Those who usually spend more than a week in the Algarve in a holiday context also create a routine. Between going to the beach, the house and the restaurants, so the rest days of many Portuguese who have the habit of heading south of the country. For those who have children, sometimes they need to change the routine and a visit to a water park can be the solution. There is one in particular in the Algarve that reopens next May 1st.
Summer in the Algarve is synonymous with beach, sun and aquatic fun, and Aquashow Park, located in Quarteira, is preparing for another “season full of emotions.” Considered by many to be the “most complete water park” in Europe, space is a reference for adrenaline families and lovers looking for different programs during the hottest months of the year.
Preparations for the new season
With a reopening scheduled for next Thursday, May 1, Aquashow offers more than 20 distinct attractions, including two areas dedicated exclusively to children, as well as several daily shows. The diversity of activities is one of the main visit cards of the complex, which combines aquatic animation with moments of relaxation and leisure.
SLORREGS FOR ALL AGE
Slips remain the park’s ‘kings’, providing experiences for all ages. Among them stands out the Twin Space Shuttlea 250-meter-length aquatic roller coaster where visitors slide into buoys with capacity for up to five people, facing climbs and descents.
Challenges for the most adventurers
Another structure that challenges the most adventurous is the Free Fallone of the largest free fall slides in Europe. At 29 meters high, this attraction promises a dizzying descent that, according to the organization, is sought by the bravest visitors seeking to overcome their own limits.
Besides these, there are also attractions, such as the Watercoastermore than 700 meters by route; the Speed Racedesigned for slide racing between six people; the Shark Slidewhich ends in the mouth of a shark; and the Wild Snakea 16 -meter high snake slide. For moments of relaxation, the park also offers the Lazy River and a wave pool.

The History of Aquashow Transformation
Aquashow has a history of renewal and entrepreneurship. About 25 years ago, businessman Celestino Santos decided to invest in an almost abandoned venture near Quarteira, starting the transformation that would give rise to the current water park. The project proved to be a success and placed the space on the Algarve tourist map.
The expansion with its own hotel
In 2001, Aquashow Park was officially inaugurated, starting with a set of outdoor attractions. A decade later, in 2011, the expansion of the complex also included a hotel, offering a practical accommodation solution for visitors who wanted to prolong their stay.
The year 2022 marked a new chapter in the history of Aquashow, with the opening of the first mega water park covered of the Iberian Peninsula. Inside, visitors find the slide Tornadowith 26 meters high, the Black Holewhere the descent happens in the total darkness, and adventure pools equipped with obstacle paths.
Ticket prices
Tickets for the new season are now available for purchase. During May, June and September, adult prices start at 29.70 euros, while in July and August the value rises to 32.40 euros. Children from six to 10 pay 21.60 euros at the low time and 23.40 euros at the high time.
With a diversified offer of attractions for all ages and a history of constant innovation, Aquashow Park remains one of the main aquatic fun destinations in Portugal.
