1 / 2Wild Shore Blackpool
📍 Preston, North West
Lakeside water sports venue with aqua park obstacle courses, wakeboarding, stand-up paddleboarding, and open water swimming. All wetsuits and buoyancy aids provided. Aqua park sessions are 50 minutes and suitable from age 6.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
Best for active families with children aged 8 and up who want to try multiple water sports in one visit. The aqua park suits children and adults equally — it is physically demanding and genuinely fun for older groups. Instructors Georgia, Theo, Finn, and Kat are individually praised for making first-timers feel confident.

“Off the cuff last day of the summer holidays treat with the youngest! Cracking little place s oglad we visited. I saw the website as we were looking for somewhere to paddleboard and try our new boards out! (Bit of a disaster in Anglesey the week previous) 😳 Gave them a call to clarify if we could borrow a buoyancy aid (x3) as we don't have any. They couldn't have been any more helpful! We were advised that we would normally need to book a 2 hour slot as it's quite busy, so dod it over the phone. Pretty big car park, loads of spaces! We arrived earlier than planned but gave us time to set up our paddleboard and get changed. Super easy, changing rooms are near by but we opted for the tricky car park change 🙄 Nice lake and it was a gorgeous day! There's paddleboard for hire, you can take your own and there's also wakeboarding and an inflatable obstacle course! Prices are in the image but are subject to change! We can't wait to go back once the kids have bmgone back to school.”
