 The admission to the Amazoo Yoplait Water Park is included in your Granby Zoo visit.
The whole family will enjoy a most extraordinary experience within a décor inspired by an Amazonian village.
The biggest wave pool in Quebec, the Cunucunoma Adventure River (float down on an inner tube) and the water games basin are all part of the Amazoo Yoplait Water Park. The Amazoo Yoplait Water Park covers a surface of 45,000 m2 (about 12 acres). This is almost six times the size of a football field!
Palm trees (real ones!), waves and a beach... a definite change of scenery.
