The park's thematic design draws inspiration from the ancient Roman thermal bath culture of the nearby Terme di Traiano.
It is one of the largest water parks in the Lazio region of Italy.
The park's name, Aquafelix, combines the Latin words for 'water' and 'lucky' or 'happy'.
The site uses a layout that allows natural elevation changes to drive the gravity-fed water slides.
The park includes specialized water zones designed specifically for small children that are distinct from the high-thrill adult slides.
Aquafelix is an 80,000-square-meter water park located in the hills surrounding Civitavecchia, Italy. The park features a variety of water-based attractions, including the multi-lane slide 'Multisplash', the 'Katacumba' dark ride, and the 'Onda del Mar' wave pool. Designed with an ancient Roman theme, the park incorporates architectural motifs that reference the region's history. It is situated in a natural valley, utilizing the topography to integrate slides into the hillside. The facility includes dedicated swimming areas, artificial beaches, and high-speed water chutes. Visitors have access to food service areas, sun loungers, and changing room facilities throughout the grounds. It operates primarily as a seasonal family destination during the warmer months.
