Sylvan Lake Aqua Splash: Complete Family Guide (2026)
Alberta's original floating waterpark is a rite of passage for Edmonton families. Sylvan Lake Aqua Splash is a massive inflatable obstacle course anchored right on Sylvan Lake. It’s a must-do
This is part of our full guide to the best outdoor waterparks in Alberta.
Sylvan Lake Aqua Splash
Picture an episode of Wipeout, on a lake, and you're on it. The park features over 130 inflatable components: 15-foot towers, climbing walls, giant slides, oversized trampolines, monkey bars, trapeze swings, bouncy domes, wiggle bridges, a huge launch bag, and a 120-foot slippery walkway — plus floating rest areas. It’s a lot of fun - but an hour is often enough.
Fair warning from parents who've been: it's much harder than it looks from shore. Climbing back onto the inflatables after falling in is half the workout. That's also exactly why kids love it.
Location: 5104 Lakeshore Drive
Cost: $40, half-day pass $29 and $18 - our recommendation for first-timers; an hour on the course is more exhausting than you think it’s going to be!
