Aqualand Maspalomas, the Aqualand of Gran Canaria, is the big water park in the south of the island: heart-in-mouth slides, a wave pool, a lazy river and three areas for little ones, ten minutes from the dunes. This guide covers everything you need to plan the day: official prices and opening hours, which rides suit each age and height, how to get there from Mogán, Puerto Rico or Maspalomas, and how to spend less time in queues.

What Aqualand Maspalomas is

Aqualand Maspalomas is a water park on the road that climbs to Palmitos Park, in the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana, a few minutes from the lighthouse and Playa del Inglés. It belongs to the Aqualand network of water parks run by the Aspro group and opens every day, not just in summer.

The park is split into four areas: Adrenaline Fun (the big slides), Family Fun (the wave pool), Kidzworld (three children’s zones) and Chill Out & Play (the lazy river and the hot tub). It is all laid out on a hillside with palm trees, so between rides you climb up and down a fair bit.

Aqualand Maspalomas slides and rides by intensity and age

The key to planning is height, not age: almost every big slide requires 1.20 m, and on several of them children between 1 m and 1.20 m can ride with an adult. These are the real ride names, as listed on the park’s official website.

Adrenaline: the big slides

Kamikaze is a pair of twin parallel body slides, which the park itself calls its wildest. Racer Twin Turbolance is a tube race with twists, drops and a spectacular finish, billed as one of the biggest slides in Europe. Tsunami is a stomach-dropping plunge on a tube, solo or in pairs, and Laberinto de Agua starts in tubes and ends in an eight-lane race on a mat.

Rounding out the list are The Spiral and Snake Falls (body slides), Speed Boats (the Kamikaze feeling, on a tube), Misol-ha (a tube, two fast turns and a steep drop), Hurakan (a double tube, fast drops and turns) and Anaconda, a 200-metre descent on a four-person tube.

Family: waves, the river and the biggest slide

Banzai is the park’s biggest slide and is built for groups: you ride a three-person tube. Tukakame mimics a rafting run through rapids and needs only 1 metre. Discovery Beach is the big wave pool, with no height limit, and Río del Pirata is the lazy river on tubes for up to three people: it asks for 1.20 m, but shorter children can go with an adult.

For the little ones: Kidzworld

The kids’ area has three zones. Skull Bay, opened in 2024, is a pirate bay with slides, water arches and waterfalls under a giant skull, for children under 1.40 m (water shoes are compulsory here). Polynesia has water games, slides, climbing and a tipping bucket, with lifeguards watching. Adventure Land brings together eight slides for children between 0.90 and 1.50 m, including Multiracer, Water Rider and Crazy Roll.

Ride Type Minimum height
Kamikaze, The Spiral, Snake Falls Body slide, speed 1.20 m
Racer Twin Turbolance, Speed Boats, Tsunami Tube, speed 1.20 m
Laberinto de Agua Mat, 8-lane race 1.20 m
Hurakan, Misol-ha, Banzai Tube (double on Hurakan, three-person on Banzai) 1.20 m (1 to 1.20 m with an adult)
Anaconda 4-person tube, 200 m 1.20 m (1.10 to 1.20 m with an adult)
Tukakame Rafting-style rapids 1 m
Río del Pirata Lazy river 1.20 m or with an adult
Discovery Beach Wave pool None
Skull Bay, Polynesia Kids’ area Under 1.40 m
Adventure Land 8 children’s slides 0.90 to 1.50 m

Aqualand with children: the plan by age

Up to age 4, the day revolves around Polynesia, Skull Bay, Adventure Land (from 0.90 m) and the shallow edge of the wave pool. It is a lovely plan but light on rides: if all your children are that age, ask yourself whether a quiet beach day would serve you better.

From 5 to 8, Tukakame (from 1 m) joins the list, along with the shared-tube slides with an adult. From around 6 or 7, when many children are close to 1.20 m, the whole park works: that is why we mark it as the ideal age. Teenagers and adults can do every big slide.

Aqualand Maspalomas ticket prices

These are the official prices for non-residents, checked on aqualand.es on 2 November 2026. The one-day ticket bought online is for a set date and has a variable price depending on the day you choose; the website shows the lowest available. The park reserves the right to change prices, so confirm before you go.

