Bellewaerde Aquapark
Bellewaerde's subtropical swimming pool
Next to the theme park lies Bellewaerde Aquapark, a subtropical swimming pool for the whole family. According to the park, there are 13 attractions (including 6 slides) and 2 restaurants. In 2026 the pool is open from 30 January to 3 January 2027, according to the opening calendar.
The slides
Aquaventure is the showpiece, a European first according to the park. The whole family (at least two people) climbs into a large ring. You swing from bend to bend and suddenly end up outdoors on a gigantic leaf. You need to be 1.30 metres tall, or 1.20 metres with an accompanying adult. In Splash Clash you race each other on two identical slides: if your slide turns green, you're in the lead. On the extra-wide Maxi Splash you slide down two at a time. The Regenboog takes you back to the foot of the Aqua Fort.
Play and explore
In the Aqua Fort you brave water obstacles, water pistols and a gigantic tipping bucket. On the play ship Junior Explorer you battle it out with water pistols. The youngest children play in Bambino Beach, with water features and little slides on a ship.
In rings you bob along Jungle Expedition, a slow-flowing river through the whole pool, past water effects and tropical fish. In the cave you can try the climbing wall.
Relaxing
In the Secret Cave you relax in the whirlpool and the sauna or on a bubble bench several metres long. There are also jacuzzis at Bambino Beach and next to Junior Explorer. On sunny days you can lie on the sunbathing lawn, surrounded by greenery.
You can eat at Aqua Bistro or at the Garden Café, with chips, burgers, salads, pasta and ice creams. Picnicking is not allowed in the Aquapark.
