Plan your visit to Aqualand Maspalomas

How to visit Aqualand Maspalomas

Aqualand Maspalomas is easy to enjoy, but it is much smoother if you treat it like a proper day plan instead of a casual drop-in. The park opens daily from 10am to 5pm from September to June and 10am to 6pm in July and August. Last entry is 3:30pm from September to June and 4:30pm in July and August, while aquatic attractions close 30 minutes before park closing.

Because this is a waterpark, your visit depends on three things more than anything else: how early you get in, whether you want thrill rides or a slower family day, and whether you are willing to pay extra for things like lockers, loungers, parking, or fast passes. Your ticket gets you into the park and onto the slides, but several convenience extras are paid separately

Facilities and accessibility

  • Food and drink outlets are spread across the park, so you can grab meals, snacks, or drinks without leaving for long.
  • Lockers, sun loungers, parasols, and fast passes are available for an extra charge, so they’re worth budgeting for in advance.
  • Parking is available on-site for €5 per day, which is useful if you’re driving from Maspalomas, Meloneras, or nearby resort areas.
  • The sea lion experience is separate from regular entry and is only available as an optional paid extra, subject to availability.
  • The main park areas are wheelchair accessible, which helps if you want to move around the park without dealing with major barriers.
  • Not every attraction is suitable for every guest, so it is worth checking height and physical restrictions at each ride before queueing.
  • Children’s Paradise and Polynesia Park are the easiest sections for a gentler visit, especially if you’re skipping the high-thrill rides.

Rules and restrictions

  • Bring your ticket downloaded on your phone or printed before you leave, wear proper swimwear for the slides, and pack sunscreen and a towel for a full day outdoors. Your ticket terms also make it worth planning for extras like lockers or loungers in advance, since they are not included in regular entry.
  • Outside food and drinks are generally not allowed inside the park except in designated picnic areas, and glass is not allowed anywhere. GoPro-style cameras and phone cases are also not permitted on attractions, so it is better to leave them in your bag or at your hotel. This is especially important if you do not want delays at the slides.
  • Swimwear is required on the water attractions, and ride access depends on height and safety restrictions that vary by attraction. If you are visiting with children, it helps to head for the gentler areas first instead of assuming every ride will be suitable.
  • Your entry ticket gets you into the park, but it does not cover food, lockers, loungers, parasols, fast passes, parking, or the sea lion experience. That matters because these extras can add up quickly if you decide everything on the day.
Know the extra costs before you go

Your Aqualand Maspalomas ticket covers park entry and slide access, but several convenience extras are paid separately. Lockers, loungers, parasols, fast passes, parking, and the sea lion experience all cost more, so it is worth factoring those into your budget before the day starts.

Handy tips

  • Book early: Ticket prices vary by date, so earlier booking usually gives you access to the better rates.
  • Do not arrive late: Last entry is much earlier than park closing, so a late arrival can cut your day short fast.
  • Bring proper swimwear: Swimwear is required on water attractions, and anything else can stop you from using the rides.
  • Do not pack glass or picnic food loosely: Outside food and drinks are not allowed inside the park, except in designated picnic areas, and glass is not allowed anywhere.
  • Budget for extras: Lockers, loungers, parasols, fast passes, sea lion experiences, and parking all cost extra.
  • Leave action cameras off the rides: GoPro-style cameras and smartphone cases are not permitted on attractions.
  • Use the family zones smartly: Children’s Paradise and Polynesia Park are easier, more accessible parts of the park and work well when the bigger rides feel too intense.

What else is worth visiting nearby?

Palmitos Park

If you want a greener, slower-paced follow-up to a waterpark day, Palmitos Park is the easiest nearby pick. It is known for its aviary, dolphin presentations, botanical setting, and butterfly-orchid house, and it is also linked with Aqualand through the park’s 2 Parks Ticket.

Holiday World Maspalomas

Holiday World works well if you want an evening plan after a daytime attraction. It is a well-known leisure spot in Maspalomas with rides, family entertainment, and a different pace from the waterpark.

Maspalomas Dunes

If you want something iconic and outdoorsy without another ticketed attraction, the Maspalomas Dunes are an easy choice. They give you a completely different side of the area, especially around sunset when the landscape feels softer and less crowded. This is an inference based on the area’s major nearby attractions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Give it at least 4 to 6 hours if you want a proper waterpark day. The park is large enough to justify a full-day visit.
