Not to be missed

Sorry for the teasing. We know it's not fair to recommend the best water parks in the world here without you being able to reach them, but we're all optimistic that next summer we can make up for this dismal year - and there is no more adequate compensation than visiting the craziest and most huge water parks you've ever seen. So register, save and as soon as possible - pull out. You can also put in favorites.

Turns to the point: as every year, TripAdvisor has announced this week the ten best water parks in the world - which are scattered in Spain, Egypt, Indonesia and even frozen Ireland. The Travelers' Choice Awards for 2020 were handed out on the basis of millions of reviews and ratings from visitors, with this year of course the results being based primarily on reviews given before the outbreak of the corona virus. Israel, unsurprisingly, did not make the top ten. Want to see who does?
