About
Parque Acuático Los Sueños is a local water park located in Aserrí, about 20-30 minutes south of San Jose. It's a popular choice for Costa Rican families on weekends and school holidays, and its 614+ Google reviews make it one of the more-reviewed water attractions in the region.
The park offers a mix of water slides, splash pools, and areas for younger children, all set in a hillside environment typical of the Central Valley. It's not a mega water park by international standards, but it delivers a fun, affordable day out that kids genuinely enjoy. Toddlers aged 3 and up typically do well, especially in the shallower splash zones.
Parents should note the park is open 7 days a week from 9 AM to 5 PM, making it a flexible option even for midweek visits. Bring cash for admission, as well as towels, sunscreen, and a change of clothes. Packing your own lunch in a cooler is worth doing if you want to keep costs down.
The setting is greener and more relaxed than urban alternatives, and the drive from San Jose is short enough to make it a half-day option that leaves time for other activities.

Why Kids Love It
Los Sueños (The Dreams) lives up to its name — kids spend hours bouncing between water slides, pools, and spray features in a laid-back Costa Rican hillside setting that feels a world away from the city.
