Water parks are a favorite pastime for many children and their parents. How could it be otherwise, because winding slides, rafting, crazy rides bring a lot of positive emotions and make the rest unforgettable!
More modern water parks are equipped with devices for artificially pumping waves in the pool – visitors regard this positively. Most water parks are outdoors, but indoors also exist, such as the infamous Transvaal Park…
Water parks first appeared in the 50s, today entertainment complexes occupy a leading position in the world in terms of number (more than 1000), as well as profitability and infrastructure.
So, if you love water activities and have always dreamed of visiting the largest water park in Russia, we will conduct a virtual tour for you! Who knows, maybe one day you will visit (or have already been) one of them.
10 Riviera
Location: Kazan
Waterpark Riviera, which is located in Kazan, is the most popular water park in the Volga Federal District. It is visited not only by residents of the city, but also by tourists who come from neighboring republics and regions. But, of course, people come here not only for the sake of the water park – there are a lot of sights in Kazan.
The Riviera was built about 15 years ago, and during its existence managed to receive many awards, in 2011, for example, he was given the Golden Pony awards, and in 2010, according to Fordes, the Riviera Park was recognized as the most remarkable on the entire planet.
The water park is divided into two zones: one part is located in the open air, and the second is in the building, which pleases – the closed zone is open all year round.
9. Moreon
Location: Moscow
A visit to the water park is a great idea for the whole family, plus Moreon meets all requirements. The water park has a large parking lot, which is good – there are not so many people here (most people do not like to crowd in lines), services for every taste and democratic prices for them.
What is there in Moreon: saunas, baths – for every taste and color, pools where you can spend time with pleasure. Slides, for which water parks are usually visited, are standard, but there is a trick here – three slides go out into the street with pipes, because of this it is much more comfortable to be indoors.
In general, the water park area is of a good level, however, experienced visitors should not expect a “wow” effect from the slides.
8. Tick-Tuck
Location: Anapa
I would like to start with the advantages, we will move on to the disadvantages later (they are insignificant, but still there). Tick-Tuck – a wonderful water park, you can choose from: more than 10 steep slides, 6 swimming pools and a large children’s playground.
Foam discos are regularly held here, you can take pictures on the phone on the territory (but not in the pool itself). From the pools (the same with slides) with phones are not allowed. At the beginning of the day, the water temperature is 22-24 degrees, it should be borne in mind that it is not heated – this is a minus.
During the day, the water is heated naturally – from the sun’s rays. Another disadvantage is the queues that gather at the slides.
7. Aqualoo
Location: Sochi
Visiting the water park in Sochi Aqualoo seems like a real holiday to visitors! By the way, birthday people do not need to pay for admission, because. Since the water park is connected with the sanatorium, vacationers in it also do not need to pay an entrance fee. You can stay in the water park as long as you want, and it’s completely free.
Aqualoo is located on two floors: on the first floor there is a buffet, a swimming pool (regular classes are held there with an aerobics instructor). Opposite the pool there is another pool – for those who go down the slides (there are four of them in the indoor water park).
Here, on the first floor, there are 2 saunas – a great opportunity to warm up after water activities. On the first floor there are other types of pools, but on the second floor everything looks more modest – only one pool with hydromassage and cascades. There is also a sauna and a children’s room with entertainment.
6. Aquamir

The water park is quite large – at the entrance to the aqua zone you can immediately see a large wave pool – the water in it is wonderful! Warm, comfortable for the body.
The slides that are here are designed for adults and children over 8 years old. They are quite long – for an indoor water park, for example, the largest is 150 meters. There are small ones for cowards, steep ones for extreme sportsmen.
Visitors to the water park experience special pleasure while staying in the thermal zone, because it is a complex of Turkish, Finnish and Russian baths, and it also has pools and a jacuzzi.
5. Banana republic
Location: Crimea
Waterpark Banana republic located between the cities of Saki and Evpatoria. Its location is very convenient – since the park was built next to the highway, it will definitely not be possible to pass by.
There is a strange rule in the water park – there is free admission for children who are not taller than 90 cm. By the way, a wonderful entertainment area is organized for children.
There are slides for kids and adults. One of them, called “Toilet” is quite interesting – first there is a steep descent for the development of speed, and then a person moves in a circle, after which he falls into a round hole.
There is always a queue for indoor slides, because riding them is a pleasure!
4. Peterland
Location: St. Petersburg
There are only 3 water parks in St. Petersburg, but guests of the capital and residents of the city like Peterland. How? Let’s try to figure it out. Firstly, it is the largest, secondly, there are interesting slides, a large wave pool, a diving pool (for an additional fee you can even go scuba diving), thirdly, there is a jacuzzi and a pool with warm water, which makes the guests so happy.
For children in Peterland there is a large children’s complex, similar to those that stand in the yards.

For an additional fee, you can sunbathe in the solarium, have a massage, sit in a cedar phyto barrel, etc.
