Over 2,900 reviews for Calypso Cove Waterpark
Not something special. Very limited area. Too much rules. The bathroom not enough. Very expensive for the service.
Metrodome Waterpark is a fantastic spot for family fun and excitement. The park offers a variety of attractions, from thrilling water slides to relaxing pools, making it suitable for all ages. The lazy river is perfect for those looking to unwind, while the wave pool adds a fun, beach-like experience. For younger visitors, there’s a designated area with smaller slides and water features, ensuring everyone can enjoy the water safely.The facility is clean, well-maintained, and staffed with attentive lifeguards, making it feel safe and welcoming. There are plenty of seating areas for those who want to relax between activities, and the café offers a good selection of snacks and refreshments.The only downside is that the park can get quite busy, especially during weekends and school holidays, so it’s best to arrive early to secure a spot. Overall, Metrodome Waterpark provides a fun, affordable day out for families and is a great place to beat the heat.
Absolutely loved our day here. The lazy river is so much fun with family and a few rides but spectacular. Well maintained and friendly staff. I would DEFINITELY visit again. Do have a feedback though, the changing rooms get too cold, I noticed my 4 year old shivering within 5 mins of entering it. They should maintain the temperature there. Unfortunately no photos allowed. Would have loved to have some.
There’s a lot to enjoy. I think adults will have fun too, along with the kids.
Great venue for all kinds of events ours was a charity event for he local hospice.
Very hit and miss, has the potential to be a great place but just lacking the motivation to do so, rather ironic for a fitness leisure centre.
Great food and reasonably priced, small pool for children with a large pool/ wave pool and diving pool,various water slides as well.
6-7 rides but enough to cover the cost. Very good water park covering all amenities.
Went at 3:30 on a Sunday, not too busy, short queues for the slides and kids loved it 👍
Great fun , good parking facilities, 2nd time here, I took 7 and 8 year old grandsons for the slide 1.20 height is the guild line . Fantastic slides and driving boards ( watch that belly flop it hurts) not on the website is a key to the wristbands which show you the colour of your stay I learnt it was an hour and a half but this isn’t mentioned on the website anywhere.
Fantastic day out for the family. Not over priced for the swimming and they limit the amount of people in the pool at any one time so it’s not overly crowded.Great slides, wave machine, children’s pool is real big with lots to do.In the centre there is an arcade and bowling alley we didn’t use them but they looked really good.On site restaurants serving a verity of foot there is a burger restaurant and a fish and chips restaurant.Great day out for all the family.
Great place. My daughter loves it here. Is £10 for 1.5 hours worth it. I think so.
The children loved it but the small cubicles and long queue for the slides made it less of a good experience.
The experience was awful from start to finish. The food was terrible, with nothing enjoyable on the menu. The slides were shut, which was a huge letdown, and the wave pool was slow and completely disappointing. The place was overcrowded, making it impossible to enjoy anything, and the wait times were ridiculously long. Overall, it was a miserable visit, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.
We enjoyed our time there.It got busy quickly, so I would recommend going earlier in the day.Was a bit expensive for only 1hr 30min.Would like to have had more time in there because with one of the slides closed and the top diving board closed which made the wait time for the other slides/diving boards longer (eating up alot of your time there)Pound for the locker, which you do get back (if it doesn’t get stuck like mine did)Overall, it’s a nice treat to go but couldn’t afford to do often.
Was really enjoyable, they have amazing and decorative swimming pools that take your breath away good for both kids and adults due to the versatility of slides, diving boards and competitive pools. Although I had an issue with the staff as I am a a fairly decent swimmer and can do multiple length laps but was restricted to one of the slides without asking if I was a confident swimmer for an unknown reason
Good little spot for taking the kids if you live within an hour, good value for money, gets a lot of hype but wasn’t extraordinary. Toddler area perfect for younger ones. Not a lot for in-between toddler and about 7-8 year Olds. 90 min slot goes quick so make the most of it.
Went with a disabled child, who uses a kyle walker, had a very good experience. All the staff were lovely. I asked the receptionist if i could go down a few minutes earlier as it takes time to get my disabled child changed, she was very helpful, even informed of my of the lift available. The staff around the pool were great and kept an eye on my sons walker whilst he was in the pool. It was busy but that was expected because of school holidays. The changing room was very good and a good size for us. Would highly recomend. We booked tickets on line and you have a time slot.
Luckily found parking and minimal wait time at reception to get into the Waterpark, We had a fun day out in the toddler splash area, the temperature was perfect and there was enough features to entertain my two year old. The toilets were pretty unclean so wear swim y socks but the changing rooms were fine with a lot of cleaners accessing the areas and cleaning them. My only issue with the day was I took a swim float with a canopy attached for my two year old and she had a lot of fun in it, whilst we exited the kids area to shower and change I placed the float on top of the lockers as I noticed a few other people had done the same, we got changed in the booth and came out to my astonishment someone had stolen my daughter’s float. I was appalled! I went everywhere across the Waterpark to search for it and there was a lovely staff member who had assisted me in searching for it with no luck. It really ruined my experience! I’m so disgusted that there are people like this around anyway I guess look out for your personal possessions.
you really need to buy tickets in advance. Pool is showing a little of it’s age but still reasonably clean .food was good value for money. Would recommend that they season the burgers with a little salt as they had a good texture but the salt before cooking would bring a little more flavour out overall I would recommend
Had a great time in the pool, grandchildren loved every minute. No ques on slides, wave pool was fun. Every staff member we interacted with were friendly and helpful.