Ticket Gate Online
1 day, adult (11 or over, or taller than 1.40 m) €41 From €32
1 day, child (5 to 10, or 1.10 to 1.40 m) €31 From €22
1 day, toddler (3 to 4, or 0.90 to 1.10 m) €17 €17
1 day, senior (65 or over) €31 From €22
Babies (0 to 2, or under 90 cm) Free Free
2 days, adult €56 €53
2 Parks Ticket (Aqualand + Palmitos Park), adult €62 €62

Canary Islands residents get reduced prices on showing an original ID with Canary residence. There is also a season pass (€120 adult in 2026) and online-only family packs, which cannot be used on the day of purchase. One practical detail: you need the ticket on your phone or printed; otherwise the gate charges the difference up to the official price.

Aqualand Maspalomas tickets

Buying in advance has two upsides: you walk in at opening without queuing at the ticket office, which is exactly when you want to be inside, and you avoid the gate price. For a one-day ticket, the cheapest option is usually the official online shop (aqualand.es/maspalomas/tickets): from €32 depending on the date, sometimes with early-booking promotions.

HeyMogan also offers the Aqualand ticket (from €39) and the combo with Palmitos Park (€59 per adult). Right now the supplier has online sales of both paused: on each one’s page you can leave your email and we will let you know as soon as they can be booked again.

If you are also doing Palmitos Park, the combined ticket is the best buy: each park is visited on a different day and the official 2 Parks Ticket (€62 adult) beats buying the two tickets separately, whether at the gate (€41 for Aqualand plus €39 for Palmitos Park) or online (from €32 plus €35), according to their official websites. The official ticket is valid for 90 days from purchase and the days do not have to be consecutive. Our pack (€59), the one in the card below, is also on hold for now.

Aqualand Maspalomas opening hours by season

The park opens every day on two timetables: 10:00 to 17:00 for most of the year and 10:00 to 18:00 in July and August. One detail that changes plans: the water rides close 30 minutes before the park does, so outside July and August the last slide is at 16:30.

Season Park hours Last slide What it is like
November to April 10:00 to 17:00 16:30 Quieter; average highs of 20-21°C on the south coast in January and February
May, June, September and October 10:00 to 17:00 16:30 Full season: heat and more people
July and August 10:00 to 18:00 17:30 Full season and the longest hours

Some rides may close for maintenance (the park posts it in writing at the ticket office) or because of the weather, and the rules make clear that in those cases the ticket is not refunded. If the day starts very windy, check before you set off.

What the ticket includes: sunbeds, lockers and food

The ticket gives access to all rides and areas of the park. Extras are the sunbeds (the official website says so explicitly), the lockers, parking and food. Budget for these extras and check the prices at the ticket office when you arrive.

Food: you can bring your own food and drink, as long as nothing is in glass, and picnics go in the designated areas. Inside there is a self-service restaurant, cafés, snack stands, ice cream kiosks and a new restaurant, La Cantina. The shop sells swimwear, sun cream, towels, armbands, goggles and footwear in case you forget something.

Clothing and cameras: only swimwear is allowed on the rides (no denim, nothing with rigid or metal parts). The park rules ban GoPro-type cameras and phone cases on the rides, and the FAQ rules out selfie sticks: the simplest thing is to leave it all in a locker. Water shoes are recommended throughout the park, and compulsory in Skull Bay.

When to go: season, day and time

Aqualand opens all year, but not every month feels the same. May to October is full season: heat, pleasant water and more people. From November to April the park is quieter, but on the south coast average highs in January and February sit around 20-21°C (1991-2020 normals): the issue is not so much getting in as getting out wet in a breeze. If you go in winter, pick a still day and bring a big towel and a sweatshirt.

As for the day, weekdays have shorter queues than weekends, when local families join in. And as for the time, the usual water park rule applies: be there at opening.

How long you need and how to beat the queues

Aqualand is a full-day plan: with seven opening hours (eight in July and August) and the last ride half an hour before closing, there is no slack. With teenagers who want to repeat the big ones, it is tight; with small children, tiredness arrives before closing time.

