Water Planet Aquapark

Day passes for Water Planet Aqua Park provide unlimited access to the park’s swimming pools and slides. Float along the Lazy River, make a splash in the wave pool, and get your adrenaline fix on extreme slides like the Black Hole and Four Twisters. There’s a dedicated splash pool and play area for little kids, while adventurous teenagers and adults can tackle the 230-foot (70-meter) bungee jump or go rafting along the artificial rapids.

• Adult and child admission tickets are available for Water Planet Aqua Park; children under six go free. Additional fees are required for certain activities, including rafting and bungee jumping.

• Lifeguards are on duty at all the slides and pools, and facilities include sun loungers, showers, changing rooms, and lockers.

• There are several restaurant and bar options at the park, along with a few souvenir stalls. Outside food and drink are not allowed at the park.

Water Planet Aqua Park is located at Okurcalar Mevkii, about mid-way between Alanya and Side along Turkey’s Mediterranean Coast. It’s about a 30-minute drive or taxi ride from either city, but it’s best to purchase tickets with round-trip transfers included if you don't have your own transport.

The water park is open seasonally, from May through September, and daily opening times are 10am to 5pm. It’s a good idea to arrive at opening time to beat the crowds and secure a poolside or shaded spot.

Alanya is packed with attractions and activities that the whole family will enjoy. Ride the Telerifik cable car up to the hilltop Alanya Castle, explore Damalatas Cave, or cruise along the coast on a pirate ship. The Sealanya aquarium is a fun choice for a rainy day, but when the sun’s shining, you can’t go wrong with a day at Kleopatra Beach.
