ONE of the UK’s largest indoor waterparks is set to close next week until next year.
Despite usually remaining open year-round, Aqua Park in Stoke-on-Trent will close for renovations next week.
The park is part of Waterworld and will be closed from November 2 until early next year.
The park is hosting a ‘Last Splash’ party on November 1 before the closure with a DJ between 12pm and 4pm.
Few details have been revealed about the renovation, but the park currently has 30 rides and attractions.
The website simply states that it cannot wait to welcome back visitors with “exciting upgrades”.

Wayne Goodall, Managing Director of Waterworld Leisure Resort, said: “Our closing party is the perfect chance for visitors to make a last splash with us before we close for a short time to make exciting changes across the Aqua Park.
“At its heart, Waterworld offers families a place to spend time together, escape from everyday life and enjoy that holiday feeling, whatever the weather.
“The upgrades we have planned are set to build on that sense of fun and enhance the way we tell our story, creating a more immersive experience for our guests.
“We can’t wait to reveal more about the upcoming investment soon.”
Adventure Mini Golf and Adventure Mini Village will remain open while the Aqua Park undergoes renovation.
Waterworld first opened in 1989 and is heated to a toasty 30C year-round, with numerous different slides such as Cyclone, Hurricane and Stormchaser.
There are racing slides as well and even a water rollercoaster.
If thrill rides aren’t your thing though, you can relax in the wave pool or bubble pools.
There’s also a rapids area, hot tubs and a children’s splash area.
