A WATERPARK just a few hours from the UK has tickets for as little as £16 a day - with pools, slides and rides to choose from.

The park even compares itself to the Caribbean on its website, with outdoor beaches and lagoons among its many attractions.

Cavour sits just outside of Verona in Italy and has a range of features suitable for both kids and adults, with thrill seekers and those looking to relax all well catered for too.

Its fan-favourites are slides like the Iceberg, a 6-lane multi-slope slide, on which friends and family can go down at the same time and race one another.

Meanwhile, those who ride the Kamikaze slide are promised to ";experience the thrill of speed".

For younger kids, there's Adventure Rock to play on - a water playground with waterfalls, slides and even sand imported from Egypt to provide an authentic beach experience.

More of this fine white sand can be found at Palm Beach, which provides an altogether more relaxing vibe for visitors and is part of the reason Cavour claims to have "The Caribbean in Verona".

Guests can enjoy beachfront activities like aqua aerobics, or just relax with a drink from the on-site Tiki Bar, which serves cocktails and soft drinks in the sun.

It's one of many food and beverage outlets dotted throughout the sizeable park, with snack bars, a Mediterranean restaurant and a sandwich shack all on offer.

For those who really want a relaxing escape, the exclusive Coco Bay beach offers private access, with hydrotherapy pools and sun loungers suspended from palm trees among other luxury features.

There's also a water lagoon with a fun barrel game for families to play, a foot massage pebble walk, a castaway beach with a black hole slide and treehouse and the Paradise Island featuring more slides and a pool surrounded by verdant tropical plants.

Five lidos to visit in the UK

Visitors to the park have been routinely impressed by what it has to offer, with an overall score of 4.5/5 on Google.
