Calypso Park, Water park in Limoges, Ontario, Canada.
Calypso Park is a water park in Limoges, Ontario, with 35 waterslides, two lazy rivers and a wave pool called Calypso Palace. Its Summit Tower, built in 2011, is described as North America's tallest self-supporting slide tower and holds 10 slides, including two AquaLoop loops. The park also has a children's area, Funtana, a cement castle with water jets and obstacles for ages 5 to 10.
Calypso opened on June 7, 2010, built by Village Vacances Valcartier on a budget of 45 million Canadian dollars. In 2011 it added Summit Tower, described as North America's tallest self-supporting slide tower, with ten slides including two AquaLoops. A children's section called Funtana, a concrete castle with water jets and interactive games, opened in 2018.
Slide names draw on imagery rather than a single theme: Kongo Expedition, added in 2013, has African-style decor, while Funtana, opened in 2018, is a concrete play castle for children aged 5 to 10 with water jets and interactive games.
The park sits about 35 km east of Ottawa and roughly 75 minutes from Montreal, near Limoges. It can hold 22,000 visitors a day and averages 400,000 a season, so arriving early helps on hot weekends. Parking, picnic areas and a VIP zone with private cabanas and suites are on site; the grounds are large, so plan walking time between the Summit Tower slides and the Calypso Palace wave pool.
Calypso Palace is the largest wave pool in Canada, but the park's record is not the pool alone: the Summit Tower, added in 2011, is described as the tallest self-supporting slide tower in North America, carrying ten slides in three groups. The park was built by Village Vacances Valcartier on a budget of 45 million Canadian dollars.
