Four New Water Attractions to Open at Aquasplash Antibes

(eap) Aquasplash Antibes, located on the Côte d’Azur in southern France, has announced an extensive expansion of its attraction portfolio for the upcoming summer season. From 13 June, guests at the water park, which belongs to the Spanish Parques Reunidos group, will be able to discover four new water attractions. As a result of the expansion, the park – which is located in the vicinity of Marineland, closed in 2024 – will grow by a total of 14,000 square meters of additional space. According to the park, this corresponds to an increase of almost 40 percent of its total area.