Four ways to spend less time queuing

  1. Big slides first.At 10:00 many people are still laying out towels and hunting for sunbeds. That window is for Racer Twin Turbolance, Anaconda, Hurakan and Banzai.
  2. Eat off-peak.Have lunch at 12:00 or after 14:30. While everyone else eats, the slide queues shrink.
  3. The calm stuff last.The lazy river, the wave pool and the hot tub are ideal for the last hour, when you are tired and the slides start closing.
  4. In a group, head for the big tubes.On Banzai (three people) and Anaconda (four) the queue moves one tube at a time, not one person at a time: as a group, you fill a tube between you and ride together.

How to get to Aqualand Maspalomas

By car is easiest. The park sits at kilometre 3 of the Palmitos Park road, which leaves the Maspalomas area from the GC-1. From Puerto de Mogán it is about 30 minutes and from Puerto Rico about 20. There is paid private parking, not included in the ticket.

By bus there are two Global routes with an “Aqualand” stop, according to its website (checked on 2 November 2026). Route 70 is the one you want if you are staying in Mogán or Puerto Rico: it runs along the whole coast, so it is a long ride and you should allow much more time than by car. Route 45 is for those staying in San Agustín, Playa del Inglés or Maspalomas. On the way back, both leave Palmitos Park and stop at Aqualand a few minutes later.

Route Stops Outbound Return from Palmitos Park
70 (Puerto de Mogán, Palmitos Park) Puerto de Mogán bus station (bay 5), Taurito, Playa del Cura, Tauro, Amadores, Puerto Rico, Arguineguín, Faro de Maspalomas 9:30, 10:00 and 10:30 from Puerto de Mogán; 9:50 from Playa de Amadores 15:35, 16:35 and 17:15
45 (Bahía Feliz, Palmitos Park) Bahía Feliz and the San Agustín, Playa del Inglés and Maspalomas area 9:30, 10:00, 10:30 and 11:00 14:45, 15:30, 16:30, 17:15 and 18:00

Bus timetables can change. Check the route on guaguasglobal.com the day before and mind the return: the last 70 leaves Palmitos Park at 17:15 and reaches Aqualand a few minutes later.

By taxi, the ride from Maspalomas or Playa del Inglés is short and for four people it can beat the bus. From Mogán the fare climbs, and a hire car or bus 70 make more sense.

Aqualand or Palmitos Park?

It is the big question for many families with only one free day. The two parks are on the same road and complement each other well:

Aqualand Palmitos Park
Type of day Waterslides non-stop Nature, animals and shows
Ideal age From 6-7 up, teenagers From age 2 up, and adults without kids
How tiring High: it is a physical day A walk with slopes: medium
In the heat The hotter the better Better first thing
Real duration The whole day 4-5 hours

If your children already reach 1.20 m and water is what they want, Aqualand. If they are small or the plan is more of a stroll, Palmitos. And if the week allows, both on different days with the combined ticket. Everything about the other park is in our complete Palmitos Park guide.

What about Lago Taurito, Mogán’s water park?

If you are staying in the southwest, there is a closer option: the Lago Taurito water park, in Taurito, within the municipality of Mogán. It is a good deal smaller, runs on salt water and opens all year from 10:00 to 18:00, with slides from 10:30 to 17:30. It is also much cheaper: in November 2026 its website listed an adult ticket at €12 from 16 September and €19 from 1 June to 15 September, plus customer parking at €10 a day.

The difference is scale: Lago Taurito is a half-day plan about 19 minutes by car from Puerto de Mogán (16 km), while Aqualand is the full-day outing with the big slide collection. We cover it in our Taurito beach guide.

Aqualand Maspalomas: frequently asked questions

According to the official website (checked on 2 November 2026), a one-day adult ticket costs €41 at the gate and from €32 online, with the price varying by date. Children aged 5 to 10: €31 at the gate and from €22 online. Ages 3 to 4: €17. Under-3s or under 90 cm go free.

Where can I buy the cheapest Aqualand Maspalomas tickets?

For a one-day ticket, the official online shop at aqualand.es is usually cheapest: from €32 for an adult depending on the date, against €41 at the gate. You need to bring it on your phone or printed. If you are also going to Palmitos Park, the official 2 Parks Ticket costs €62 per adult.

