Le Touquet Aqualud Water Park
AQUALUD WATER SPORTS CENTRE.
Le Touquet Beach. Housed under a huge glass pyramid the Aqualud water leisure centre is a giant pool with waves, ‘rocky’ slides, jacuzzis, solarium etc. There is also an outdoor section open in summer with 3 more pools, flumes and rides. The Black Hole and the Twister are great where the brave are ejected from the serpent’s mouth at 70 kilometres per hour and finish in a spinning centrifuge. The kids will love Rock River and the delights of the water cannon for shooting people in the pool.

The outdoor has a large terrace with sun beds and overlooks the sea. The all year-round water park is kept at a temperature of 27 degrees. There is a cafe inside that serves chips, burgers and sandwiches to keep your energy up on what can be an exausting day. Day or half day tickets are available, kids under 1m tall go Free.
The park isn’t always open every day in low season, so please check their www.aqualud.com for current opening times and prices.

Jimmy, Thank you for your comment. I am not sure i understand the question about the Aqualud. The pictures on the page are just still photographs, are you suggesting that it would be good to have some video of the
pool and rides etc?

Aqualud water park in France?
I’m going there on a school trip in a few weeks, I’m really nervous about it. Are there any maps of the park available to download? And has anyone actually been there? I’ve been on the website but, of course, it’s all in French and google translate doesn’t do a very good job! Also I can’t download the rules of the park from the website for some reason wo can anyone help with that??
Thanks in advance x

Hey i go there every summer, it’s really great. I’m not a big ride person, I’m a wimp really. All the rides are just big slides which you go down in, in rubber rings there are around 13 i’d say. All the slides are coloured rated with yellow and green the slow ones, these tend to hardly move at all and are more relaxing rides, you can only go on these in one-person rubber rings. Then there are reds, these are faster and longer and are higher-up and have height restrictions they look steep but honestly they really aren’t that bad and you have to go down them with 3 other people in a rubber ring. If you sit at the back its less scary but seriously don’t get put off by them they are so fun! Then there’s the black rides like the black hole, this is basically like the red ones but in the dark. The three scariest rides there are probably niagra- a ride in which you lie down on your stomach and go down a straight drop then it drags out for ages at the end until you slow down. Then there’s the wave- a half pipe in which you go down with three or two other people. you go really fast at the top then go up the other side this is also fun but scary at the beginning which goes in half a second, honest. The third scariest i went on with my gran! Its dark at the begining you swirl down this small tube then all of a sudden your out in the open and flying down a pretty steep slide which drags on until you slow down.
Theres also this massive pool with a wave machine thats comes on every hour for 10 mins. If you go close you get big waves if you stand far away you get small waves. There are life guards everywhere so don’t worry.
As for the safety/rules/regulations
There is 1 medical team for nearly every ride and there are life guards/ security guards everywhere. At the top of the slide and sometimes on the way up you’ll see life guards who will tell you when to go or how to sit or where to hold ect…the park is fantastic, it caters for everyone and the people are friendly.helpful and speak english.
Don’t worry just relax you’ll enjoy it!! You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to and its 100% safe.
Hope i helped and reassured you! have fun !

Yes they have a great small pool with about 6 inches of water with slides and water jets. It kept our small ones happy
for hours. They also went down some of the shutes in the rubber boats with us and were quite happy. The rapids are great for all the family whatever age.
Aqualud renovation news for 2010
http://www.french-holiday-lettings.com/2009/08/16/aqualud-renovations-spring-2010/
Hello,
I’m planning a day trip to France in October or November with my four-year-old daughter. She’s quite a daredevil and loves water parks.
The outside pool will be closed so will there be plenty for us to do indoors? Are there slides, flumes and so on indoors?
Also, do they have many height restrictions? In the UK they’re obsessed with that.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

There is plenty to do inside the Aqualud and half a day never seems to be quite enough for the children. There are slides, flumes, Jacuzzis, water canons and a wave machine in the main pool. The Aqualud also has a nice little children’s area, which is just like a kids playground but with 6 inches of water.
From memory the height restriction is 1.2m which gets a child in for free. The height restriction applies for children going on the flumes without supervision. However you can go down in a rubber boat for 2 on one of the flumes and also the rapids are great for children of all ages.
I hope this is useful in planning your trip. If you need some accommodation then please take a look at our Mascaret apartment which is in an ideal location for the Aqualud and all the other attractions in the centre of Le Touquet.
Regards
Richard
