- Raul V30 contributionsGood spa, but very costlyIt is supposed to be an excellent spa, which may be, but for a lot of money. They do not even provide towels! But rent them. Seems like this place is built to make money and that’s it. The pools are clean and overall architecture looks incredible, but they should improve their services as they ask for a lot of money.Dear Raul, Thank you for your comments and also for visiting the Aqua Dome. It's great to get your positive feedback with regard to our cleanliness and overall architecture. With regard to the Vitality Spa there is no extra charge for this facility as it is included in the general admission price. Customers can avail of the pool along with all its features including the waves, river rapids, lazy river etc and also visit the Vitality Spa for some relaxation time. Our Vitality Spa is not a stand alone facility. We do not rent towels but offer towels for purchase at reception. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for visiting the Aqua Dome and hope you come back another time to visit.Written 1 February 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited January 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 26 January 2023
- Lizzie49ColinSkibbereen, Ireland45 contributionsWater fun for all the familyWent today with our 2 older kids (10 and 13). Visited many times and still the same fun. Kids love the slide, waves and lazy river. Shame the outdoor slide wasn't opened but lots of fun. Only thing is it hasn't changed in 20 years so maybe new attractions would be welcome in future. Tips: bring your own towels and don't forget a 1 euro coin for the locker.Thank you for the review and kind comments. We hope to see you again soon.Written 8 February 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited February 2023Travelled with familyWritten 5 February 2023
- Healyum8690 contributionsFun location on a rainy dayWe went here on a rainy day, arrived after 11 and there was long queue. Although it moved quickly, would advise to arrive earlier. It was a busy day but plenty of staff who were very attentive to pool users. Two big slides, one of which only opens at set times during the day. There is a lazy river, wave pool, two jacuzzis, three small slides for young kids. There is also an adult only area that has a number of saunas, heated seats, plunge pool. Lockers take a €1 coin. Changing rooms are quite small so best to have swim wear on before arrival.Thanks for the rating.Written 3 August 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited August 2023Travelled with familyWritten 1 August 2023
- Ber GGalway, Ireland25 contributionsGood but not greatPool grand, very long queues in the cold for the one big slide, and then once an hour the outside slide is opened which makes things even colder when queuing up. Dressing rooms were only OK, very crowded. Armbands obligatory on kids under 8- you can rent from reception for €2.50. Could be a lot better but still a good option for Tralee holidays.Thanks for the review. We are always busy on dull days especially in July & August as it is our peak time.Written 8 August 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited July 2023Travelled with familyWritten 7 August 2023
- TreatyGunnerLimerick, Ireland68 contributionsVery averageAverage at best. Water not as warm as you’d expect. The outdoor rapids only operate once an hour for a short period of time. The queue is not a pleasant experience because it’s so cold. I doubt we would go back. My advice; pay a visit to the tropical pool at Centre Parcs.We are sorry we did not meet your expectations.

- Sandman91Cloyne, Ireland136 contributionsTired lookingStopped off on a recent day trip to Tralee with my wife and kids (9 & 6). I hadn't been here since I was probably 12, it is still the exact same! A bit tired looking. The place was packed and queues for the slides were massive, we only went on once as I didn't want to spend any more time standing in a queue. The other slide only opens once in a while and when it did there was a rush and huge queue in no time so we skipped that. The kids had enough after an hour so we packed up and left. Dressing rooms are cramped and crowded and the lockers are a bit dodgy, in that on 2 separate occasions a locker I had taken wouldn't open and an attendant had to assist by hitting the lock with a scissors while jiggling the key! Probably be another 25 years before I visit again!Thanks for the review. We are always busy on dull days especially in July & August as this is our peak time.Written 1 September 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited August 2023Written 22 August 2023

We visited the Aquadome recently for a fun filled family adventure. It is the perfect place to spend a few hours with family or friends. The kids (big and small) enjoyed the indoor and outdoor slides, lazy river and waves. The rapids were the highlight though. The staff are friendly and helpful and there's plenty of family changing areas. Afterwards we enjoyed a coffee and sweet treats in the cafe. We'll be back again soon and really recommend the Aquadome for a fun family day out.

My kids went to the aquadome as part of their school tour. They loved it and had a ball with their friends. They loved the lazy river and the wave pool. Easy to get to, great outing for groups.

Had a great time at the Aqua Dome, staff were very friendly and patient with my son who was nervous about going down the slide for the first time. They gave him lots of encouragement and did not rush him. After his first go, he was flying it. We cannot wait to go back, highly recommended!

The Aqua dome is a wonderful place to visit with the family. They have so much to offer for both young and old. The pool is amazing and the kids really enjoyed the slide and the waves pool. After the pool we had a really enjoyable game of pitch and putt. Its great value for money. Staff are friendly and helpful. There is ample parking which is a major bonus. I would highly recommend this for a family fun day out.

Hi All
Anybody know if the place has got any warmer. Last time i was there about 2 years ago, the water was not the warmest especially if you are sitting around in it with kids and when out of the water, the place it self felt cold
Was in the national aquatic centre in Dublin recently and the water was alot warmer and even warm just walking around the pool and in the kids pool area too,

Hi Bryan,
The temperature of the water in the Aqua Dome is a steady 29.5
decrees and the Air temperature is 28 to 30 decrees. During the summer months we do have the outside falling rapids slide open and the outside air can travel in around the pool. That would be the only reason it might feel a bit chilly on the poolside. I hope this helps and we will see you in the Aqua Dome soon.
Regards
