Britain’s biggest outdoor waterpark is the perfect location to enjoy a summer holidays day out with friends and family. Boasting eight slides, Splashdown Quaywest stands a stone’s throw away from Goodrington Beach in Paignton, Devon.
The waterpark offers visitors a variety of adrenalin-pumping slides, from the 65ft near-vertical plunge into a black hole of the Devil’s Drop to the high speeds of The Screamer.
Thrill-seekers will love the Wild Kamikaze slide, which will see them race through 60 meters of slide into three steep drops.
Launched in 2023, the 3Fall slide will be the perfect way to test family and friend groups’s abilities with a head-first mat race.
Visitors looking for an easier day on the flumes can test their skills on the Corkscrew, a mat ride taking you through 98m of turns ready to make your head spin.
Little ones will get to enjoy their share of the fun with another seven slides specifically designed to their taste in Captain Lewey’s Shipwreck Island.
Splashdown Quaywest boasts a 3.5 rating on TripAdvisor, with users gushing about the fun days spent at the park with their family and friends.

And one visitor from Nottingham said: “What a hidden gem! Had an amazing time with kids (6 & 11) where all the slides were available to them, could do with some additional staff just to supervise people on rides.”
The park is open daily from 9 am to 7 pm until September 1. A new 10 am to 5 pm schedule will then be implemented until September 4.
Splashdown Quaywest will be open on weekends for the whole of September before shutting down at the end of the season until next year.
Day tickets are available for £30 and anyone aged five to eight can get in for £25.
