History

Līvu Akvaparks is opened to visitors since 30 December, 2003. The construction lasted for almost 2 years and more than 16 million euros were invested. The 3 floors of Līvu Akvaparks includes more than 20 different slides, more than 10 pools of various depths and sizes, attractions for children, SPA complex with 4 saunas, cold pool, salt chamber, bubble baths and air and underwater massage facilities, as well as food service and bar on water. The start tower of the slides reaches 7-story height.

The park’s area is 11000m2, but in summers additional 7000m2 become available to visitors, bringing the total area to 18000m2, one of the largest closed-type water park in the Northern Europe, which operates throughout the year.

In early 2005 construction began in the outdoor territory of the park and in the summer of the same year the visitors were greeted by a large pool with a fountain and new slides - the Magic Three and the Water Loop.

In 2008, in honour of the fifth birthday of Līvu Akvaparks, a unique fountain park is built in a 500m2 of outdoor area with more than 10 various fountains and water cannons, which especially delight the little guests.

In winter 2012 an ambitious reconstruction of SPA complex was started. SPA complex is designed in the mood of the exotic Bali island. In the course of reconstruction a salt chamber, 4 jacuzzis, one with mineral water, a Turkish sauna, oxygen bath, underwater and air massage facilities, ice generator and VIA SENSUS for feet was constructed. Visitors appreciated the improvements and the offered opportunities for relaxation.

In the autumn of 2013 an ambitious work on the reconstruction of the outdoor pool was initiated and in June 2014 a unique attraction in the Baltic States was offered to the visitors - the Cunning Dome.
