The pirate-themed water attraction has a host of attractions, including 10 water slides, a wave pool, a lazy river and a wave simulator.
For younger park-goers, there’s a baby pool shaped like a pirate shape that features a small water slide.
Older children will enjoy the lazy river, which winds under huge open-mouth sea creature structures.
There’s also a giant pirate ship with climbing frames, rope bridges, and slides, letting kids immerse themselves in a swashbuckling adventure.
Other water-based features include a jacuzzi, an aquagym and aquadance classes.
Live pirate shows also take place throughout the day with actors breaking out into sword fights and action taking place on a 50m-long zip line.
Other shows also take place at night, with more special effects being used.
Treasure hunts also take place at the waterpark as well as pirate meet and greets.
There’s also a pirate-themed mini golf course.
Park-goers who are hungry will be pleased to know there’s themed dining at the water park where pirate-themed dishes are served.
Pirates World shut for the winter season in September and should reopen to the public in May.
Sun Online Travel have found entry tickets to Pirates World from £23.22 per person.
