Faliraki WaterPark
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As a family we are fairly easy to please on holiday. We consist of my dad who is 42, my 17 year old brother, my 8 year old brother and myself (I am 20). We all enjoy similar things on holiday and our ideal day is lazing around by the pool and perhaps having a little wander round local villages then having something nice to eat and drink. One thing we all love are decent waterparks. So whilst on holiday in Rhodes we planned a day out to the waterpark in Falraki as it was recommended by Thomson and we were able to purchase our tickets through them to save us queuing too much at the park itself.
Thomson did not do a set day excursion to the waterpark on the basis that it is so easy to get their by taxi and that then leaves it open for families to chose which days they ...
Advantages: Cheap, a nice day out Disadvantages: could probably be a bit boring for older kids

On Monday, the kids school had (another) teaching training day and after our next door neighbour heard me screaming at the kids for the 100th time by 11am, he suggested Kingsbury WaterPark. I'd never heard of it, so full of excitement me and Mark got the kids into the car and set off with a boot full of sarnies and crisps.
Kingsbury WaterPark is situated in Bodymoor Heath (just down the road from the Villa training ground). It covers 600 acres and inside all those acres lie 15 lakes. It was opened in 1975 and currently attracts more than 280,000 visitors a year. It was originally a series of sand and gravel pits but in the early 70's Warwickshire County Council decided to transform it into a WaterPark.

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Kingsbury Water Park
Advantages: The rides are good Disadvantages: Not many rides, hilly
Everything basically closes in faliraki after the second week in october. the waterpark was still open, thank god. For a holiday park this is pretty good, the slides are few in number but the thrills are pretty decent. We were there in late october so didnt have to queue, the park is very very hilly and i could imagine having the queue would probably make all that walking not worth it. I wouldn't go there in the busy season.
Final note---- don't go to faliraki in october!!!!!!!!!! you have been warned!!!!
And that doesn't just apply to clubbers, everything closes, restaurants! everything. we were bored out of our minds and complained to the travel agent who basically blew us off. It is VERY well known that faliraki closes so i doubt that they didnt know. ...
