As we got there, the kids then got changed into their swimming costumes and headed to the pools. There was a couple of different pools on the ground floor, whilst five of the slide rides were only accessible by going up a couple of floors of stairs.
There were also a lot of slides outside the main pool area - two rides in particular, called "The Vortex" and "The Screamer" which were particularly terrifying. Unsurprisingly, the majority of the kids had no problem going on these rides at all! For the littler kids that came on the trip, there were fortunately a huge amount of rides for them to go on - there was the "Mississippi Drifter" where they used round orange tyres/rings to float down mini rapids, and the "Colorado Coaster" was a bit of a bigger ride but still wasn't too fast or scary for some of the juniors.
The day ended up going so quickly that many of the children didn't want to leave at the end, even though it had been over three hours spent in the water park. A mars bar and water bottle for a quick treat was given out before heading back onto the bus for the hour and a half bus ride back to school.
This was definitely one of their more favourite activities and I'm sure they will be more than happy to go to Splashdown again!
