7 Family Water Parks In Croatia To Beat The Heat
Many young families with small children who come to visit Croatia search for fun activities to entertain their youngsters for the whole day, preferably water activities to keep cool during the hot summer days.
We selected four water parks in Croatia that would be ideal for spending a fun-filled day splashing under the sun.
Pack up some of those family travel essentials and visit these waterparks this summer.
Dalmatia Aquapark, Dalmatia

Dalmatia Aquapark WAS the first themed water park in the coastal region of Dalmatia. The water park is situated in the heart of the Solaris Family Beach Resort in Šibenik.
The most popular water activity in the park is the lazy river. It offers many activities and water effects for kids and adults. It has two pool areas, a large castle with various slides for children of different ages, nozzles, sprinklers, jet tubes, a splash pad, waterfalls, water cannon, and much more.
The water park can accommodate up to 1,000 guests at a time. Parents can sit and relax while still being at ease that their youngsters are in safe hands, as the professional lifeguards oversee all of the activities in the park to ensure the security and safety of all visitors.
The park has a separately designed kids’ zone and a fairy-tale cave, designed in various bright and vibrant colors that youngsters will love!
Families can buy a daily ticket to enjoy a full day of fun water activities. The daily pass offers visitors access to beach lounge chairs, parasols, locker room, and shower facilities. Children that cannot swim are provided with life jackets at no additional cost.

Visitors can also find many refreshments and food stations for a quick bite to eat. The park is open from mid-April to early October.
To get the most value for your money, it is recommended that you arrive at the park very early, as the cost for the daily pass is the same throughout the whole day – also, seats are limited, so better come early to claim your spot.
Those who just want to have a lazy day on the beach can take their towels and find a spot on one of five thematic beaches stretching over four kilometers on the beautiful coastline.
This family resort also offers five hotels for accommodation, ranging from three to five stars, outdoor pools, shops, beach clubs, bars, and restaurants – an excellent destination for a real family vacation. The facility also has plenty of parking spaces. However, the parking is not free – another reason to come bright and early.
