Experience the Excitement of Benidorm: Aqualandia Water Park with Optional Mundomar Combo
If you’re planning a trip to Benidorm in the Valencian Community, a visit to Aqualandia is a must for anyone craving a full day of splashy fun. With tickets starting from a modest price and options to visit the Mundomar Marine and Exotic Animal Park on separate days, this combo offers great flexibility. The Aqualandia water park is celebrated for its impressive array of attractions, including over 20 water rides and a new thrill ride called Cyclon. The experience is designed to appeal to families, thrill-seekers, and anyone looking to cool off in style.
Two things we particularly like are the diverse water attractions — from lazy rivers to adrenaline-pumping slides — and the well-organized layout that makes navigation a breeze, even on busy days. The park’s carefully maintained facilities and friendly staff add to the relaxed vibe.
However, a potential downside is that some slides can attract long queues, especially during peak times in summer. If you’re visiting during the busy season, patience might be required for the most popular rides.
This experience suits travelers who enjoy outdoor activities, appreciate value for money, and want a family-friendly environment that offers both excitement and relaxation. It’s particularly excellent for those who enjoy diverse attractions and are ready to spend a full day in the sun.

A Closer Look at Benidorm’s Aqualandia Water Park and Mundomar
If you’re after a fun-filled day on the water, Aqualandia delivers more than just a splash in the pool. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with an expansive park filled with slides, pools, and lounging areas. The main draw is the sheer number of rides—more than 20, including various types of slides, wave pools, and lazy rivers designed for relaxing or getting your heart pounding.
The Rides and Attractions
We loved the diversity of water rides, which makes it easy to find something that suits your mood. For thrill-seekers, the Cyclon stands out as the newest and most exhilarating. Advertised as a zero-gravity ride, it promises a mix of adrenaline and fun. Although some reviews mention long queues, many guests find the wait worthwhile for the thrills and the stunning views from the slides.
For those who prefer something calmer, the lazy river and wave pools are perfect for families or relaxing afternoons. Water sourced directly from the sea means the water stays brisk unless you’re sunbathing elsewhere, which adds to the refreshing experience.
Dining and Amenities
You’ll find self-serve restaurants scattered around the park, offering a variety of foods — from pizza and burgers to barbecue and crepes. We appreciate the options for all tastes, making it easier to keep everyone happy. Picnic areas are available if you prefer to bring your own food, which is a smart move to save some euros.
Additional amenities include photo booths, souvenir shops, and floats (available at extra cost). Showers, toilets, changing rooms, and lockers are conveniently located, although lockers come with an extra fee. You might find the wait for popular rides lengthy during peak times, but early mornings or late afternoons tend to be quieter.
More Great Tours NearbyThe Mundomar Addition
Choosing the combo ticket unlocks access to Mundomar, a marine and exotic animal park. Guests rave about dolphin shows and the chance to see different species of mammals, birds, and reptiles. Though some reviews note the smaller size compared to other parks, the interactive animal experiences and photo opportunities make it a worthwhile addition. Visitors report feeling they got good value, especially when splitting their time between the two parks.
What To Expect on Your Visit
Your day begins early, especially if you want to avoid queues for the most popular rides. Opening hours are from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with extended hours during the summer (up to 8:00 PM). We recommend arriving at opening time to maximize your fun and minimize waits.
Once inside, you’ll find a well-organized map that makes exploring easy. The park is clean and safe, with attentive lifeguards keeping an eye on the water attractions. Some guests mention that the queuing times can get lengthy, particularly for the Cyclon slide, which sometimes requires four people to ride together.
You’ll love the variety of shaded areas and sunbathing spots, especially if you’re visiting on a hot day. Many reviewers praise the friendly staff and the safety measures in place, making it a comfortable environment for families with children.
For Families and Kids
Kids under 4 enter free when accompanied by an adult, which makes it especially attractive for families. The small pools and shallow areas are ideal for little ones, while older children and teenagers will enjoy the thrill rides. The park’s layout facilitates supervision, and staff are quick to assist if needed.
For Thrill Seekers
The Cyclon slide is the star attraction for adrenaline junkies. Expect long lines on busy days, but many say the experience is worth the wait. Be aware that some rides have restrictions—pregnant women and individuals with heart problems or plaster casts are advised not to ride.
Cost and Value
Tickets start at a reasonable price, and many reviews feel the cost is justified given the size and variety of the park. Extra expenses like lockers, floats, and sunbeds are at additional costs, so planning ahead can help manage your budget. Bring your own food and drinks (avoiding cans and glass) to save money, or enjoy the diverse options at the self-serve restaurants.
Who Should Consider This Experience?
This water park is perfect for families with children, groups of friends, or couples looking for a fun day outdoors. People who enjoy diverse water rides and relaxing pools will find plenty to do. If you’re someone who doesn’t mind long queues during peak times, you’ll find the experience a great value. For those seeking a more peaceful or less crowded experience, visiting early or late in the day is recommended.
