Park attractions
Aquafan offers attractions for everyone, from families to young thrill-seekers. The
Wave Pool, the large pool that simulates sea waves, is one of the most popular attractions. The
Kamikaze,
Black Hole and
M280 are the park's most adrenaline-pumping slides. Recently opened was the
Blue Rock, an island within the
Slow River consisting of a whirlpool pool and areas of different sizes that can be booked for exclusive use to spend private moments with family or friends (paid attraction).
Foam party and entertainment
The park organizes special evenings with events and performances. The most famous is the
Foam Party, which sees the large Wave Pool transformed into a huge pool of foam, where people dance and have fun in a surreal atmosphere. For more than 20 years, moreover, days at Aquafan have been enlivened by the music and guests of
Radio DeeJay broadcasts, which moves to Riccione in the summer.
Children
The park has areas with slides and pools dedicated exclusively to children. The
Arca Beach consists of a large Noah's Ark to explore and then descend to the pool via 4 slides, while the
Elephant Pool offers slides suitable for very small children and the
Antartica Baby Beach recreates the landscape of the South Pole.
Children under adult supervision are allowed access to the
Wave Pool,
Slow River,
