How do I Book?
All bookings can be made online in advance via the website, click book a splash and follow the instructions. (note tickets go on sale in April, only gift cards are available online until then)
If there appears to be nothing available on the day you want to book, it is because all sessions are taken/the park is closed on this date.
Please remember before booking that all ticket sales are final. All bookings must be made online in advance to avoid disappointment.
Once you have booked, you must ensure that you and/or your party have completed their waiver online before arriving. Simply follow the instructions sent in the confirmation email. If you do not complete the waiver online and have to complete one at the Ticket Office, there will be a £5 administration charge.

What are your prices?
What if I am spectating?
Spectators can watch from the shore and it is free to do so. We recommend bringing camping chairs or picnic blankets as seating is limited.
Well-behaved Dogs are permitted on site, as long as they are kept on a lead and do not go in the water.
What if it’s raining, windy or thunder storms forecast?
Rain: You can still take part in the rain- you are going to get wet anyway! The Aqua Park is great fun in the rain!
Wind: Wind speed and direction at our venues is continuously monitored through a dedicated weather station installed on-site. Real-time data will be accessible to staff responsible for enforcing this policy. When the weather station records wind speeds consistent with or exceeding Beaufort Force 6 for a sustained period, the park will be closed.
Thunder and Lightening:
- Safety First: The safety of all visitors is of utmost importance. When thunder and lightning are observed over the water, all activities will be temporarily stopped to ensure the safety of participants and staff.
- 20-Minute Wait: Activities will only resume after a visual confirmation that the storm has passed. Once the last lightning strike over the water has occurred, a mandatory waiting period of 20 minutes will be enforced before activities can resume. This waiting period is essential to ensure the safety of all involved.
- Constant Monitoring: Throughout the waiting period and the resumption of activities, weather conditions will be continuously monitored. If thunder and lightning resume during this period, the 20-minute wait period will reset, and activities will remain on hold until another 20 minutes have passed without any lightning strikes.
- Individual Consideration: The impact on ticket holders will be assessed on an individual basis in respect of refund and credits.
Notification: Aqua Park Group reserve the right to cancel or reschedule Your Session at any time when reasonably required with no prior notice due to severe weather. We will inform You as soon as reasonably possible if We need to cancel or reschedule Your Session. However, we cannot guarantee that you will be informed of such cancellation if you have not provided the correct contact details for your booking. In the first instances this will be via text and or email. You will receive a gift certificate for the value of Your Order which You can use to re-book for an available Session. The cancellation or rescheduling of Your Session does not automatically entitle You to a refund.

Wetsuits: Do I have to wear a wetsuit?
Do I have to wear a wetsuit?
Wearing a wetsuit is highly recommended, they provide UV protection from the sun and a low risk of friction burns.
Alternatively, you can wear suitable swimwear or gym shorts/leggings to protect you on slides and cover your shoulders with a t-shirt or rash vest.
We may ask that they are required when the water temp or weather is cooler.

Personal wetsuits and wetsuit boots/ wetshoes use is not permitted at Cosmeston Lakes.
If using an Aqua Park wetsuit, you must wear swimwear underneath for hygiene reasons.
