Valle dell'Orso — Attraction in Torre del Greco

So we are from the UK. We needed something fun and to stay cool in the hot weather. This is a Family Water park for all ages. You need to get at least two chairs if there are 4-5 of you but you must pay for all members. Parking is easy and cost us €5. Get here early. If you book online and want to party with loud music and fun, choose the main pool. If you’re not such a party animal look for the smaller pool, but you will hear music and an MC. Don’t panic they have a 2h break. The Italians know how to have fun and everyone joins in. The main pool has a wave for about 5min every hour. The rides are easy and well managed. Remember it’s a small family run park and it’s there so you can have a splash and some fun. There is a cafe which is ok for snacks and some Italian espresso! Go for the self catered section for lunch as there is a wide range of food there and you get good portions. People were friendly and helpful even though we couldn’t speak Italian. We used a hire car to get there, but there is a shuttle bus from the train station. The ques for the slides for fair and no que jumpers. The lifeguards were good as well. Book the day before is recommended. We all had fun and loved everyone’s ability to join in with the dancing and singing. Music is very loud, which is perfect for a pool party atmosphere. Remember they have a quiet time for 2h for lunch. Everyone had fun and the park was perfectly safe and friendly. Remember to buy a hat. Maybe a yellow or red one if you want to stand out ! lol . They even played Christmas songs and had a Father Christmas! Don’t you...

Grumpy lifeguards/personnel with a no fun/no play regime blowing their hideous whistles all the time at everyone, even at harmless/normal pool "activity". Went to the park with my wife and 7 yr old son. He was denied to use the slides at the children's pool even though he was shorter than the upper height-limit of 140cm Furthermore, he was almost chased by a guard from the "bubble-bath" next to the children's pool as it supposedly was meant for adults only (yes, you got it right; children are not allowed in the bubble-bath in the children's pool area). 15 minutes later i observed 3 Italian families with the children there. The same guard became aware of me observing the children in the "adult-only" pool and then approached me. He then "allowed" my son to spend 5 min in the bubble bath after all. We declined the offer and decided to leave. We had a terrible experience at the park. This is the first time travelling in Europe feeling descriminated for being foreigners. The only smile we got from personnel was an apologizing one that came from an English-speaking guard I complained to as we left. Stay away from this place and save...

I used the WhatsApp business account to contact them the day before. This helped overcome the fact I speak no Italian. Due to the weather the week before they had delayed opening the slides until the end of the week. This was understandable and clearly communicated so it was no problem. We used the adventure park (basically an equivalent of go ape in the UK) . The same gentleman who had been communicatong on WhatsApp was there and had superb English which was reassuring for the safety briefing and he was very pleasant and chatty. Smaller children (
