The Aquapark's water features operate using gravity-fed systems sourced from local mountain streams.
The exhibition space explores the 'Krimml Waterfall Phenomenon,' including the documented health benefits of negative air ionization near the falls.
It is integrated into the larger infrastructure of the Krimml Falls hiking trail, which is the fifth highest waterfall in the world.
The center utilizes an interactive 'Aqua-movie' projection that simulates the movement of water through the High Tauern landscape.
Designers incorporated specific fluid mechanics experiments that allow users to measure water flow velocity and vortex formation.
Water Worlds Krimml is an interactive educational center focused on the physics and ecology of water, located at the base of the Krimml Waterfalls. The facility integrates an indoor exhibition, an outdoor Aquapark, and a multi-vision cinema to explain the hydrological cycle. The Aquapark features hands-on water management tools, including Archimedes' screws, water mills, and spillways designed for experimental play. It serves as the official visitor gateway to the Hohe Tauern National Park specifically regarding the waterfall area. The exhibition uses sensory displays to demonstrate the power of hydroelectric energy and the biological importance of mountain streams.

Bring a change of clothes for children, as the Aquapark is designed for interactive water play.
Visit the indoor cinema first to gain context on the geological history of the waterfalls before walking the trails.
Use the waterproof storage lockers available on-site if you intend to hike to the higher levels of the waterfalls afterward.
Do not treat the Aquapark as a swimming pool; it is designed for interactive physics education, not bathing.
Open only during the summer season, typically from late spring through late autumn; closed during winter months.
Non-slip footwear is strongly recommended due to wet surfaces in the Aquapark area.
