If you are heading out on recession beating a family holiday to any of the Balearics this year, try to make sure you get yourself over to one of these awesome waterparks.There is nothing more enjoyable than cooling off in a water park, especially when the sun is blazing. Its also quite a fun way to cool down.

Aqualand - Magaluf, Mallorca
This park is massive.With more than 15 slides and many other attractions, when you’re visiting Majorca and are in the west side of the island you need to visit this awesome park.  From unique slides like the boomerang, black hole and the tornado to the super slaloms and the 8 lane ‘multi-pistas’ there is an attraction for all.They even have a wave pool that can create 1m high waves, also there is a Congo river ride for the people that just want to relax.  For the younger children there is the mini park catering in smaller versions of some of the grown up slides

Hidropark - Alcudia, Mallorca
If you are over the east of the island you have the Hidropark in Alcudia.Hidropark is a smaller park than Aqualand but has plenty of slides. You really should try the kamikaze although its not one for the faint hearted.  This park has nothing on Aqualand so if it’s in your budget, I would try to get to the other side of the island and experience the sheer size of the Aqualand.

Aguamar - Playa den Bossa, Ibiza

The White Isle has two worthy waterparks the first, and larger of the two is the Aguamar located just 15 minute bus drive from Ibiza town.  The Aguamar has many slides all will depend how daring you are feeling in your quest to cool down.  There are around seven types of slides as well as your relaxing rubber ring style slides.There is also one that other people describe as the high and fast one.This slide is not for the faint hearted.

Agualandia – Talamanca, Ibiza
Close by to the quieter and more family oriented resort of Talamanca lies Aqualandia.  Aqualandia is smaller than the Aguamar and caters more for children with many more children’s slides and lots of sheltered areas.Aqualandia has the very fun multiple lane slides and also the twisty inflatable slides.This is on of the most family friendly waterparks in Ibiza.

Aquacenter - Los Delfines, Menorca

Family friendly Aquacenter in Los Delfines has many attractions for the whole family to get splashing.The Giant Toboggan and the Black Hole are by far the top highlights of this park.They also have the rides that all water parks have like multi lane slides for the whole family to race to the finish. There is also a Jacuzzi for the adults to be away from the childrens areas.

Aquarock – Cala’n Bosch, Menorca
The main attraction in Aquarocks is their kamikaze slide.  For the more adventurous slider in you, this slide will pummel you into the water at a cracking rate.  As with most of the parks listed here this too caters for your family with a dedicated children’s area with smaller versions of the adult slides for maximum family fun.If water is not really your sort of thing there is always the go kart for you.
