Water Park in Gagra 2026: Prices, Opening Hours and a Review of the Slides

In brief: address, opening hours and prices — the key information first

The only open-air water park in Abkhazia is located on the coast in New Gagra, on Abazgaa Street, opposite the Abkhazia hotel. During the season it is open daily from 10:00 to 19:00. In 2026, a ticket for adults and children aged 11 and over costs approximately 1,800–2,000 ₽ (reviews mention a price point of 2,000 ₽), and for children aged 4–10 it is 1,300–1,500 ₽ (approximately 1,500 ₽). Children under 4 are usually admitted free when accompanied by adults. The ticket is valid all day; there is no hourly charge.

The Gagra water park is one of the main family recreation spots in New Gagra. Beaches, cafes and a promenade are nearby. Staying in this area gives you quick access to the attractions without long trips.

Where the water park in New Gagra is located and how to find it

The complex sits right at the water's edge on Abazgaa Street, in the busiest resort sector of New Gagra. The main city landmark is the high-rise building of the Abkhazia hotel, located across the road. The entrance from the embankment and Abazgaa Street is marked by a sign and a ticket booth. The walk from the resort's central streets takes a few minutes, but check the exact route from your stop or hotel on the map before setting out.

Season and opening hours: weather and technical restrictions

The water park operates seasonally in the open air. The exact start and end dates of the season depend on the weather and the management's decision, so before visiting in early summer or in September, check the current operating status of the complex. At the height of the season, according to the Travelto review, the complex is open daily from 10:00 to 19:00.

Since the complex is located in the open air, during heavy rain, thunderstorms or stormy winds the operation of the slides and pools may be temporarily suspended for safety reasons. The management may also close individual attractions for maintenance.

Ticket prices in 2026: age categories and what to check at the ticket office

In the 2026 season, tickets are sold with no time limit on your stay. There are two main categories: an adult ticket (for visitors aged 11 and over) at 1,800–2,000 ₽ and a child ticket (for children aged 4 to 10) at 1,300–1,500 ₽. Children under 4 are admitted free.

Before buying a ticket, be sure to check two things at the ticket office: whether all the slides are operating today (or whether some are closed for maintenance) and whether re-entry conditions apply. If you need to leave the grounds for lunch or to go to a pharmacy, ask whether you keep the right to return with a wristband or receipt.

Slides and pools: an overview of the complex and attraction availability

The water park's descriptions claim up to nine slides and up to eight pools. The grounds include pools with both fresh and sea water, but the availability of individual pools and runs depends on their technical condition on any given day.

Several runs stand out among the main attractions:

• “Virage” — a long open spiral slide about 101 meters long, the complex's main serpentine run.
• “Kamikaze” — a fast, steep straight-drop run for speed lovers.
• “Wave” — a run with wave-like changes in height.
• “Multislide” — a wide multi-lane slide for simultaneous parallel descents.
• “Tube” — an enclosed tube slide with a fully enclosed trajectory.

Some of the features may be temporarily unavailable, so check the actual status of the attractions at the ticket office before entering.

Children's area and visitor restrictions

For visitors with small children there is a separate shallow kids' pool with low, safe slides. The adult slides are intended for visitors riding on their own. The starting platforms of the attractions display rules with height, age and weight restrictions. Check the signs carefully at the foot of each staircase before climbing the tower.

The main requirement of the children's area is continuous parental supervision. Even in a shallow pool, children must not be left unattended. Additional tips on organizing a family holiday are collected in the article “Vacation in Abkhazia with Children in 2026: Beaches, Accommodation and Documents”.

Rules of entry and safety on the slides and at the pools

To make sure your day passes without injuries, follow these basic safety requirements:

• Footwear: the tiles heat up strongly in the sun and can be slippery at the edges, so move around the grounds in rubber flip-flops or aqua shoes.
• Gear: before going down the slides, remove chains, rings, watches and glasses. Swimsuits with hard metal rivets or buckles are prohibited, as they can damage the flume and injure the skin.
• Descent and splashdown: start only with the go-ahead from the on-duty instructor. After splashing down into the pool, swim away to the side at once and exit by the ladder, without lingering in the path of the next rider.

Changing rooms, lockers, sun loungers, cafes, showers and payment

The water park grounds have changing rooms, shower cabins and toilets. Sun loungers are arranged along the pools and can be taken on a first-come, first-served basis. Keep valuables in the lockers — check the rental cost of a locker and the key deposit at the ticket office.

Summer cafes and kiosks selling drinks and snacks operate within the complex. Whether you can bring your own food and water is worth checking with the staff at the entrance. Bank terminals and mobile reception on the embankment sometimes fail, so keep cash rubles on hand for tickets, locker rental and cafe expenses.

A practical family visit scenario: what to check and what to bring

The optimal length of a water park visit is 3 to 5 hours. It is best to arrive at opening, by 10:00: in the morning the parking lot and the slides are less crowded, and it is easier to grab comfortable loungers in the shade before the midday heat sets in.

What to bring with you:

• Towels for each family member and a change of dry clothes;
• High-SPF sunscreen and headwear;
• Non-slip rubber footwear for walking around the pools;
• Inflatable armbands or vests for children;
• A supply of cash.

After visiting the water park, you can continue your relaxation on the seashore. Right next to the complex is the Central Beach of New Gagra — a lively swimming area of the resort with an embankment and cafes.

Nearby on the embankment rises the Ferris wheel — a prominent attraction of New Gagra with panoramic views of the sea and mountains.

While strolling along the coastal strip, take note of the Poseidon sculpture, a striking adornment of the seaside area.

A little further along the coast is the well-maintained “Malibu” beach area with convenient sea access.

Within walking distance of the resort center is the Memorial to the Defenders of 1992–1993 — a commemorative site of New Gagra.

Next to the memorial lies the Park of Glory — a green promenade area a step away from the beach strip.

In the same block stands the monument to the first president of Abkhazia: the area around the Vladislav Ardzinba monument is a convenient landmark in the center of New Gagra.

In the coastal part stands the New Colonnade — a striking architectural landmark of the modern embankment.

After the water fun, you can buy fresh fruit, cheese or souvenirs at the Gagra Central Market.
