World Waterpark West Edmonton Mall

World's largest water park

Although the West Edmonton Mall is, according to its name, more a place for extensive shopping tours, you can also experience a lot of adventures in the cool water here: World Waterpark is the largest indoor water park in the world and opened back in 1986. The facility can handle an attendance of up to 40,000 visitors. To add to its unique status, the waterpark also has the largest wave pool in the world, which holds 12.3 million liters.

A paradise of water slides

In addition to these impressive figures, the facility also has other highlights in store. The park has a total of 23 water slides, which can be used by the smallest beginners up to the most daring adults. For inexperienced (non-) swimmers, a slide such as the Carribean Cruiser is ideal, on which the little ones can also whiz down with their parents. At the end, a 1 m deep pool awaits them, which they reach at a moderate speed for children. There is also the Dolphin Kiddie Pool, teeming with water toys, where the fun knows no bounds.

From beginner to intrepid pro

However, if you're a little older and more advanced, slides like the Blue Bullet or Raging Rapids are recommended. Here you'll find your way through tunnels and sometimes plant-lined tubes and land in deep waters, so a minimum height of 1.20 m and the ability to swim are required. However, if this no longer poses a challenge for you, you can also take advantage of more challenging slides. One of the best known for such an adventure is the so-called Thunderbolt. On this slide you can glide down a relatively steep slide on water boards and thus increase your speed by a lot. For the ultimate thrill, don't miss the Sky Screamer Extreme, which really lives up to its name.

If you want to relax a bit after all these thrilling rides, you can also relax in one of the two whirlpools of the complex and find some variety.

If you don't want to dive down the slides of the world's largest water park, there are plenty of alternatives at West Edmonton Mall. If you're looking for pure relaxation, check out one of the mall's myriad spas. For example, the Spa at Eveline Charles offers a wide range of hair and skin care products that can be professionally applied on-site. In addition, the facility offers relaxing massages, so you can simply unwind here. You can also get pampered at the RAIN Salon, where you can also get a manicure or pedicure to make you shine again. Female visitors to the mall will find relaxation on a different level, especially at SpaLady. Here, the fitness of the ladies is especially in demand, because the operators of the shop have specialized in sports courses such as aerobics or stretching, so that body and mind are challenged here.
