Aqua Park Alton is a floating inflatable water park on Alton Water, with slides, a kicker feature, jump stations, a giant swing, and the Monkey Dome climbing obstacle, all tackled in one-hour sessions. It suits friends, families, groups, schools and celebration parties, though you must be able to swim 25 metres unaided, be at least 1.2 metres tall and aged six or over. Buoyancy aids are provided, and a dedicated car park sits near the dam. The wider park also offers cycling, fishing, walking trails and on-site camping. Based in Holbrook, Babergh, it's well placed for a stay nearby, with Wrabness station 2.8 miles away, Manningtree Beach 3.9 miles away, and 24 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays.
