In the heart of Liverpool’s iconic waterfront, Wild Shore Liverpool is located on the Royal Albert Dock and is perfect for a party with friends or a day out with your family. The inflatable obstacle course, Aqua Park, is made up of huge slides, trampolines, rafts and challenges to ensure you leave with a smile on your face. If a floating obstacle course isn’t for you, enjoy the tranquillity of stand up paddleboarding with one of their packages, designed to suit everyone from beginners to SUP pros.

If open water swimming is more your bag visit Princes Dock, Liverpool Waters, where you can enjoy a totally unique swimming destination this summer. The 500m course is clearly marked out to ensure swimmers can enjoy the water in laps around the dock, surrounded by the stunning backdrop of the famous Liverpool skyline – and if you are lucky, a nearby cruise ship.

Liverpool Watersports Centre is an activity centre that has it all. Just over a mile from Liverpool Lime Street train station, Liverpool Watersports Centre offers a wide range of activities including open water swimming, power boating, paddleboarding, kayaking and canoes. If you are looking for an activity for a fun foursome, you can hire a swan pedalo for £20 for 30 minutes – guaranteeing grins! They also have a Wheelyboat, a wheelchair accessible powerboat, to offer fun on the water for people of all abilities.

For the adrenaline junkies, Liverpool Wake Park is not to be missed. Based at Liverpool Watersports Centre, instructor-led sessions will provide a safe and informative environment to learn an exciting new skill.
