Aquaparc in Bouveret: slides and bursts of laughter with family

Why We Love This Idea

Aquaparc, in Bouveret (VS), is the kind of outing that pleases everyone. The pools are heated, the family areas are well thought out, and the older ones can enjoy some thrills while the little ones splash around calmly. We go there when it rains, when it's cold... or when we just want a vacation by the water, without driving for hours.

What Your Children Will Discover

Here, we dive into a joyful marine universe: lazy river for floating, wave pool, themed wading pools, water games, and slides of all sizes. The little ones love the shallow areas and the pirate decorations. The older kids test the big slides (with height requirements), time their descents, and leave feeling proud. In terms of atmosphere, it’s lively but well supervised, with lifeguards present and spaces to catch your breath between slides.

Before You Go

Aquaparc is suitable from a young age thanks to the wading pools, but ideally, it's best from 2 years old to fully enjoy. Plan for 2 to 4 hours on site, depending on the day's energy. The activity is quite playful and sporty, with a good sensory component (noise, water, movement). Entrance is paid; online ticketing is recommended, especially on weekends and during holidays. Access is stroller-friendly in common areas; in the water zones, a baby carrier or your arms will be more practical. By public transport, the Bouveret train station and the CGN pier (in season) make it easy to get there; by car, a large paid parking lot awaits you at the entrance.

For your bag: swimsuits, towels, non-slip sandals, floaties/life jackets for the kids, a water bottle, and a small snack. The pools are heated, so no need for a swim cap. Remember swim diapers for the little ones. The secure lockers work with a wristband: convenient for keeping your hands free.
