Aqua Park in Pasohlávky will be expanding

Pasohlávky (Brno Region) - One of the largest Czech water parks, Aqualand Moravia, aims to invest several hundred million crowns in the expansion of its premises near Pasohlávky in the Brno region. It has a plot of land measuring 23,000 square meters available adjacent to the summer attractions area. The director of the water park, Petr Pavlacký, announced at a press conference today that they plan to create adrenaline attractions and a water world for younger children, who cannot access several of the current attractions. The new summer section is expected to welcome its first visitors in 2018, or possibly in 2019.

The water park is open year-round, with outdoor attractions available during the summer. "Although we only opened three years ago, we are continuously investing in new things and improvements because we know that some services are lacking here," said Pavlacký. The Pasohlávky water park currently covers an area of five hectares, so it will grow by about half. Last year, it had 710,000 visitors, which was a 30 percent increase year-on-year. Correspondingly, revenues rose to over 200 million crowns.

Currently, the owner, the company ŽS Real, has developed an ideational study and is preparing to commission an architectural study. "At the end of last year, we also conducted a survey among visitors regarding which attractions they would like. We aimed to take inspiration from the best water parks in the world, such as in Dubai, the United States, and also Tenerife," said Pavlacký.

One of the new sections will be a children's water world with jumping castles. "We want small children, who cannot access certain attractions due to height restrictions, to find entertainment here. Another section will feature adrenaline attractions, and the entire new area should be surrounded by a lazy river as well as a fast river," noted Pavlacký.

Before the start of this year's season, the owner invested 80 million crowns. They built a hotel with 108 beds for 60 million and the rest was used to create new services, including a 7D cinema. During the screenings, viewers will experience rain, snow, or wind.

Also, the region has long been announcing the arrival of Chinese investors who are expected to build a spa nearby towards Pasohlávky. "They should operate for self-payers. We do not have detailed information yet, but if another strong investor comes here, the water park could benefit from it," believes Pavlacký.

The water park opened to the public in August 2013 and was partially built with subsidies from the current owner, ŽS Real. For a time, the management was taken care of by the company Tatry Mountain Resorts, but now the owner manages the water park themselves.
