Overview

AquaZone is one of Europe's largest indoor water parks, housed within the Sport Ireland National Aquatic Centre. The facility features a high-speed Flow Rider surf simulator and the Master Blaster water rollercoaster, which uses water jets to propel rafts uphill. Younger visitors have access to a dedicated pirate-themed children’s play area with interactive water cannons and slides. The center includes a wave pool that generates swells reaching up to one meter in height. A lazy river flows through the park for more relaxed floating. It operates as a year-round indoor destination suitable for families and thrill-seekers.
