This guide gives you the exact visitor decisions: what to book, which rules to check, what children can ride, how the 3-hour swim time works, where to park, and when to call before travelling.

Decision Cards: Which Alpamare Plan Fits Your Visit?

Choose by visitor need. This helps avoid buying a waterpark ticket when you needed spa access, or buying a thrill-slide visit for a child below the minimum height.

Family swim day

Best route: selected-date waterpark booking.

  • Check age categories.
  • Plan for 3-hour waterpark access.
  • Read under-8 supervision rules.

Thrill-slide day

Best route: check height and age first.

  • Cresta Run: 1.1m and age 6+.
  • Olympic Run: 1.2m and age 6+.
  • Black Run / Snowstorm: 1.2m and age 8+.

Spa and relaxation

Best route: use Wellness & Spa planning.

  • Spa entrance is separate on the price page.
  • Treatments may need phone booking.
  • Check medical and treatment terms first.

Voucher redemption

Best route: redeem online in advance.

  • One voucher per transaction.
  • Use the 16-digit code at checkout.
  • Third-party voucher-site purchases may be refused.

Slides, Pools and Ride Rules

Alpamare lists four state-of-the-art slides, a wave pool, a Splash and Play area, heated outdoor garden pool and outdoor heated infinity pool. Use the rules below before buying tickets for children.

Attraction Official-source detail Practical visitor tip
Cresta Run Minimum 1.1m and age 6+. Best first height check for younger children wanting a major slide.
Olympic Run Minimum 1.2m and age 6+. Confirm height before queuing because 1.2m is the key threshold.
Black Run Minimum 1.2m and age 8+. Better for confident swimmers and thrill riders.
Snowstorm Minimum 1.2m and age 8+. Explain the age rule before arrival if a younger child wants this ride.
Wave pool The wave pool erupts every 30 minutes with metre-high waves. Keep weak swimmers close and avoid wave sessions if children dislike water over the face.
Outdoor pools The accessibility statement describes an outdoor garden pool and outdoor infinity pool. Check the live notice if a pool is limited, closed or weather-affected.
Important access note: the accessibility statement says the four large slides are accessed by several flights of stairs, with no lift in the slide tower.

Children, Babies and Non-Swimmer Rules

This is the section parents should read before checkout. Ticket availability does not remove supervision duties inside the waterpark.

Children under 12

Children under 12 are only permitted when accompanied by an adult, and adults must actively supervise them during the whole stay.

Children under 8

Children under 8 should be supervised in the water by a responsible person aged 16 or over, with a maximum of two under-8s per adult in the water.

Children under 4

Children under 4 should be supervised one-to-one in the water, regardless of whether they can swim.

Weak and non-swimmers

Weak or non-swimmers must be supervised and may need flotation aids. Non-swimmers are only permitted in pool and slide areas when accompanied by a competent swimmer or wearing flotation aids.

Parent check: if one adult is bringing several young children, confirm the supervision ratio before booking. The ticket basket may work, but the water rule still applies.

Voucher and Discount Rules to Check Before Checkout

Alpamare’s terms include specific rules for selected voucher promotions. Use this section to avoid a failed discount at checkout or entry.

Voucher issue Official-source rule Safe action
Redeeming vouchers Vouchers must be redeemed online in advance of the visit. Do not arrive expecting staff to manually fix a voucher at the desk.
Code entry Terms describe entering a unique 16-digit voucher code during checkout. Test the code in the official checkout before final planning.
One voucher limit One voucher per transaction. Do not stack multiple vouchers or combine with other offers unless the official basket allows it.
Third-party voucher sites Damaged, defaced, photocopied or vouchers purchased from third-party voucher sites will not be accepted. Avoid paying unknown coupon websites for Alpamare codes.
What is excluded Voucher terms say spa access, paid treatments, food, refreshments and travel are not included. Budget these separately even if your swim ticket is discounted.

Facilities, Food, Wristbands and Accessibility

These practical details affect the real experience more than a small ticket discount: lockers, wristbands, outside-food rules, step-free access, carer support and slide-tower stairs.

Need Official-source detail Visitor action
Wristband The wristband records arrival and leaving time, locks and unlocks lockers, and supports cashless restaurant payments. Keep it safe. A lost wristband can cause a fee if proof of purchase is not produced.
Lockers Lockers are provided, but guests remain responsible for securing valuables. Check the locker is fully locked before entering pools or slides.
Food and drink Food and beverage purchased elsewhere may not be brought onto the premises. Eat before arrival or budget for food inside.
Restaurant timing The ticket page says the restaurant opens at 11am and food service stops before closing. Check selected-date restaurant timing if you are booking late.
Accessibility Accessible toilets, changing, lower lockers, pool wheelchair, flotation devices and some pool hoists are listed. Read the accessibility statement or call before visiting with specific access needs.
Carer rule A carer may accompany full-paying guests with disabilities without charge; proof may be required. Bring a Blue Badge, DLA letter or contact Alpamare if your proof is different.
Accessibility planning tip: pool and restaurant areas are described as ground-level and step-free, but the slide tower requires stairs. Match the visit to the attractions your group can use.