Kids loved it. I thought it was expensive and the place has seen better days. Its a bit tatty poolside. Changing area is fine but no hairdryers or seating. Needs investment. Certainly wouldn’t become a member. Also booking has to he done online which incurs a booking fee.
Great water park,kids love it,not to over crowded,even when at full capacity
Big parking area. Very interesting for kids and once to visit for adults. Cafe. Drink machines. Shop to buy swimming clothes and swimming goggles.
Took my 7 year old today, first time anywhere with slides etc, within 5min he says with a massive grin “Daddy, I love it here!” Decent price, nice and clean, great atmosphere. All in all, spot on.4 stars is a great review, I think it would need a few more slides/activities to make it 5. Excellent time all in all
Very busy, showing it’s age but good fun and well run, slides, wave pool, normal pool and diving board to boot
Very expensive to go if you are a family of 4 or more it would be cheaper to go yo the coast
One of the amazing places i have ever visited and friendly staff and nice environment
Nice water park, a bit busy and too many people for the space available. Water is a little too cold in some pools.There is a designated baby zone.You have to book in advance to enter the water park. It was around £30 for two adults and a child, which I think is quite much but it’s a good experience.Overall it’s ok 👌
Amazing place. For kids and adults . The only thing they don’t provide shampoo and towel.
Seriously need to book and expect long queues. Best to go as early as you can in the day. They do 1.5 or 3 hour slots, 1.5 is enough time. If you can spend 3 hours there, their is something wrong with you.
The Little Fins sessions are great opportunities for babies and very young children to enjoy the pools in a quieter and less chaotic environment. Our 2 year old enjoyed herself very much without having to compete against much older children. £15 for 2 x adults and 1 x child is fairly reasonable too.I myself have been visiting Metrodome for over 30 years and I will echo similar reviews in saying it hasn’t changed much since then and is definitely in need of a complete refurbishment. Many of the pool tiles are chipped and very dirty and a lot of the decor is quite tacky and dated. I dread to think the last time the ceiling ducting was clean because it is caked in dust, which I find to be unhygienic considering they are directly over the pools. A huge investment and face-lift would completely transform metrodome.
Water temperature was good, but air temperature is to low, when you go out from water fill cold
Brought back some good memories from my childhood going today, great really enjoyed it
Great place to take the family, perfect all ages, we’ve been going for years with all our kids.Plenty of parking, as with most places you need to book in advance. Onsite bowling with a few arcade games, sports bar and a fast food restaurant just off from the pool.The kids meals are great value, wouldn’t say the normal menu is but we go for the kids so it’s not a problem for us.
Everyone kept jumping in water where it clearly said so jumping no one stoped them. There was no place to sit and relax in the water and aftrr that my kid got the chickenpox…
Took my daughter and her friend here they loved it, the pools weren’t overly crowded and it took about 8 mins to get on the big slides. only thing my daughter was gutted about is that she only got 90 minutes haha,
Didn’t swim as it’s a25m indoor pool. But the centre looks great for kids with bowling and a restaurant. Central location short walk from bus/train.
Kids loved it, we weren’t packed in like sardines. But could have down with an extra half hour over the 90mins
All is fine, but one thing can be improved. When you just enter the locker room from the pool, it’s very cold. My child was very cold while we were changing clothes
Excellent ! Myself and my 6 year old had a great time at Calypso Cove
Good fun for an afternoons activity with my family and child. Will be going back soon.
Decent facilities for visits with young families, not pristine but functional.Reception staff are great. Staff in the cafe could do with learning about customer service and basic manners.
Great day out for a family swim. Kids loved it. Awesome place bringing back memories of when I was younger
Other than parking been a bit tight great way to kill couple hours, daughter loved it. Plenty to do there from swimming to bowling and a mini arcade coffee etc.
I’m 36. I used to go with my friends as a 12yr old. Nowt much has changed. I took my little kids and they loved it. Will take them again
Travelled here due to website images and wanting to try somewhere different. The diving boards were a fun element as nowhere else has these however the wave pool was barely on and the pools themselves are actually very underwhelming. The changing cubicles are pathetically small too.
Fantastic and clean water park with loads to do for kids and adults. Cafe is very nice and well themed has is the water park itself
I went to metronome to wat h my son fight the venue was really well tailored for and all staff were great.
Booked tickets in advance as said no walk ins. Was too ill to go and wasn’t allowed a refund. I’ve never known being unable to get a refund on tickets for swimming!!! Swimming for god sake.Anyone would think we were trying to get a refund on our mortgage or something. I appreciate it mentions this in the Ts and Cs but truly, who on this planet has read through full terms and conditions when booking swimming tickets…..The two people I spoke to on the phone had a major attitude as well. If they had been polite and friendly I wouldn’t have been that bothered to be honest. The customer service is shocking. Really unimpressed.
Okay but busy and sessions are far too short for the money. Fair to say it’s a ripoff. Miss the old local pools where kids were encouraged to learn to swim cheaply. Seems even swimming is now a luxury for the wealthy!
Kids had a great time and the staff were all really lovely and friendly. Easy to get parked and I didn’t wait long to get inside. Only con is that it was quite dirty in the changing rooms but that’s because other people visiting don’t know how to pick up after themselves.
Great watermark for all ages and caters for everyone , can use all areas , the wave pool and slides and standard pool for swimming . Family changing area is great x x
Fantastic as always! Highly recommend and would go again and again. Suitable for all ages. We were a large group from adults to kids and babies.
The kids loved it. I enjoyed it even though the lining of my trunks had perished
