Waterpark holidays

This is what sets Center Parcs apart. Our Aqua Mundo waterparks are the centrepiece of every stay — vibrant, tropical worlds where fun meets freedom. Think giant waterslides, wild water rapids, wave pools, lazy rivers and splash zones, all under one warm, glass roof. It’s everything you’d expect from a top-rated holiday with waterpark access, without ever leaving the park.

From adrenaline-fuelled drops to calm toddler pools, Aqua Mundo is made for all ages — and it’s open every day of your stay. No tickets, no extra fees, no need to plan ahead. Just grab your towel, walk over from your cottage and dive in.

This isn’t just swimming. It’s the reason families come back year after year. It’s the part of your waterpark holiday that starts with a laugh and ends with “can we go one more time?” Whether you’re looking for a holiday with waterslides or a break where the weather doesn’t matter, Aqua Mundo delivers the splash without the stress.

Every Aqua Mundo has something special — but a few stand out for families who want a little (or a lot) more splash. These are our favourites: loved by guests, packed with water-fun, and perfect for rainy days or sun-drenched afternoons.

• De Eemhof (Netherlands) – Thrill-seekers love the Turbo Twister, a 50 km/h drop-in-the-dark slide. Add wave pools, surf sessions and subtropical surroundings, and you’ve got a real crowd-pleaser.
• Erperheide(Belgium) – Pure fun for little ones: the Water Playhouse is full of tipping buckets and mini slides, and the indoor pirate world is made for exploring.
• Les Trois Forêts (France) – Our biggest Aqua Mundo. Expect outdoor lagoons, wild water rivers, a spa zone and even slides with VR headsets.
• Het Heijderbos (Netherlands) – Think jungle adventure: exotic greenery, wild rivers and the Monkey Splash – a spiralling tower slide that’s not for the faint-hearted.
• Park Allgäu (Germany) – Relaxation meets action: panoramic saunas, water obstacle courses, and some of the best family slides in the park collection.

Whichever one you choose, Aqua Mundo is always included in your stay — so you can come and go as you please, with no extra costs or tickets. Just dry off, grab a snack, and do it all again.

After a day in the water, you’ll want somewhere to recharge — and that’s where your private cottage comes in. Whether you’re after a cosy base for two or a family-sized hideaway, every cottage includes comfy beds, a fully equipped kitchen, your own terrace and plenty of space to relax. It’s the quiet contrast to the splash and excitement of Aqua Mundo.

But waterpark holidays at Center Parcs go far beyond waterslides. Each park offers a wide range of family activities, from ziplining and pony rides to paddleboarding, bowling and high ropes courses. Whether you want action or downtime, it’s all just a stroll away.

And outside the park? That’s where the diversity of Europe really shines. Explore pine forests in Germany, dune landscapes in the Netherlands, lakeside vineyards in France or the woodlands of Belgium. Every destination brings a different rhythm, flavour and natural setting — but they all start the same way: with water, nature and your own peaceful place to stay.
