Even though i had to drive an hour to get here it was well worth the trip to go there with my daughter for the day. I did try and go once before a few months back but to my dismay it was closed. Turns out I really should have looked on the website about opening times before I went. Trust me, it helps a lot.

The place itself i a little pricey to get in, but if you park in the car park you get your money refunded off of your ticket. You also have to pay for a locker which comes with this totally funky wristband that closes and unlocks your locker. It only opens and closes your one somehow. Im not sure on the technology behind it but it's still impressive.

Onto the slides and pools. The first thing i noticed was the temperature of the water. It was warm! I hate freezing cold pools, this was an absolute godsend in my eyes, my daughter couldn't have cared less though. she was only 4 at the time. Which neatly brings me to my next point.

The super awesome slides were unfortunately out of my reach as i was with a 4 year old but the queues weren't too bad and waiting time was pretty small. The speed swirl or whatever its called was fun too. My daughter had so much fun moving at speed, she wanted to visit it every few goes on a slide.

The kiddies area, which is also pretty fun coincidentally has two separate areas. the first is a massive climbing frame apparatus and two slides with all kinds of fun water features spraying and shooting everywhere. For an adult to go down the slides though can be kind of rough as they are designed for toddlers under 5.

The other kiddies section has loads of little water features where you can play with things like mini dams and water works, water wheels and other spinney magic things that captivate the pre-toddlers and up to 5's.

There is a cafe very close to the poolside cordoned off so family members not swimming can still watch and have a drink or something to eat at the same time. Don't ask me on the prices though I didn't eat there.

All in all, me and my little girl had a great time. I'll be taking ht e rest of the family someday soon and we will surely have fun fun fun. Very highly recommended place to visit in Southport. Thumbs up.
