Have you ever wanted to swim under the moonlight while watching the stars twinkle? Our evening turn up and swim sessions at the Subtropical Swimming Paradise are the perfect opportunity for this to become a reality. Find out about the rides, slides and splash-tastic experiences, opening times and our swim bag essentials to help you make the most out of your Subtropical Swimming Paradise experience.
Rides and slides
Slip and slide down a selection of exhilarating rides in the Subtropical Swimming Paradise. Little ones can splash about in the children’s water play areas, our specially designed water play areas are full of spray fountains, slides and a splashing pool. Older children will be thrilled by the Wild Water Rapids - a firm family favourite that will have you wanting to go down again and again. Gaze up at the stars as you navigate the twists and turns of the Rapids or spend some ‘me time’ in the outdoor pool relaxing under the twilight sky. If adrenaline-filled activities are more your speed, try our gravity-defying Tropical Cyclone, with twists, turns and drops guaranteed to get your heart racing. Whatever your preferences, there’s something for the whole family at the Subtropical Swimming Paradise.
Opening times
Alongside the bookable daytime swim sessions, we’re also running a ‘turn up and swim’ session in the Subtropical Swimming Paradise from 6pm-9pm. There’s no need to book - just turn up and swim under the stars.
