CORAL Reef Waterworld in Berkshire has been named the 2018 most popular destination for a family day out.

The water park in Bracknell was chosen by a Day Out With The Kids, a company who help families get out and about.

Coral Reef was voted the most popular, after they revealed the UK’s most-searched for attractions on their website over the past 12 months.

Jamie Starr, head of digital and marketing at Day Out With The Kids, said: “Coral Reef Waterworld was consistently one of the most-viewed attractions on our site in 2018, with so many factors guaranteeing its popularity with parents.”

The water park, which reopened in September 2017 after a £13m refurbishment was searched for by over 100,000 families last year.

The hot weather over the summer in 2018 also drove searches to increase by 290 per cent.

Ms Starr added: “The successful, and highly-anticipated refurbishment in late 2017, coupled with 2018 being one of the hottest years on record made it a must-visit location for families, and the fact that it’s just a short hop from London only strengthens its appeal.

“It’s got everything you’d expect from a modern water park, so it’s no surprise to see it topping our list of the most-viewed attractions this year.”

The Waterworld also received The Eat Out Eat Well award in January this year, which praised the café for serving healthy food.

The Day Out With The Kids website allows families to search for over 7,000 attractions, for more information about family days out visit: www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk.
