Is anybody familiar with Bernaqua - the water world?

Hi everyone,

It's my first time to post at this Forum.

Since my kids love swimming very much, I've been requested from time to time for taking them to visit different water parks in Switzerland. Recently I found there is a water park, namely Bernaqua, near by Bern. However, there is only limited information expressed in English at its website. Is anybody familiar with this Park? Is it a good place for the family to visit?

Thanks in advance.

vince

there is one closer not far from montreaux, its www.aquaparc.ch i think,
quite big, quite expensive, but kids under 5 are free, lots of big slides, lazy river and stuff so worth a go. i imagine all these places are quite similar.

We're taking the kids to Bernaqua this coming weekend. I'll let you know what it's like. I've heard some very good reports about it from colleagues and friends.

It is beside the new Westside shopping centre. And here's the websire in case you haven't seen it yet.

http://www.bernaqua.ch/index/bernaqua_eng.htm

Is it just me who thinks it seems a bit on the pricy side?

Thanks for the information! From my experiences, for visiting water parks in Switzerland, such high price is unfortunately necessary. vince
