Where a card says no price or no hours listed, the venue does not publish it. We would rather leave the gap than fill it with a guess. Prices come from each venue's own website, and we publish one only when the figure appears on the page we took it from. Tell us if we are missing one you know.

Do adults have to pay?
It varies more than you would expect, from free to full price, and it changes the cost of a visit by a lot when there are two of you. The price on each card is what it costs to get a child in. None of the places on this page publish a price, so call ahead before you rely on a figure from anywhere else.
Do I need to book ahead?
Yes at a water park in summer. A public pool is usually walk-in, but sessions can be capped. Where a venue publishes a booking page, the listing links straight to it.
What should I bring?
Swimwear, a towel, sun cream, water shoes and a padlock for a locker. Whatever else you need is in the notes beside the listings above.
