The Wave Waterpark

We decided to take a trip to Coventry on Sunday and experience The Wave which is a fully enclosed waterpark. Having pre-booked the check was very simple. We were all given wristbands which after a bit of fiddling managed to open the lockers in the changing village. You first walking past The Reef which is themed for smaller children and has slides, tipping bucket and water jets. Then you have a choice of the wave pool which is the largest in the UK or the smooth flowing lazy river. The other option is choosing one of the 6 flumes on offer with three of them riding on inflatables. Unfortunately on the the day we visited The Torrent was not available! The Wave is well staffed and all are polite and helpful. We parked in the Salt Lane carpark where if you enter you car reg in The Wave on a wall tablet you will receive a discount.

The waterpark has the right idea but hasn’t quite got it right. Went off peak 4.30pm session on a Friday. Park was really quiet hardly any queues (less than 4 people infront of you for every slide!) which was really good! The baby park downstairs is in completely the wrong place, it’s feezing cold for any young ones or babies due to the draft coming through the changing rooms. Our baby was shivering when we went down there, so we couldn’t stay. The water also isn’t the warmest, and the air is also quite cold when you’re not in the water. The slides looked really good, the lazy river is a little bit small & the wave pool is tiny. The circle shape of the building is good but really annoying when you’ve done a few laps of the building to get to slides. They could do with some rubber matting because it’s really slippery even when walking round. Staff are all quite young, but very friendly and looked to be on the ball with safety. Overall it wasn’t too bad, more suitable for kids 10-16 than any other age. & wish it was a bit warmer!
