 Aqualand
Somewhat to the south of the area, but the kids will love it!
Location:
At Gujan-Mestras on the south side of the Arcachon basin (west of Bordeaux).
General Info:
2007 prices €23.50 for an adult, €17 for infants. Open daily 6th
June 2007 - 2nd September from 10AM till 6PM (7PM in high season). Check their
website for more information.
Description: This is an excellent Aqualand theme park with a wide
variety of water based rides including a surf beach, various different
water flumes, rides on rubber rings, long rapids, jacuzzis and a gentle
water park for the younger visitor.
Our
recommendations: It’s worth arriving early as these water parks tend
to get busy later in the day. That way you'll get the best value
from the day. Don't forget to take plenty of strong sun tan lotion
and reapply it regularly!
For the
children: Well if they are above the age of 10 and confident with
water you'll probably lose them for the day here - so take a picnic and
a good book to read!
