About the event
Het Meerdal's Aqua Mundo stands out with an extra-long 103-metre slide, alongside a wave pool, wild-water channel, rapids, outdoor pool, toddler splash pool and the new Water Play House for kids. Day visitors book online with entry times between 10.30 am and 12.30 pm, or an evening ticket from 4 pm. The neighbouring Limburgse Peel park, a few minutes' drive away, has its own simpler and cheaper Aqua Mundo. Children under 13 must be with an adult. Tip: on Fridays the Aqua Mundo stays open until 9 pm, handy for an evening swim after the drive from Belgium.
