plenty of space to swim but by 10:30am it was packed.. Couldn't move. They do wristbands for lockers & to do cashless purchases in the cafe. Any monies left will be refunded. My youngest was a few cm's to short to ride some slides. But we enjoyed our time. Quite expensive for a family of 4.. Overall it was good.

    Me and my cousins booked the waterpark for Nov 2021 and had a thoroughly enjoyable experience even though we had seen the negative reviews on google. This place wasn't overcrowded, roughly a 10min queue for the big rides but this was during winter season. Also, i couldn't count 18 slides???

    Fun water park. Lots of slides and rides and fun. Easy to spend 3 hours going non-stop except for the queues... Pretty hefty queues for the big rides, but worth it! The kids loved the lazy river and wave pool in particular. Didn't bother trying to eat or drink whilst in the park so personally I wouldn't bother with splash cash (we just got ours refunded at the end). Just make sure you're fuelled up and go and enjoy the water activities!!

    Hubby and teenage children loved the water slides, queues manageable, as booked time slots to prevent over crowding. Water warm, good wave machine. A lovely cafe with food and drink menu for those choosing not to swim. Well priced, excellent wristband for lockers and wristband for food and drink purchases. Will definitely return.

    Great way to spend a few hours. It was school holidays/Sunday when I went so was very busy! It was reassuring to see the staff being very attentive with safety. Mobile phone not allowed inside for obvious reasons. Book in advance. Electronic locker system was a little fiddly. Food and drink available inside, you can buy a wristband instead of taking cash/card in.

    Visited this place on our first trip to Blackpool by chance and we found it amazing, so a year later we visited Blackpool once again entirely to visit this place once again. I have read many reviews regarding it being busy but I can imagine it being so during the summer periods but we visited during off season twice and it was brilliant!!!!! The staff are all good and very helpful and it seriously is non stop fun especially with children. There is a in house restaurant/bar area for little pit stops during all the playing in the heart of all the swimming pools and the benefit of it being indoors unlike going abroad to outdoor water parks is no worry about sunburn or weather getting chilly towards the evening as it is always warm inside and obviously no sun so saves the uncomfortable hats and sun cream for the kids. Little bit pricey entry and food is a little high as well but prices like this are to be expected in establishments of this calibre as you can imagine there over heads must be extortionate. Would definitely recommend to anyone πŸ‘

    You have to buy your tickets in advance to avoid disappointment. If you are in a position to be there for 9am, please do, as there were literally no queues for the rides. By 11am the place was packed and when we left just after 12pm the enormous car par was full. The pool area and changing facilities were clean, which is always a bounus in places like this. 3h slot is just right and should allow you to try all the slides and rides. Cafe at the pool area is reasonably priced and has anything from chips, burgers to jacket potatoes. Temperature inside was just right, allowing you to have a snack or drink without feeling cold. It was our second visit, definitely worth driving 1.5h, and I have no doubt we will be back soon again. Staff was polite and welcoming.

    Plenty to do The kids loved it, The only issue i had was that my daughter is 8 years old and quite small for her age so she wasn't allowed on most of the slides, she was quite upset by this but thats the rules, so if your kids are quite small for there age them make sure they are taller than the height restrictions for the rides as they won't be able to go on most of them but apart from that would definitely go again, water was fine and warm also.

    Enjoyed our day at sandcastles, the booking and the process was easy! The changing rooms were clean and had enough facilities for everyone to use! The pool it’s self was again clean! Lots to do you can easily spend 2-3 hours there. Food was not the best it wasn’t the worst but I would get food from elsewhere if I went again! The waves, whirlpool, splash zone and slides are all fantastic and the queueing system is quite fast!

    First visit today 26.7.23 with my and 2 children ages 5 &4, we all had the best time. We had a times lot for 12.00, my children were eager to get in the park and they let us in at 11.30 till 2.30 which was nice. Staff were really friendly, even one off the staff in the pools went to my son as he was upset (because I took his sister on a big slide and mummy was scared to join us) she went and gave him comfort and took him on the slide with her, which was super nice so thank you (sorry we didn't get her name). The park has plenty of changing rooms and toilets. As well as a cafe inside reception and one in the water park. Good prices to may I add. Plenty of lifeguards (which you expect) but the presence of a lot of them made you feel extra safe. The park was busy as expected buy it didn't feel over crowded or hassle and bustle. The waterpark is a must when visiting Blackpool, there is so much fun for the whole family, and 3 hours is a long time when your in there. Thank you for great memories we have made with my family.

