Splashing into Chepstow on the Atlantis Aqua Park
Splashing into our Chepstow lake is our inflatable water park attraction – Atlantis Aqua Park!
With 71 floating modules covering an area of 2650m², Atlantis Aqua Park is breathtaking in terms of size, fun and location.
What better way to spend the day than with family and friends, bouncing, hopping, jumping and diving all over our incredible floating Atlantis Aqua Park!

Will you take on The Wire Zip Slide?
The Wire is one of the UK’s longest, tallest and fastest zip slides, running the 700 metre length of the spectacular NDAC Quarry.
Launch yourself from the 70m high cliff edge and speed along the length of our 80m deep flooded quarry.
Reaching speeds up to 40 miles per hour this exhilarating ride will take your breath away!
New for 2021 we have two additional zip wires installed at the site, so now 4 of your family and friends can enjoy the Wire Zip Slide together!

6 Month Post-Lockdown reopening plan for NDAC
Wednesday, March 24th, 2021
Update June 2021
The Atlantis Aqua Park is now open for bookings on selected dates.
We’re not currently selling Gift Vouchers for the Atlantis Aqua Park.
Following a review of the government guidance and consideration of how we can implement it throughout the National Diving & Activity Centre, we are excited to release our 6-month plan for reopening.
Easter Weekend Scuba Diving
We’re pleased to announce that we will now be able to open for limited Scuba Diving over the Easter holiday weekends (3rd & 4th, 10th & 11th April 2021).
We’ve established that providing we work to our Covid procedures, keep the Wigwams and changing rooms closed, and only provide takeaway food/drink, we will be able to open as originally planned.
We apologise for the changing dates and appreciate the frustration some have experienced as we react to the developing government advice. With the easing of lockdown restrictions and the release of our 6-month dates, we hope divers will be able to make firmer plans to visit.
Anyone who has booked scuba diving on Friday the 2nd or Monday 5th April is welcome to contact us to change their booking dates to the 3rd/4th or 10th/11th April. Alternatively, we can provide a 6-month voucher or a full refund.
Scuba diving bookings previously made for the 3rd & 4th April are still valid.
We have also released the dates we plan to open for Scuba Diving over the next six months. Anyone who had a previous Scuba Diving booking cancelled due to Covid will be offered a 6-month voucher to rebook.
We will be responding to customer emails in the next coming weeks to put all arrangements in place.
Activities
We are pleased to confirm that the Wire Zip Slide will be reopening in July and August. Our other activities (Giant 3G Swing, Atlantis Aqua Park and Cinema) will not be reopening for the remainder of 2021.
Anyone who has a Wire Zip Slide booking/voucher from November 2019 that has expired due to Covid19 will have their voucher automatically extended to use in July/August this year. Please use your existing voucher to make the booking.
For those with Giant 3G Swing, Atlantis Aqua Park and Cinema vouchers, you will be contacted in the next few weeks to offer a full refund or a Wire Zip Slide voucher as an alternative replacement.
Wigwam Accommodation
We are pleased to confirm that we are providing Wigwam accommodation on selected dates between 24th April and the end of August 2021.
Anyone who has a Wigwam booking/voucher that has expired due to Covid19 will have their voucher automatically extended to redeem and use by the end of August. Please use your existing voucher to make the booking.
All extended activity and accommodation vouchers must be redeemed and used by 31st August 2021. After this date the voucher will expire and will be invalid. No alternatives, further renewals, refunds or other form of compensation will be made.
Opening Dates
For our opening plan for the next 6 months and beyond, please visit our Opening Times Page. All dates are dependent on government/Covid restrictions allowing us to open.
