ContentsHighlights
Most of Aquaboulevard’s water attractions are tucked away under the roof. There are several outdoor pools and sandy beaches. Once here, guests can feel like they are in the real tropics, as coconut palms and other exotic plants are planted near the pools. Visitors to the water park awaits a lot of fun – jacuzzis, hot tubs, “lazy river”, different-sized fountains, picturesque waterfalls and foaming geysers, so it is not surprising that many people prefer to spend the whole day in Aquabulvar.

For lovers of active recreation here are built several slides, and the most extreme of them has a speaking name “Aquamikaze”. Some of the slides are single, while others are visited by companies to ride together on large inflatable circles. On the territory of the Aquaboulevard in Paris there is everything necessary for a comfortable rest – deck chairs, mattresses, balls and canoes. Everyone loves the “sea wave” that regularly runs through the large pool. Every quarter of an hour, before it appears, a warning signal sounds.
After slides and swimming, guests of Aquabulvar come to relax in the relaxation area. They have a pleasant time in a traditional Finnish sauna, biosauna or Turkish hammam. Nearby there is a pool with cool water and contrast showers. In the water complex there is a solarium, a special pool for aqua aerobics, equipped gyms and several indoor and outdoor tennis courts. You can play squash, bowling, miniature golf and browse the sports stores.
.For hungry visitors, Aquaboulevard offers restaurants, bars, cafes and snack bars. And that’s not all! Those who are tired of water and sports entertainment can enjoy any of the 14 movie theaters equipped with surround sound.
