Quaywest waterpark in devon is a great way to take up 1 day of a holiday. This fairly compact park has a good range of slides and pools, varying from a baby pool to a 30 ft 80 degree angle flume drop, which i was fortunate enough to rip my shorts on.
Getting there is easy as it is situated just off the main road towards Brixham from Torbay. The prices also aren't bad when compared to other local attractions or similar venues abroad such as typhoon lagoon in Florida.
There is every kind of water ride including single flumes and double slides on rubber rings to a water rapids where many people can go on at the same time.
On arrival, there was a fairly unorganised queue to the front entrance but parking was easy. The changing rooms are a squeeze when entering as their are probably only approximately 60-70 changing facilities with sevral hundred trying to get changed and getting a locker can have the same problem.
the queues for the bigger slides are long but are well managed with a few young people attempting to push in, being sent to the back of the queue. Even though the queues are long, they do not take a long time due to the type of ride and the longest i was waiting for any single slide was less than 10 mins. There were however too many people crammed into the main pool (which has a fun wave machine) which is not huge and lifeguards didnt seem to bothered by the overcrowding.
you can lay a towel out and sunbath pretty much anywhere in the park but space is limited but alternatively you could go to the white sandy beach just 2 mins walk from the park and get a hand stamp to get entry back into the park whenever ready. The beach just outside the park is beautiful with many other attractions very close by such as pitch and putt golf,go karts and crazy golf as well as tennis courts all open to the public.
For the less adventurous adults there is also a cafe/bar area with plenty of picnic tables too relax on.
This is a fantastic day out and well worth the visit, as long as you go on a hot day, this being Britain of course.
