Water park attractions in Scarborough

"Alpamare UK" in Scarborough, England, is one of the most modern and popular water park attractions in the UK, located in the picturesque coastal town in North Yorkshire. This leisure park, designed in the style of an alpine water experience, was opened after years of planning and construction and represents a significant investment in the region's tourism infrastructure. With its focus on adventure, fun, and relaxation, Alpamare offers a unique blend of adrenaline-pumping water slides, heated pools, and a wellness area that attracts visitors year-round, regardless of typical British weather.

Wellness area in alpine style

The water park covers a generous area and combines indoor and outdoor areas connected by a variety of attractions. The main attractions include four state-of-the-art water slides, each named after ski tracks and offering different difficulty levels - from family-friendly "blue runs" to challenging "black runs". One of the longest slides, the "Olympic Run", is over 100 meters long and allows for a thrilling ride in two-seater tubes, while the "Snow Storm" with its four-person rafts and a dramatic funnel provides especially exciting moments. These slides are designed to combine thrills and fun, making Alpamare a highlight for thrill-seekers.

Heated pools with sea view

Indoors, a huge wave pool dominates, regularly generating high waves and creating a lively atmosphere reminiscent of a day at the beach. For younger visitors, there is the "Splash and Play" zone, a safe area with smaller slides, water fountains, and interactive games specially designed for children. Outdoors, two heated infinity pools overlooking the North Sea impress, offering a relaxing alternative to the action-packed attractions. These pools are equipped with whirlpool bubbles and surrounded by sun loungers, creating an alpine-like wellness oasis on sunny days.

Water slides for the whole family

Another central element of Alpamare is the alpine-style wellness area, providing a peaceful retreat amidst the lively atmosphere of the water park. Here, visitors can relax in warm salt baths, use saunas, or indulge in massages. This area is designed especially for adults seeking tranquility after a busy day, setting Alpamare apart from traditional water parks by combining both adventure and relaxation.

Amusement park in North Yorkshire

The park's dining facilities are also an important part of the experience. The restaurant offers a selection of fresh, healthy foods like pasta, pizza, and salads reflecting the alpine character of the park, as well as a wide range of beverages, from non-alcoholic options to Bavarian-inspired beers. Meals are often served at tables along the pools, allowing visitors to enjoy their meals with a view of the sea. The facilities are modern and clean, with mixed changing rooms and individual cabins enhancing visitor comfort.

The surroundings of Alpamare UK benefit from Scarborough's coastal location, a town with a long tradition as a seaside resort. The park is close to other attractions such as Scarborough Castle and Peasholm Park, making it an ideal starting point for a day trip. The landscape around the water park is characterized by gentle hills and sweeping views of the North Sea, adding an interesting maritime touch to the alpine theme.

Positives-since the spa had been reopened we have been twice,most of the maintainance issues have been fixed and the Spa staff are by far the best we have come across(and we do visit a few) cannot praise them enough.The facilities are all here apart from a hot tub on the area outside the finnish sauna. Negatives-when we arrived we were told by the excellent downstairs reception lady that the infinity pool would not be open until 11,so far no problem,when we enquired in the spa at 12 we were told that we just had to ask a life guard to take the cover off so we went down and there was a lady dressed in grey with a large yellow radio walking round the pool,I said excuse me and she said can't hear you,no sorry cant hear you or ill be there in a moment,so she came round, we asked about taking off the cover and were told BLUNTLY its not open,we explained what we had been told about asking as she said dldnt kmow why they have told you that,its closed for cleaming ( whem we lookd out at 1045 the cleaning vac was on the side and hadnt moved by 1pm) ,no applogy and felt like we were school children been told off,she needs to go wherever your other staff go for training as some people are obviously not cut out for hospitality.Up until then we had ,had the perfect experience.Also I notice that no Management comment on the posts meaning that they either dont look or just don't care.

