Aqualand Maspalomas Tickets: Prices, Slides & Smart Booking Tips

Inside Aqualand Maspalomas: what you’re paying for

Aqualand Maspalomas is run by Aspro Parks, the group behind the other Aqualand parks in Spain, and sits a short drive inland from Maspalomas and Playa del Inglés in the south of Gran Canaria. The appeal is simple: a full set of slides in year-round sunshine, a big wave pool, and dedicated children’s areas. It’s one of the few things in the resort strip that suits a whole family for a whole day.

The attractions fall into four groups:

• Adrenaline Fun — Kamikaze (twin parallel speed slides for racing a friend), Tsunami (a steep drop on a float, solo or in pairs), The Spiral, Snake Falls, Speed Boats, the Water Labyrinth, which starts in enclosed tubes and finishes on multi-lane racer mats, and Racer Twin Turbolance, billed by the park as one of Europe’s biggest slides. All need riders of at least 1.20 m.
• Family raft rides — Banzai, the park’s biggest slide, for three-person rafts; Anaconda, a 200 m four-person slide; Hurakan, a double-ring tornado slide; Misol-ha; and Tukakame, a single-ring rapids ride from 1 m.
• Family and chill-out — Discovery Beach, the wave pool with waves every hour; Pirate’s River, a lazy river in rings for up to three people, with no minimum height for children riding with an adult (the one ride the whole family can share); and a hydromassage area.
• Kidzworld — Skull Bay, the newest children’s zone, with slides, water arches and waterfalls; Polynesia, with a tipping bucket; and Adventure Land, with eight children’s slides including the Multiracer (0.90–1.50 m).

Who suits it? Families with children from about 4 to 14 get the best value, because most raft slides let 1.00–1.20 m children ride with an adult. Thrill-seekers will enjoy it, but the island has nothing on the scale of Tenerife’s Siam Park — if you’re comparing islands, see the Tenerife water parks guide.

Timing is everything

• Hours: open every day, 10:00–17:00, extended to 18:00 in July and August. Slides close 30 minutes before the park, so a 17:00 day really ends at 16:30.
• Quietest: midweek outside school holidays. Gran Canaria’s high season runs from late autumn to spring, so the park draws crowds in winter as well as summer. The busiest days follow the school calendars of Spain, the UK, Germany and the Nordic countries.
• Weather: the south is sunny most of the year, but winter mornings can be cool and breezy. Pack a warm layer for between slides on cooler days.
• On the day: be at the gate at 10:00 and ride the big slides — Banzai, Kamikaze and Tsunami — before the queues build. Then spend the busy middle of the day on the lazy river and in the wave pool.

Insider tip: Wear or bring water shoes. The park recommends them on every slide, and they save your feet on sun-warmed paths between rides.

How to save on tickets

• Book dated tickets online. The official online price starts around €32 for adults, against €41 at the box office, and varies by date. GetYourGuide lists entry from €41 — handy if you’re booking transfers or other island trips in the same basket.
• Have your ticket ready on arrival. Download the mobile ticket or print the PDF before you leave. If you can’t show it, the park charges the difference between the online and box-office price.
• Check the child categories. Children aged 5–10 pay €31 at the box office or from €22 online, toddlers (3–4) pay €17, and under-3s are free. Over-65s pay the child rate.
• Families of four: the online-only Family Pack (2 adults + 2 children) starts at €106, and the Friends Pack (4 adults) at €126. Neither can be used on the day you buy it.
• Two days or two parks: a 2-day ticket costs from €53 online. The 2 Parks Ticket (€62 adult) adds Palmitos Park, the bird, dolphin and botanical park in a nearby ravine.
• Canary Islands residents get much lower prices with an original island residence ID.

Practical details before you go

• What to wear: swimwear only on the water attractions. Non-denim clothing without rigid or metal parts is fine on the rides, and water shoes are recommended everywhere.
• Cameras and phones: the park rules ban smartphone cases and GoPro-style cameras on the attractions, and selfie sticks are not allowed. The park sells its own ride photos (Aquaphoto) if you want a souvenir.
• Food: you can bring your own food and drink, without glass, and picnic in the designated areas. Inside there’s a self-service restaurant, cafeterias, snack and ice-cream stands, a terrace restaurant and the new La Cantina.
• Sunbeds and lockers are extra, so budget a little on top of your ticket. Sunbeds must stay in their allocated areas.
• Forgot something? The shop sells swimwear, sun cream, towels, armbands and footwear.
• Ticket validity: dated tickets are valid only on the chosen date. Undated online products are valid for 90 days from purchase, and the product description shows the exact terms.
• Groups of 20 or more get group prices with a written reservation confirmed by the park. Contact the park directly for details.
• Season Pass: at €120 for adults, it pays for itself after about three visits at box-office prices — worth it for a long winter stay in the south.

Getting there without the hassle

• By bus: Global bus line 45 serves Playa del Inglés, Bahía Feliz and San Agustín. Line 70 links Puerto de Mogán, Puerto Rico and Faro de Maspalomas with the park.
• By car: there’s private parking at the park. From Maspalomas or Playa del Inglés it’s a short drive inland. From the north of the island, use the GC-1 motorway.
• By air: Gran Canaria Airport (LPA), on the east coast, is roughly 30–40 minutes by car.

Make it a trip

• Palmitos Park is the natural pairing on the 2 Parks Ticket. It sits in the Barranco de Los Palmitos, a ravine of volcanic rock walls and palms, and adds a Cactus Garden, an Orchid House, an aquarium, and birds of prey and dolphin presentations. It’s a shadier, slower day after the slides.
• Maspalomas Dunes, the protected dune field by the lighthouse, is right on the coast below the park.
• Island-hopping? Tenerife has Siam Park, Aqualand Costa Adeje and Loro Parque, all compared in the Tenerife water parks guide.

More Spanish parks are on the Spain destination hub, and the water parks hub covers the rest of Europe.
