There has been much speculation about entry to the new water parks situated in Lanzasur and Paradise Island in the resort of Playa Blanca, Lanzarote. We contacted both of these parks this morning to clarify who was allowed access, when they were open and what the prices were.

Lanzasur - Aqualava Waterpark

No, we were told that the water park is only for guests, it is not open to the public.

We’ve read reviews stating that adults have paid €16 and children €12 to access this park but according to the staff we spoke to at the resort today, this aqua park is definitely not open for anyone other than guests staying onsite.

The Apartamentos Lanzasur are situated on Calle Gran Canaria, by Playa Flamingo. There is no mention of the waterpark on their website. A press release from Relaxia confirmed that the company has invested 6 million Euros into the family theme park with the latest renewable energy technology. Inspired by Lanzarote, the rides are called Timanfaya and Magma River.

Update. This park is open to the public, 7 days a week 10:00 - 18:00.

Paradise Island – Dino Park

Yes, we were informed that the water park is open everyday to the public as well as guests. Summer hours are 10:00 - 18:00 and winter 11:00 to 17:00. The price is €20 per adult and €14 per child (2-12 years old and must be accompanied by an adult).
NB. Correct as of April 2013..
