Bellewaerde Aquapark

About

Bellewaerde Aquapark, which opened in 2019, is a 3,000 m² water playground situated within the Bellewaerde theme park in the West Flemish countryside near Ypres, Belgium. The Aquapark is surrounded by the same lush gardens and landscaping that make the Bellewaerde theme park a beloved destination for families and thrill‑seekers alike. Visitors can experience a range of water rides – from high‑speed slides and a wave pool to a flow‑free lazy river that weaves through landscaped gardens. The park’s linear layout covers roughly 30 m × 100 m, with attractions arranged in a “water‑park‑meets‑theme‑park” fashion, providing a splash‑friendly space for guests of all ages. The design prioritises easy foot traffic, with comfortable seating, shaded cafés and a clean, well‑maintained environment, making it ideal for a relaxed day out. Operating seasonally to align with Belgium’s weather patterns, the Aquapark is typically open from April to October, offering refreshed water attractions each year. It complements Bellewaerde’s traditional rides and animal exhibits, adding a refreshing splash element that appeals to families, couples, and group outings across the region.
