What Oasis Fun Pools Looks Like: Facilities, Flumes and Water Features
The Indoor Pool and Three Flumes
The centrepiece of Oasis Fun Pools is the heated indoor fun pool, maintained at 29°C year-round. Three flumes run from a central tower: the Aqua Whiz is a high-speed enclosed flume for the quickest ride; the Super Flume is a 265ft open tyre-ring ride on a blue double tube (maximum weight 100kg per rider); and the Fun Slide is a gentler green option suitable for younger or less confident children. All three flumes require a minimum height of 1.2 metres and a level of swimming competence. In practice, the queues for the flumes are short — reviewers consistently note that the session length of 1 hour 20 minutes is enough for multiple rides on each flume without significant waiting. The pool area itself is enclosed and bright, with natural light from roof glazing supplementing the overhead lighting.
River Rapids, Jacuzzi Seats and Splash Features
Beyond the flumes, the main pool includes a river rapid ride, which carries swimmers through a current-driven channel, as well as air pads, a giant tap feature, fountains, waterfalls, jacuzzi seating areas, geysers, and splash zones distributed through the shallow areas of the pool. These features require no minimum height and are accessible to younger children who are not yet tall enough for the flumes. The baby and toddler pool is a separate, shallower area heated to above 30°C — warmer than the main pool — with a small kiddies slide suitable for under-5s. Families looking for pool options for very young children at home may also find our guide to best paddling pools UK useful for garden use between holidays. Under-4s must be accompanied in the water on a 1:1 adult-to-child basis. The combination of the toddler pool and the main pool features makes the facility usable for a wide age range within the same family visit.
Outdoor Pool and Wider Complex
From late May through August, Oasis operates a heated outdoor pool at approximately 24°C, open weather permitting. The outdoor pool is complimentary for Hendra Holiday Park guests with membership passes; day visitors to the indoor pool pay separately for outdoor access. The wider Hendra site includes a fish and chip shop, a beachhouse-style restaurant, an ice cream shop (Always Sundae), and Henry’s Playloft, a soft play area for children under 10. A pirate ship play park and sea scooter activities are available in summer. For 2026, Hendra is adding a new family activity centre with a climbing wall, soft play and gym, opening summer 2026. Visitors who want a full-day outing can combine a pool session with lunch on-site without leaving the park.