    First visit to this brilliant Waterpark with 10 & 13yr old. Busy as you would expect on a wet day in Easter hols, but arrived for 9.30am and got round all big slides in an hour. Great theming, very helpful staff & queues kept moving. Pool and surrounding temp warm. Plenty of poolside seating & toilets. Electronic tag lockers, large changing area and hot showers. Cafe with tea/coffee & snacks.

    Absolutely brilliant! So much fun. Plenty of slides & rides for all ages! There is so much more here than The Alpamare in Bridlington. Can't recommend it enough. X πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

    I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the Sandcastle Waterpark; it was a fantastic experience filled with laughter and joy. Although the long queues were a bit disappointing, it didn't diminish the overall greatness of the experience. I wholeheartedly recommend visiting the waterpark for an unforgettable and fun-filled time. "the spa is absolutely rubbish, don't waste your money"

    Good place to have some fun. Not many rides,only around 6 or 7 for adults So don’t expect much. I would say its good for families to enjoy together. Each session is 3 hours only

  • 5/5 Kerryann P. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved loved loved. They provide life jackets for the kids so you don't need to take armbands etc . The rides were adult and kid friendly. Plenty for the whole family to do. We would travel just down to Blackpool to do this was a great day and the 3 hours allocated time slot goes very quickly you don't really feel like you have been there 3 hours.

  • 5/5 Laszlo R. 1 year ago on Google
    paid 32Β£ pp, spa inclided for a 3 hour session(3.5 if you buy food). Long slides, wave pool, kids pool, lazy pool , you name it, it's all there. Highly recommend to visit!

  • 4/5 J L. 1 year ago on Google
    Booked it online we had a great time niece loved it. Some rides they wouldn’t let her on due to being unable to be a strong swimmer. But let her on others so not really sure what the difference is as the other one was a bigger slide. Food was ok but wouldn’t rush back to get anything if we visit again. The whole process was easy though

  • 4/5 Helen Ward T. 9 months ago on Google
    For just two adults attending, this was still enjoyable as we are two very goofy people who can enjoy almost anything together. The facilities were clean and tidy. We also got the spa pass, which was nice to get away from the children now and again. The rides are actually very fun! But be prepared to wait in many queses! It is a fun activity and is perfect for people with children!

  • 5/5 Sharon C. 2 years ago on Google
    I was in two minds, as this wasn't a cheap morning of fun, but it was worth every penny. The whole family had an awesome time! Definitely worth getting there first thing if you have small children as its quieter. The free life jackets are wonderful for non-swimmers ... so much better than arm bands. Highly recommend!

  • 4/5 Kellies J. 5 months ago on Google
    The only fault I have was information. I'm deaf and disabled i was shown to disabled chaging room then explained to after I took aids to my locker, so I couldn't hear what was said. I made my way into the park after 30 I came back as I asked for hottub/Jacuzzi told it would cost an extra 7. I made my way to the little shop as told to buy spa purple band. To then make my way around the spa to reach end no hot tub asked again to then be told that's a completely separate experience. As I disabled guests, this was what I was looking forward to heat and bubbles. Told it was a vip I asked how I pay for that wasn't available should be booked online. But I don't think all that was very clear marked or I would have purchased that package. Other than that it was great

  • 4/5 Keisha G. 6 months ago on Google
    Brilliant place to take the kids. Plenty of water slides, wave pool, rapids. Slides for under 5's. Cafe on site, spa facilities. Booking online before visit is recommended.

  • 5/5 T L. 8 months ago on Google
    Very busy yet very nice. There are rides which I haven’t been anywhere else in UK. It does get busy but booking the last couple time slots will help you get better and quicker access to rides. My children loved it. It’s a bit pricey but definitely worth a first visit.

  • 5/5 Lozzas c. 8 months ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing , 12 weeks pregnant so didn't go on slides but still had the time of my life , worth the price , best to book at busy times like summer holidays , can't wait to go back πŸ˜€

  • 5/5 Keula L. 8 months ago on Google
    Perfect place to spend a few hours with the kids. Unfortunately, we did not have enough time to ride all water rides because of the queue in each one. Some of them were 5 to 10 minutes, waiting till your turn but worth the wait. You will have a swimming pool with a good size for swimmers and non swimmers, they turn the waves on and off for a few times. They will give you a bracelet locker key for your belongings before you enter the rides' premises. You will have a lot of seats to rest and a cafe bar if you want to eat. Friendly staff.
