Waterslides are irresistible for kids, and a great way for adults to unleash their inner child. Vancouver has some fun ones, so grab the floaties, and head to these swirling, twirling slides around the city.

Cultus Lake Waterpark
A family outing to BC’s largest water park is well worth the trip. With rides for all sizes and temperaments, this 35+ year-old park has something for everyone. The Bazooka Bowls, Rattler, Tubular Terror and Valley of Fear should satisfy the risk-takers! For the little ones, there are plenty of gentle slides from Pirate’s Cove and the Kiddie Castle to the Turtle Pool. And for grownups, there’s WIFI and five hot tubs.
Cultus Lake Waterpark is open daily from 11 am – 6 pm.
If water slides are all a bit too intimidating, we’ve got plenty of options for watery fun!

Big Splash Water Slide Park
Twist, splash, loop-de-loop and scream your head off at this revamped waterslide extravaganza, which sprawls across 7-acres and features renovated body slides, tube slides and kids friendly slides and splash pad. Located in Tsawwassen, it’s the closest big water slide park to Vancouver.
Harrison’s floating waterpark
Quite possibly the only water park in BC located on a lake, Harrison’s home game version of “Wipeout” is located on Harrison Lake just in front of the Harrison Hot Springs Resort & Spa (which makes warming up after sliding super handy!). This floating fun park offers madcap adventure and fun for the entire family. Tickets are $39 for a two-hour pass. (Ages 10+, Ages 6-9 parent supervision, 0-5 years are not permitted)
Granville Island Water Park
Nothing beats a free water park. This one has two giant slides and multiple tubes and fountains for hours of family entertainment. For your crawlers and wobblers, the park also offers a designated teeny-tot water section for splashing. Open seven days a week from July until Labour Day in September from 10 am to 6 pm. But open on weekends right now! Yes I figured. Please note again this year, there is no water slide or lifeguards due to pandemic restrictions. Free.
1318 Cartwright Street, Vancouver
You need to add the Otter Coop Pool in Aldergrove! They have small water slides as well as big tube slides and it is owned by the township of Langley so super cheap for families!
Done!
