Can anyone point me to a website for the new waterpark?

http://www.traveltofethiye.co.uk/explore/activities/oludeniz-water-world-aqua-park/
This has information on how to book but not a direct site I am afraid. I know people who have just been and enjoyed it
-
We booked with focus tours on the prom , kids really enjoyed it
-
Do you have to book in advance or can you just turn up on the day if you feel like it?
-
Just turn up , its 35 lir for 2-12 year olds and 45 lire for adults for all day, no part day prices im afraid. We took our grandkids and they loved it.
-
Brilliant, thanks. :)

Well, we went today and the verdict was that it was fantastic
There was 5 of us including a 14 and 2yr old. Plenty to do for all ages, loads of shaded areas for when it was a little hot. The slides were great and all in great condition as you would expect from a newly opened park.
You can't take food or drink in but instead buy a card topped up with cash. Anything you don't spend you get back. Food and drink is reasonably priced.
In addition they have a child's play area, outside space was a little hot due to the us but the covered area was great with a play kitchen and painting/drawing materials.
The park was well staffed with the slides being watched very closely which was good.
We will go back again before we go home

My son has just returned from a trip to the new water park. He is 24 and his girlfriend is 22. They were picked up in Calis at 9 am and they walked out of the park at 11.10. They said there were only 7 slides and of those one didn't open till 1.30 nor did the lazy river. The pools at the ends of the shoot were inadequate and not really very safe. There was inadequate supervision at the slides so children were going down before the last person had cleared. In summary don't waste your money and stay away.

There's a new Water Park opened in Hisaronu, behind Churchills and the Gurol Hotel
on Bar St. I don't know much about it but it opened in June while I was there and I can
see the tops of the slides and the platform from my balcony and it seemed very busy.
-
Isn't it interesting, two groups visit what would appear to be the same place on the same day and they have different opinions of it
-
Interesting in that both accounts can't be true ;)
For starters, it was either "well staffed with the slides being watched very closely" (you) or "there was inadequate supervision at the slides so children were going down before the last person had cleared" (quelchy). On the same day...
-
That's very true. What I saw was:
6 slides opened max at any one time, with 3 staff watching them at the top and 2 at the bottom. Lots of whistle blowing when people stepped out of line.
I did see a couple of kids chancing their arm when staff back was turned and going down quickly together but would hardly put this down to staff supervision.
I can only go on what I observed and from my pov it was to the same standard, if not better, than those similar parks/pools in the UK
-
Are both posters talking about the same water park though.
Ovacik through to Olu Deniz covers a big area.Iv'e mentioned
one other and I think there are more. Just a thought.
-
I am guessing so as the other poster mentioned it was 'New' and it had a 'Lazy River'
This is the one I went to

I went today and agree with Steve's comments however I thought the following in addition, the steps to get out of the pools you slide into are too high and im over 6 ft. Making it difficult to get out for smaller people. The pool with the wave machine is far too slippery as it is a gradual slope to get in and you can very easily slip over.
The lazy river is only on at certain times. It is just a 5 ft wide moat. Knee deep when switched off. I went in it and flipped backward and nearly knocked mysalf out, i have a lump on the back of my head the size of half an orange.
Would i go back? Yes i would. It was a good way to spend a tenner. (Bar the lump).

We went back today. Attached are a coupe of pics
