Britain’s biggest outdoor water park, Splashdown Quaywest, located by Goodrington Beach in Paignton, Devon, is the go-to destination for summer fun. The park features an impressive collection of eight exhilarating slides that cater to thrill-seekers of all ages. From the extreme 65ft drop of Devils Drop to the high-velocity thrills of The Screamer, there’s something for everyone looking to get their adrenaline pumping.
For those who prefer a challenge, the Wild Kamikaze slide offers a spine-tingling experience with three sharp drops along a 60-meter slide. The latest addition, the 3Fall slide introduced in 2023, promises an exciting mat race where friends and family can compete head-first. Visitors can also enjoy a less intense but equally thrilling ride on the Corkscrew, twisting through 98 meters of turns.
In addition to the eight slides available for adults, there is a dedicated area for young adventurers at Captain Leweys Shipwreck Island, featuring seven child-friendly slides. With a notable 3.5 rating on TripAdvisor, guests praise the park for its fantastic experiences. Comments highlight the fun slides, helpful staff, and overall enjoyable day out, despite some queues during peak times.
Splashdown Quaywest is currently open daily from 9 am to 7 pm until September 1, after which a new schedule from 10 am to 5 pm will be in place until September 4. For fans of the waterpark, it will still be accessible on weekends throughout September before closing for the season at the end of the month. Day passes are priced at £30, with discounted rates of £25 for children aged five to eight.
Whether you’re seeking a heart-pounding adventure or a relaxing day by the water, Splashdown Quaywest offers the perfect escape for families and friends looking to make the most of the summer holidays.
