Splashdown Waterpark, Poole. “There’s something for everyone – from big kids to little ones – with some of the UK’s most exciting waterflumes. For the thrill-seekers, brave the Screamer with its sheer vertical drop. Plunge into darkness on the Black Thunder. And hold on to your pants as you shoot down the Spacebowl like a human pinball. Or if that sounds a bit like hard work, just go with the flow on the Mississippi Drifter.” As always, this is just a small selection of what’s on offer in Dorset for Easter, and there’s much more to choose from to keep adults and children of all ages active, entertained and happy over the Easter holidays.
