A wet (but fun) day out for the whole family at the Aquashow Algarve water parkAquashow AlgarveAquashow Water Park can be found in Quarteira, next door to the popular tourist resort of Vilamoura. It is a fun water park for all the family and has a selection of rides for adrenalin-junkies as well as more gentle rides for those of a more thrill-averse disposition.Apart from the water rides, it is also home to a bird park with birds of prey and tropical birds, such as parrots and macaws. There are bird demonstrations and shows throughout the day, giving you some time to dry off from the water slides. The park is open all year round, but the water attractions (which is the bulk of the park) are not. The main season is from the beginning of June until then mid-October. Aquashow Algarve Rides and AttractionsWater Rollercoaster
This is the highest rollercoaster in Portugal, let alone the Algarve, and towers an impressive twenty or so metres in the air. It’s really just a high-powered log-flume, with the ride lasting bout 5 minutes and speeds of over 70km per hour reached in parts. Unfortunately if you are below 1.2 m in height you won’t be allowed on.
White Fall This is a huge white slide in a ‘V’ shape. From the top you drop down what feels like a near vertical drop in a rubber ring. At the bottom of the ‘V’ you’ll fly up the other side before being funnelled down a chute and into the collection pool. A high speed thrill ride, not for the faint-hearted. Wild Snake The Wild Snake is coiled round a large central tree-trunk. From the top, you launch yourself into the dark tunnel on a ring, finally being spewed out of the snake’s mouth into a river which then gently transports you at a far more leisurely pace to the end. Wave Pool 
This is a 1000+ capacity pool, covered by a huge arched metal frame. Although it looks like a greenhouse, it is actually a wave pool. Just grab a ring and ride the waves. More sedate than the white-knuckle rides and good fun, but can get very crowded.Foams A 5-lane water slide. Climb up to the top and then ride the water over the humps into the pool at the bottom. It’s great for races and good fun for all ages. Water Slides There are a number of different water slides with names like ‘Spiral’, ‘Snail’ and ‘Red Thunder’. There are different slides to suit all dispositions, from adrenalin-junkies to nervous parents. Aqualandia Aqualandia is a children’s water park within the Aquashow water park. It is designed for the younger members of the family with a shallow pool with gentle slides. Enjoyable and safe for the kids. Swimming Pool If you’ve had enough of the thrills and spills of the other rides, or you just want to cool off, then there is a decent sized swimming pool for you to use. It is surrounded by sunbeds and umbrellas for a rest afterwards. Jacuzzi There’s a Jacuzzi to soak away the tensions from those white-knuckle rides. Birds of Prey and Exotic Birds For something a little different, you can go and look at the birds of prey and the colourful exotic birds which live here. There are demonstrations during the day of the birds of prey and parrot shows for your amusement. Museum of Portuguese History This is a selection of wax animatronix monsters and historical characters set in animated scenes. Narration is provided in both Portuguese and English. Restaurants and CafesAquashow has a restaurant, a couple of snack bars and a picnic area (but only for food bought in the park). You are not allowed to bring your own picnics. There are plenty of seated areas outside and grassy areas where you can sunbathe.Aquashow Algarve - Opening times and admission fees
