AQUA PARK RUTLAND | SUMMER ATTRACTION

For the next 8 weeks at Whitwell Rutland Water, Aqua Park Rutland is open for summer family fun for all ages.

On Friday, I headed down to the Press Day to try it out!

While I took photographs of their experience my Brother and his friend Ollie tested out the attraction.

Here's how they got on!

When we first arrived, the structure did seem a lot smaller than we expected from the pictures and videos we watched previously. However it's no doubt one of the most amazing adventure/water sports activities I've ever seen.

After a short safety briefing, the boys decided against wetsuits (which are available to hire for £5), popped on their life jackets and headed in!

Obviously cold at first, they swam the short distance to enter to aqua park.

It was amusing and interested to watch from the shore how the boys got on, and it took them no time at all before they fell in. Everyone was clearly loving the experience, with friends and families of all ages taking to the park and having what looked like so much fun.

The park is £15 for 55 Minutes which looked like the perfect amount of time, and what I think is an affordable price for such a unique activity.

As some of the different elements to the park aren't connected it includes some swift tactics and swimming, plus a hell load of energy to get to each.

They boys found it a lot harder than they originally thought and after about 45 minutes we're started to feel tired. Although when we first arrived we expected (from the pictures online) the structure to be a bit bigger, it became clear that if it was the size we were expecting, energy levels would've been tested to the max to get around the whole park, as even after 45 minutes there were still areas the boys hasn't tried out. The only thing they thought could improve the experience was possible an introduction of some music playing during the 55 minutes.

Aqua Park Rutland is such a unique day out for all the family, and I love to see something so different in Rutland. It would usually involve travelling to find something similar to Aqua Park Rutland and it's extremely refreshing to see something on this scale brought here.

It's no doubt that the on-water-water-park is going to be the favourite attraction of the summer and I would advice you to get your slot booked as I can imagine it's going to be the talk of the town.
