Tips for Visiting Outdoor Waterparks in Alberta
Before visiting any waterpark that’s outside of the city - or that you’re going to hop into the car and drive to - don’t assume it’s open. Check the website for the waterpark, or call in advance to avoid disappointment.
Most of the outdoor waterparks in Alberta have concesssion available on-site, but it’s going to stretch that ssummer budget if you bring the basics along with you. Check the access for public pools, like Blackfalds or Henderson pool, to read the rules before trying to bring in your own food and drinks.
To get the best bang for your buck at Sylvan Lake Aqua Splash, take advantage of admission specials for arriving early, or late in the day. These twilight specials are a great way to cool off, without breaking the bank.
Most waterparks offer a great bang for your buck experience, as a great stop for an Edmonton road trip, or a destination on their own. Most of the outdoor waterslides on this list have family admission for around twenty bucks - making it a budget-friendly summer adventure.
