My children are 5 & 6 and wanted to experience a water park with slides. My eldest has just got to the point of having no armbands but cannot swim far, the youngest still with armbands. It was a fabulous hour and a half, we couldn’t review the black slide or the red slide because of the children’s abilities and confidence, but those had plenty of takers and helped divide the queues for the slides my children loved. The pool.itself was big enough to explore when away from sliding and we had tears from my daughter when our time was up. Several reviews suggested poor cleanliness, I did not witness this. The building and changing are not new but was fine. The staff throughout seemed attentive, and were helpful when needed. A really good day had and we will go back.

Great day out at Calypso Cove with my nieces who are 6 and 11 – they loved it. Great variety of pools and slides. I used to come here as a kid myself and the premise is the same, and still loads of fun. It was busy but we never had to wait too long for the slides. The changing area is a bit tired and although the cleaners were working hard there were areas that still smelt heavily of urine. Overall still a great day out.
