Bundoran's Waterworld including 'Whizzer slide' to open at the beginning of April

One of Donegal most popular tourist attractions, Bundoran's 'Waterworld' will open to the public for the season on Monday April 3, at 11am.

And The Whizzer slide which was not in operation during last season will be back open and will join all of the existing features like the Tornado, the Gravity speed slide, the wave pool, the rapids, the three lane multi slide and toddler pool.

The popular indoor waterpark, which has been a firm family favourite for 3 decades, will be open for the full two weeks of the Easter break, a traditionally busy time in the seaside resort.

Waterworld has been part of the childhood experience growing up in the north west 

Work has been continuing over the winter months to ensure the facility is ready to throw open its doors at the start of April and welcome guests from both the locality and further afield.

Waterworld General Manager Aine Temple is looking forward to seeing people in the pools again

"We’ve been missing the hustle and bustle and the noise of happy guests in Waterworld over the past few months and now we’re itching to get open again and welcome people through the doors. We’ve been busy since last September getting the place ready with the addition of our new Waterworld shop and seating area”
Entry to Waterworld will once again be through the online booking system which will open on Monday March 20 at 10am for booking for Easter and will be available via the website www.waterworldbundoran.com/booking
One other major change this year will be the mandatory wearing of swim hats into the pools. Guests can bring their own or purchase one on site on arrival.
Chairman of Bundoran Waterworld Cllr Michael McMahon noted the work undertaken during
the winter months said:

‘Once Waterworld closes in September, the work begins for the following season.

"While a lot of it is behind the scenes, it is all for the greater good of the facility. I’d like to compliment Aine and her team on all the work that has been done since last September. We look forward to one of Bundoran’s major tourist attractions being opened again for the full season this year.’
