General
How much does admission to the Water AREA cost?
An admission fee applies if you visit the Water AREA as a day guest.

Do I have to book my ticket for the Water AREA in advance?
You can book your ticket for the Water AREA online, or you can simply get it directly at the Water AREA ticket counter.
Is the Water AREA open in bad weather?
Yes, our activities take place in all weather conditions, unless there are safety concerns (such as thunderstorms or force majeure). In safety-critical situations, the Water AREA will be evacuated. However, the Water AREA is normally open during rain since you will get wet here anyway!
Do I have to pay the Water AREA entrance fee if I don’t want to use any of the attractions?
