About
Forest Hill Aquaboulevard is Europe's largest indoor tropical water park, located in the 15th arrondissement of Paris just a few metro stops from the Eiffel Tower. Opened in 1989 and still one of the most impressive leisure facilities in the French capital, Aquaboulevard offers a year-round warm water park experience that makes it genuinely useful whether the weather outside is perfect or miserable.
The indoor complex features a wave pool, multiple water slides, a surf wave simulator, hot tubs, outdoor pools open in summer, a sandy beach area, and dedicated children's play zones. The tropical temperature inside is maintained year-round, which is part of what makes it such a reliable choice for Paris families. On a grey November afternoon, Aquaboulevard feels like a genuine escape to somewhere warmer.
Children across every age group are well served. Toddlers and young children have their own shallow zones with gentle water features. Older kids and teens spend the bulk of their time on the slides and in the wave pool. Adults who have had enough sliding can retreat to the hot tubs or outdoor deck chairs. The facility includes changing rooms, lockers, and food options throughout the complex.
The 15th arrondissement location makes it one of the most central indoor water parks in Europe. Tram line T3a, metro line 8 at Balard, and metro line 12 at Corentin Celton all provide convenient access. The combination of location, scale, and year-round availability makes Aquaboulevard one of the most reliable family day-out options in all of Paris.