Amazing place ! A lot of fun for all family. Very nice and warm pools, main pool inside have very good waves, toddlers have good place to play and slides. Garden pools was amazing. Nice cafe inside with food and drinks. The only one negative is the fact showers was dirt and have muld inside . Hopefully they will improve that soon.

Fantastic water park with 4 great slides, a wave machine in the main pool and an outside pool. We went in half term and it was quiet but local schools must have had their half term the week before. The kids had a superb time

Absolutely brilliant. We stayed the full 3 hours and got food. No real wait for slides and pools at a lovely temperature (especially considering it's winter)

We went slightly off peak and the queues for the slides weren't too bad. I can see how it would be insane being in there at it's busiest though. The kids had a great time and the lines for the slides didn't take too long.

Bit of a wait to get in even with pre booked tickets.

We had a great time here. We have been going every now and again since it opened and it was one of our best visits today. No major queues. We booked for 10am and first hour very quiet on the slides, so chance to do plenty of runs. Even later when busier it didn't take long to get to the front. Temperature really good around the pool. Warm outside pools. Food all very good amd clean changing areas amd showers. Reccommend a spare towel or swim towel to keep warm in the cafe area. Staff really friendly and all professional, it felt well run.

Great once you get in, but shambolic queueing/entry 'system' since Flamingo Land took over. It was never this chaotic on previous visits. Took us 40 minutes from entry to getting past the ticket checks and then another ten to get poolside. Once in, the scrum died down and the wait for the various slides etc weren't overly long. Absolutely no benefit to buying tickets in advance as you just rock up in the queue with everyone else. If they operated a fast track for pre-booked tickets, that would help enormously.

Appalling conditions. Fungus in the shower, blocked drains, dirty mats for sliding, toilets in a horrible state. The water is quite cold, outside pools extremely cold. Safe to say I won't be back.

This is our third visit to Alpamare in the last 6 months and I have honestly not experienced any of the things mentioned in the negative reviews on other review sites. Customer services helpfully changed my booking when I had inadvertently booked the wrong date online and all other members of staff on the day were friendly and helpful. There were a few lockers out of order but still plenty available and large enough to share anyway. The changing area was clean and regularly mopped. It was a bitterly cold afternoon but the indoor pool area was lovely and warm, as was the large/wave pool. The garden pool was still closed, so do check before you go if this is your main driver for visiting. The infinity pool did involve braving the cold to get to it but once in the temperature was comparable with the garden pool, so very lovely. Although the first weekend of half term, it was not too busy and there were no queues for the slides, though why you'd not expect queues at this sort of venue when busy is a bit beyond me - it is not a 'swimming' pool but a water park, so no different from visiting a theme park and expecting some queues. All in all we and our Grandsons once again had a brilliant afternoon.

Absolutely amazing. We've been to a few water parks where the slide loops are inside. Here the slide loops are so huge they are not only outside, but take up an enormous space. Absolutely exhausted by the end, its a real work out too climbing up with the 4 person inflatable. It is extremely worthwhile though. As long as your child is 1.2m tall they are fi e to go on the rides (white lie, we did say our 6yr old was 8, which is the minimum age for 2 slides). I would say ypu definitely wouldn't want a nervous child going on the slides, but my son loved it and we all shed a few pounds getting to them. Wonderful fun. Not too busy and the wave machine and outdoor infinity pool was warm water and great too!

We’ve been visiting since it opened and we have just visited again after a long time and it’s so sad to see how badly standards have fallen. This was our last visit because it’s no longer worth the money. It’s no better than a council leisure centre. Such a shame. We’ve many happy memories here but it’s nowhere close to worth the admission costs. It seemed like everyone in the wave pool were overcome with coughing fits and my children left early feeling unwell. Terrible really.

Went to Alpamare 1 February 2025, staff were really nice and friendly, changing rooms really clean. The wave pool was fanastic, the children loved the slides, the outdoor pool was hot and great. The food was wholesome if a little pricey. Will definitely be going again
