Whether you're looking for relaxation, sport, walking, thrills or even a good way to keep cool and enjoy the heat without suffering, here's something for everyone. On arrival, please note that if you're coming by car, you'll have to pay €5 for parking and €2 for pedestrians.
Then you arrive in a veritable green setting. Imagine a superb lake surrounded by trees and huge lawns where you can rest wherever you like. In the center, you'll find the reception area where you can buy all your activities, and the snack bar. In addition to aquatic activities, the base has several play areas. Children's games, beach volleyball and petanque are all available.
Before we start, we head to reception to choose our activities and times. The clever ones will have done their shopping online to save time and get through quickly. The activities are limited to a certain number of people, so we advise you to arrive early to have a choice of times. Especially as there are fewer people on the activities in the mornings, it's a great way to get some peace and quiet.
Activities include:
- Water ski lifts for young and old: the wake park is equipped with two water ski lifts, one bi-poulies, ideal for beginners, and one large 5-pylon lift, which can accommodate more than 30 people at a time. The bi-pulley version for beginners and children uses a cable and a line stretched between two pylons, each installed on a different bank of the lake. For the adult version, hang on tight - it's a real hair-raiser!
- Water Jump, water slides: What is Water Jump? Well, all kinds of slides for children aged 7 and over. There are ten or so tracks of varying levels on each side of the water structure, plus two diving boards measuring 4 and 6 metres. Half of the slopes can be descended with buoys, the other half on your stomach or back. Vests are compulsory for children under 10 and optional for older children. Helmets are compulsory for all and supervised by lifeguards.
- The Water Games, the inflatable water games course: imagine Ninja Warrior in easy mode and you're there. Open every day in July and above, plus Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays in September, this play area will blow you away. With trampolines, climbing walls, jumping and sliding towers, a human catapult and an obstacle course, there's plenty of fun to be had in the water. Accessible from age 5 for children who can swim, a compulsory life jacket is provided. Price: €11 per hour or €18 for two hours. Or opt for the €26 all-day pass. We'll admit it: after an hour, we'd worked our way up and over the water, so the break was well deserved.
- Paddle: no need to be a surfing expert, the puddle is accessible to all and lets you "hamburger" on the water.
- Canoeing: another new feature for 2022, Wam Park Fontainebleau now offers canoeing and kayaking for both amateurs and seasoned sportsmen and women. Pedal-boating: pedal-boating is also on the menu at the gateway to Paris, for a great time on the water with family or friends (1 to 5 people). The lake is very large and the space is really nice, with plenty of room for jumping, swimming and gliding along in complete serenity.
You can arrive with your picnic lunch, but if you don't want to bother, the snack bar has everything you need for lunch and snacks. Burgers, muffins, wraps and even fish & chips are on the menu.
In short, if you can't find what you're looking for... Note that day passes are available for 69€, including unlimited ski lift, water games and water jump. Ready for a day on the water?
