Splash Into Bulgaria: Waterparks You Can’t Miss
If you’re planning a summer holiday in Bulgaria and want something fun for the whole family and your idea of a perfect summer day includes water slides, wave pools, and a place where both kids and adults can laugh for hours, then you're in luck.
We’ve checked out five parks across the country, and each one brings something special. Some are huge with crazy slides, others are calm and relaxing. Let’s dive into the best waterparks in Bulgaria and help you find your perfect splash zone.
Aquapark Nessebar
This is the biggest waterpark in Bulgaria, and honestly, it feels huge. Located near the beautiful town of Nessebar, Aqua Paradise is perfect if you're staying in the area or even in Sunny Beach nearby. The moment you enter, there’s water fun everywhere – more than 40 attractions, lazy rivers, wave pools, and slides that twist in every direction.
One of the best slides here is the “Space Jam,” a super fast slide that throws you into a giant funnel. There’s also the “Kamikaze” for the brave ones – it’s really high and really fast. Kids have their own area with smaller slides and water play zones, so parents can relax a bit while the little ones stay busy.
Aqua Paradise is a must if you are staying in Nessebar. We spent the whole day here and still didn’t try every ride!” Just make sure to arrive early – during high season, it gets crowded quickly.
Ovoshtnik Water Land – Near Kazanlak
This one is a bit different. Ovoshtnik Water Land is not as big as others, but it has its own charm. It’s more peaceful, surrounded by nature and hills. Many families come here to relax, swim, and enjoy a sunny day without too much noise.
There are a few slides, a big pool, and also hot mineral water pools. That’s something unique – the water here feels warm and nice for the skin. If you don’t want to rush around the whole day and just want to enjoy water with your kids, this place is a good choice.
Some guests mention that it’s less expensive than the coastal parks.
If you’re staying in Sunny Beach, Action Aquapark is the closest option and a really fun one. It's colorful, clean, and packed with activities. It has over 30 water attractions, including the “Free Fall” slide, which is exactly as scary as it sounds. For families, there are calmer options like the lazy river, pools with fountains, and a big kids’ zone.
There’s a tropical garden feeling, with palm trees and a lot of green around. People often say the staff are friendly and helpful.
The food is okay – not super cheap, but standard for a park like this. If you’re choosing between Aqua Paradise and Action Aquapark and want a slightly smaller but still exciting experience, this is a great pick.
Aquapark Aquamania – Albena
This park is inside the Albena resort, and many people say it's one of the cleanest waterparks in Bulgaria. It’s modern, very family-oriented, and the queues aren’t as long as in the more popular ones. The attractions are a mix of thrill and chill.
You should definitely try the “Mammoth” slide – you go down in a big raft with others, and it’s a lot of fun. For younger kids, there’s a pirate zone with small slides and water fountains. There’s also a wave pool and a river that takes you through different zones in the park.
Compared to Aqua Paradise or Action Aquapark, Aquamania is not as big but feels more relaxed and comfortable, especially for those with younger children.
So, which waterpark fits your holiday vibe? Maybe you're looking for a full day of wild rides and excitement – then head to Aquapark Nessebar. Want a calm place surrounded by nature? Ovoshtnik Water Land is calling. If you’re near Sunny Beach, Action Aquapark brings the fun close to home. Aquamania offers a chill and clean place to enjoy with kids.
No matter which one you choose, these parks are all about fun, family time, and cooling off in the best way possible.
