Occasional Digest - a story for you

AS the British weather gets worse, the best way to spend the weekend is inside.

And thankfully, the UK is home to an amazing water attraction – with volcanoes, pirate ships and slides.

Coral Reef in Bracknell is one of the “largest interactive water worlds in England“.

Inside is a huge swimming pool, which has rapids, a lazy river, a bubble pool and also a kid’s area.

It underwent a £13million makeover back in 2017, adding in slides and water flumes.

Now home to five slides, kids can race for the fastest time on the 67m The Cannon, or opt for the Storm Chaser where you can pick your colours and sounds as you whizz down.

Poseidon’s Peril and Maelstrome are great for nervous sliders, with two-person rafts while younger riders can go on a less scary Aqua Splash ride.

Kids will love the huge pirate ship with water cannons they can fire at other swimmers, as well as a volcano that erupts water.

There is lots for adults to do too, with the Coral Spa onsite.

Inside are three saunas, as well as a Japanese steam room and two pools along with heated sun loungers.

You can also book swimming lessons as well as buy swimming gear along with snacks and drinks at the cafe.

Coral Reef Waterworld is open all year round, although closes on Tuesdays and Wednesdays outside of the holiday periods.

Tickets for 1hr30 bookings start from £11.20, with kids under five going free.

Previous guests have also raved about the attraction.

One mum wrote: “I’ve been going here since I was a little girl (now 41!) and bringing my 7-year-old son here regularly since he was born.

“It’s always been so much fun, can’t recall a single bad experience here or a time I had anything negative to say.”

Another wrote: “We’ve been to Splashdown, Water World, Alton Towers, etc. Coral Reef is probably the best of the bunch.”

A third added: “This place rocked. I wish we had something like this when I was growing up. The kids must have gone on each slide about 30 times.”
