Half-Term at Waterworld: Why It’s the Perfect Family Day Out

Half-term is almost here, and finding the perfect way to keep the kids entertained (and happy!) can feel like a mission. Luckily, Waterworld in Stoke-on-Trent is a total lifesaver. It’s warm, it’s splashy, and it’s packed with fun for all ages – rain or shine!

A Tropical Escape… Without the Travel

Step inside Waterworld and you’ll forget all about the grey British weather outside. With a toasty 30°C all year round, it feels like a mini holiday. From twisting slides to wave pools, it’s a place where kids (and adults!) can burn off energy and make a splash.

Fun for Every Level of Adventurer

There’s something for everyone here:

  • Thrill-seekers: If your kids love a bit of adrenaline, the trapdoor drop slide and high-speed rides like Cyclone and Stormchaser are a must.
  • Family fun: Looking for something you can all enjoy together? Race down the Family Multi Slide and see who wins! Then, tackle the Rapids together – whirl past the shipwreck, hit the speed-boosting cannons, and splash your way to the other side
  • Little ones: Younger children aren’t left out. Multi-slide flumes, gentle slides, and splash zones mean they can join in safely.
  • Relaxation: Need a breather? Chill out in the wave and bubble pools – perfect for parents catching a moment of calm. 

Designed with Families in Mind

Waterworld really thinks about families. Our mixed changing area includes several family cubicles, making it easy for everyone to get ready together. There are accessible facilities and plenty of seating too – perfect for relaxing while keeping an eye on the kids. Everyone, no matter their age or ability, can enjoy the fun.

Take a Break and Refuel

All that swimming and sliding works up an appetite! Grab a snack or a meal in the café or restaurant. It’s all family-friendly, so no worrying about fussy eaters.

A Few Tips for Your Visit

  • Book ahead: Tickets are best booked online to guarantee your time in the park.
  • Bring the essentials: Swimwear, towels, and plenty of energy.
  • Half-term special offer: Now’s a great time to save – Waterworld is running a special half-term ticket offer, so you can enjoy all the fun without breaking the bank.

Halloween Spooktacular Weekend 

From 31st October to 2nd November, we are adding a spooky twist to your family day out with its Halloween Spooktacular weekend. Expect a few surprises as you make your way through the park.

The reception team will be in full fancy dress, ready to welcome guests with tricks, treats, and plenty of Halloween cheer. The Rapids have been transformed into a haunting graveyard, where skeletons and zombies lurk in the mist, while the famous Waterfall has taken on an eerie crimson glow. Even reception has had a spooky makeover, with witches and clowns taking over for the weekend.

It’s the same Waterworld fun you know and love, but with an extra splash of Halloween magic.
