Water parks

It doesn't matter how old you get, water parks with water slides and themed rides will never stop being fun. The grown-ups that feel that way can do us all a favor and stay in the retirement home, otherwise known as the kiddie pool where the grown-ups who have had a little too much to drink pee and blame it on the kids.

Nickstabadet

Has the Nordic region's longest water slide, but compared to the US for example the word "modest" springs to mind. A fun place nonetheless.
