UK seaside town opens 'amazing' 440ft slip and slide park - costs £14
A giant 440ft slip and slide attraction in Cornwall is preparing to welcome visitors seven days a week as families flock to one of the UK's biggest summer attractions. Giant Slip & Slide Cornwall, located near St Columb Major, features seven huge water slides stretching across a sprawling green field and is claimed to be the largest slip and slide experience in the world.
The popular attraction, which has been running every summer for the past decade, is currently open on weekends but will switch to daily opening from July 22 through to the end of the summer season.
Just a short drive from popular holiday hotspots Newquay and Padstow, the family-run attraction offers visitors the chance to race down giant inflatable slides, take part in water pistol battles and enjoy a day out suitable for all ages.
Tickets cost £14 per person, plus a booking fee, and include full access to the park along with the use of rings and bodyboards. Children under five can enter free of charge.
Organisers recommend visitors wear wetsuits to protect against friction on the slides, although wetsuit hire is available from £3.50. Guests can wear any clothing suitable for getting wet, provided it does not contain hard zips.
The attraction is designed to operate in all weather conditions, meaning visitors can enjoy the slides whether the Cornish sunshine appears or not.
The park has built up a loyal following over the years, with many visitors praising it as a must-visit family attraction.
One reviewer said: "Such an amazing place with fantastic people. I would highly recommend a visit. It's great for the whole family and all ages."
Another described it as their "favourite activity in Cornwall", while a third revealed they had visited twice in the same week because their children enjoyed it so much.
With the school summer holidays fast approaching, organisers are expecting another busy season as families look for affordable ways to stay entertained during the warmer months.
