Kids of all ages can have a splashing time at Aruba’s newest and wettest attraction, Morgan’s Island Water Park - the largest of its kind in the Caribbean.

The new $14 million (£8 million) water park opened to the public on December 5th 2008, and features the 'Dragon Revenge' tower offering six different heart-stopping waterslides, toboggan rides, two and four person water-tube rides and two wave pools.

Coming soon is the 'Buccaneer Tower' which will boast an impressive 21-meter vertical drop and will be the second tallest, second fastest, single-person, free-fall waterslide in the world.

Younger children can spend time at the dedicated water-playground featuring smaller slides and water spouts. After the excitement, families can refuel at the Black Pearl, a self-service restaurant, the Jack Sparrow Bar or Treasure Chest coffee shop.
Entrance to the water park costs $57 US dollars (around £37) for adults and $47 US dollars (around £31) for children aged 2-12 years.
