Aqualibi is an indoor water park in Wavre, Belgium, built alongside the Walibi Belgium amusement park and operated under the same Compagnie des Alpes ownership. Opened in 1987, it has grown into one of the country’s most visited water attractions, drawing families from Brussels and beyond thanks to its location less than an hour from the capital and just steps from the Bierges-Walibi railway station.
Spanning nearly 8,000 square meters, Aqualibi keeps its pools at a constant 29°C year-round, making it a popular indoor escape regardless of the Belgian weather outside. The park underwent a major renovation in 2011 and a further €30 million expansion completed in December 2023, which added four new slides and modernized much of the facility.

Beyond the slides, the park also offers jacuzzis and two dedicated children’s play areas, giving younger visitors a gentler introduction to the park.
A Fixture of Belgian Family Tourism
Since opening in 1987, Aqualibi has remained a fixture of Belgian family tourism, benefiting from its pairing with the adjacent Walibi Belgium theme park, which allows visitors to combine dry rides with a heated indoor water park in a single trip. Its indoor, climate-controlled design has helped it stay a reliable year-round destination, and the 2011 renovation and 2023 expansion have kept the park’s offerings current for new generations of visitors.
