Note: During our previous visit, my youngest daughter was less than two years old, and I also purchased a ticket for her.

Opening Hours

The opening hours change depending on the season. During the summer vacation (1.7 – 31.8), the opening hours are:

Sunday – Thursday: 09:30 – 20:00
Friday: 09:00 – 16:00
Saturday: 10:00 – 20:00

Since Splash is located outside, the water park is closed during the winter. In any case, please recheck the official site before visiting.

Note: We visited during the summer vacation of 2021 and 2025. And since I thought there would be crowds, we arrived at 9:30. As it turned out, it was the correct decision. From our experience, the busiest hours were 10:30 – 12:30.

And now, let’s visit the park and answer some common questions.

What ages is Splash best suited for?

From my experience after several visits, Splash is best suited for kids aged 3-10. But these are only suggested ages. And, of course, it depends on the kids.

In my experience, children aged 3 years and younger often fear most facilities, while older children, particularly teenagers, typically find many facilities boring.

What Can You Find at Splash?

That was the main question I had before visiting. Here is a panorama of the entire compound, showcasing its facilities.

The size of the park is roughly equivalent to half a basketball court. And besides water-related attractions, there are restrooms (in the far corner).

Do not expect to exit the park with dry clothes. There are many kids and water splashes. Thus, even parents who do not participate in any activities will most likely get some water sprays.

How Much Time Does a Visit Take?

Given the limited variety of attractions, kids are likely to get bored after a while. The main factor is the age of the kids. When my kids were 2 and 10, they wanted to go home after one hour. But when my youngest daughter was six, I had to drag her from there after 3.5 hours. Hence, a typical visit would probably be 1- 4 hours.

When you enter Splash, you receive a plastic ribbon. By wearing it, you can exit and return. Thus, you can take a break and go for snacks (there is a kiosk at the playground) or visit the playground. And then return to Splash.

Note: the entrance to the playground is free.

What to take to the park?

First of all, I would suggest taking water shoes (though most people walk barefoot). Secondly, you can take water guns. They will provide an additional activity for the kids. And lastly, you can bring food. Eating inside the compound is prohibited. But since you can exit and enter freely with the plastic ribbon, many people have small picnics outside and then return to another round.

Summary

Splash in Sharonim Mall is an attraction that kids enjoy on hot summer days. Before visiting, it is a good idea to coordinate expectations on who this place is for and how much time people typically spend there. And if you want more at the end of your visit, I can suggest the nearby Hod HaSharon Park.
