Brunssum: Mosaqua Water Park

 

Our subtropical experience certainly deserves a place on your activity-to-do list. Splash in one of the indoor or outdoor pools. Take your relaxing moment in a whirlpool or experience shower. A game of beach volleyball on the sunbathing lawn. And the kids? They enthusiastically test one of the many slides, search for Captain Kid's treasure or venture into the white water course. Oh yes, there is also plenty of seating to stay connected during your swim break thanks to our free WIFI.
