Hidropark Water Park Entry Ticket Alcúdia Mallorca

Hidropark Alcúdia, the water park of northern Mallorca

Hidropark sits in the heart of Port d'Alcúdia, a few minutes from the long sandy beach of Alcúdia Bay, and it is the only water park in the north of the island. Most of Mallorca's big water parks are clustered around Palma and Magaluf, so for families staying in Alcúdia, Ca'n Picafort, Playa de Muro or Port de Pollença this is by far the easiest water park day out, with no long drive across the island.

The park is laid out around a central lawn shaded by palms, with the pools and slides grouped around it, so it never feels like a maze. If you are wondering whether Hidropark Alcúdia is worth visiting, think of it as a relaxed family water park rather than an extreme thrill park: it is at its best for children and teenagers, and for parents who want a pool day with something for everyone.

Slides, the wave pool and the thrill rides

For older children and adults, the stars of the park are the twisting spiral slide and the super slalom, a multi-lane run where friends can race each other to the splash pool. There are also giant water balls to try to walk across, a wave pool where artificial waves roll in at intervals, and bigger pools for swimming and floating in the sun.

Queues are short early in the day, so start with the slides and save the wave pool for the hottest hours after lunch. Lifeguards watch the pools and slide exits throughout the day, and each slide has its own height and age rules posted at the entrance; the staff at the top will tell you which ones suit younger children. Water shoes are handy on the hot paving between rides.

Hidrokid and the family areas

Younger visitors have their own Hidrokid zone, a shallow play area with small slides, fountains and water features designed for toddlers and young children. Around it you will find float boats, bouncy castles and super jumpers, so little ones can switch between the water and dry play whenever they like.

The big green lawn is one of the park's best features: you can set up for the day on sun loungers under the palms, always within sight of the children's pools. The park has a self-service restaurant and a snack kiosk for lunch, ice creams and cold drinks; bringing your own food and drinks into the park is not allowed. Because you can leave and re-enter the same day, some families pop back to their hotel for lunch or a rest and return for the afternoon.

Planning your visit: how to get there and the best time

How to get to Hidropark Alcúdia? The park is in Port d'Alcúdia, within walking distance of many hotels along the beach road, and local buses and taxis run along the coast from Ca'n Picafort, Playa de Muro and Port de Pollença. The ticket does not include transport, and there is a separate mini golf next to the park that is not part of the entry.

The best time to visit Hidropark is on a sunny day in the summer season, arriving soon after opening for the quietest slides and the best loungers. Bring swimwear, a towel and plenty of sunscreen, and pair your visit with a stroll through the medieval walls of Alcúdia's old town or an evening on the beach promenade. Hidropark tickets bought in advance let you go straight to reception and show your voucher on arrival.