Is Aqualand Maspalomas worth it?

For us, yes, if the children already reach 1.20 m or you are teenagers or adults keen on slides, and if you make a full day of it from opening time. With children under 1 m the day is short on rides, and you need to add sunbed, locker and parking, which cost extra.

What is the scariest slide at Aqualand Maspalomas?

The park itself calls Kamikaze, a pair of twin body slides, its wildest. Racer Twin Turbolance is billed as one of the biggest slides in Europe and Banzai is the biggest in the park. All three need 1.20 m (on Banzai, 1 to 1.20 m with an adult).

What are the opening hours at Aqualand Maspalomas?

It opens every day from 10:00 to 17:00, and from 10:00 to 18:00 in July and August. The water rides close half an hour before the park.

Can you take food into Aqualand?

Yes. You can bring your own food and drink, but no glass containers, and picnics go in the designated areas. Inside there is a self-service restaurant, cafés, ice cream kiosks and La Cantina restaurant.

What height do you need for the slides?

Most of the big ones need 1.20 m. On Hurakan, Misol-ha and Banzai children between 1 m and 1.20 m can ride with an adult, and Tukakame needs 1 m. In the kids’ area, Skull Bay and Polynesia are for children under 1.40 m, and Adventure Land for children from 0.90 to 1.50 m.

How long do you need, and which day is quietest?

It is a full-day plan: go in at 10:00 and bear in mind that the rides close half an hour before the park. Weekdays usually have shorter queues than weekends, when island families join in, and from November to April the park is quieter than in summer.

Does Aqualand Maspalomas have parking?

Yes, a private paid car park, not included in the ticket. The official website does not publish the rate: check it when you arrive.

How do I get to Aqualand by bus from Puerto de Mogán?

On Global route 70, which leaves Puerto de Mogán bus station and stops at Aqualand. From Playa del Inglés and San Agustín, route 45. Check times on guaguasglobal.com before you go.

Is there another Aqualand in Gran Canaria?

No. In the Aqualand network, the Gran Canaria park is the one in Maspalomas; the other one in the Canaries is on Tenerife.

Is the combo with Palmitos Park worth it?

If you are going to both parks, yes: each ticket is used on a different day and the official 2 Parks Ticket (€62 adult) costs less than two separate tickets, at the gate and online too. Sales of our own combo (€59) are currently paused by the supplier.

Are sunbeds included?

No. The official website states the sunbed is not included in the price. Lockers and parking are also extra.

Is Aqualand Maspalomas open in winter?

Yes, it opens every day. Winter is quieter, but you feel the wind when you get out wet: pick a calm day and bring a big towel.

Is Aqualand Maspalomas in Mogán?

No: it is on the Palmitos Park road in the Maspalomas area (San Bartolomé de Tirajana). From Puerto de Mogán it is about 30 minutes by car. The water park that is in Mogán is Lago Taurito.

Seven local tips

  1. Ticket on your phone before leaving.Without it you pay the difference up to the gate price.
  2. Water shoes from home.The ground gets hot in summer and they are compulsory in Skull Bay. If you forget them, the park shop sells footwear.
  3. Wallet and phone in the locker.Phone cases and GoPro-type cameras are not allowed on the rides.
  4. Sandwiches and water from home.It is allowed (no glass) and the saving for a family is real.
  5. Measure the kids first.At the gate, if age is not proven with ID, height rules apply. Knowing whether they reach 1.20 m avoids tears in the queue.
  6. Watch slide closing time, not park closing time.Half an hour earlier: outside July and August, at 16:30.
  7. Finish at the dunes.On the way out, the lighthouse and the Maspalomas dunes boardwalk are ten minutes away: sunset there rounds off the day with only a short detour.

In short

For us, Aqualand Maspalomas is the most complete water park day on Gran Canaria, and it really pays off once the children reach 1.20 m. The formula: ticket bought in advance, arrival at 10:00, big slides first and lunch off-peak, with ride closing time in mind. If you are also visiting Palmitos Park, the combined ticket is the logical buy.

From the heart of Mogán

“The further you move back from the seafront, the better you eat and the less you pay. Two or three streets inland changes both the menu and the bill. That is where locals eat.”
