Baysports
About
Baysports, Ireland’s largest inflatable waterpark, sits on the scenic Hodson Bay just outside Athlone on the western shores of Lough Ree. With a record‑setting floating slide that rises 21 feet above the water, the park offers a dizzying array of inflatable slides, rockers, climbing walls and water‑based activities for guests of all ages. Families can enjoy the dedicated junior water park on shore, while thrill‑seekers can tackle the high‑speed slides. In addition to the water fun, Baysports boasts the BayCafé, a vibrant café area serving breakfast bites, burgers and hot chocolate, and a relaxing sauna & hot‑tub experience overlooking the lake. The park operates throughout the year, with private sessions for groups in the mornings and open sessions in the evenings, making it a versatile destination for day trips, corporate team‑building or a weekend getaway. A popular spot for school tours, sporting events, and seasonal festivals, Baysports also offers the BayPass season pass – a convenient way to enjoy unlimited access for a year, available for adults and children. With friendly staff, fully equipped safety gear and a welcoming atmosphere, Baysports promises a memorable family adventure. Book online or by phone to secure your spot and enjoy a splash of Irish summer adventure today.
