My experience at Waterworld Stoke-on-Trent was very good. It’s a fantastic place, especially for children, and perfect for spending quality time with the family. The atmosphere is lovely, the indoor temperature was warm and comfortable, and all the pools were clean and well maintained. The staff were also very friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. They also sell snacks, which is convenient if you’re spending the day there.There are, however, two things that I think could be improved.The first is the waiting time for the larger slides. The queues can easily be over an hour long, which feels excessive, especially since your visit is time-limited. If you manage to go on two of the big slides, you’ve likely spent around two hours just waiting in line for only a few seconds of fun. It would be great if there were a way to make the process more efficient so guests could spend less time queuing and more time enjoying the attractions.The second point is the no-phone photography policy. I completely understand that this rule is in place to protect people’s privacy, especially with so many children, families, and visitors who may not wish to appear in photos for personal or religious reasons. I fully respect that.However, I think it would be a great idea to create a designated photo area where families could take pictures without affecting anyone else’s privacy. For example, a small spot overlooking the outdoor pool and the slides, where staff could ensure that no other guests are in the background. When booking through the app, you’re offered professional photos for an extra £20, but not everyone can afford or wants to pay for that service. Having a dedicated photo spot where guests can use their own phones would allow everyone to take home a special family memory while still respecting the privacy policy.Overall, we had a wonderful time and would definitely visit again. With some improvements to the queue system and a designated family photo area, the experience would be even better.
