Anktalya Aqua Park

About Anktalya Aqua Park

Anktalya Aqua Park is a summer water park on the north-western edge of Ankara, in Turgut Özal Mahallesi, Yenimahalle. Its name plays on Ankara and Antalya, and the park pitches itself as a taste of the coast a few minutes from the city centre, in a green setting with a modern facility. The park has large pools and a range of water slides for older children and adults, while younger children have shallow pools, mini slides and play areas that staff supervise throughout the day. Around the water are gardens with sun loungers, a terrace with views over the pools, restaurants and a cafeteria, and a mini market. Changing cabins and showers are provided separately for men and women, and lockable lockers are available for valuables. All purchases inside the park are paid with an electronic wristband, so you do not need to carry cash around the pools. Outside food and drink is not allowed. Swimwear (swimsuit, bikini or swim shorts) is required in the pools, slides are used one person at a time following staff instructions, and running and pushing are not permitted. The park says men visiting on their own are welcome, and it runs a women's day each Tuesday and Friday with special offers. Practical notes: the park lists its hours as 09:00 to 19:00 daily during the summer season, and ticket prices change from season to season, so check its website or social media before you go. A free shuttle leaves daily at 10:00 and 17:50 from Batı Merkez, Batıkent metro station and the GİMSA market, and there is a large car park.
