1. Pink-themed landscape

Perhaps pink things are inherently capable of catching people’s eyes, especially for girls, it is an irresistible attraction. In a water park at night, if there are pink landscape sculptures, such as pink volcanoes, pink arch decorations, and pink heart sculptures, it can add a romantic atmosphere.

In the summer of 2025 at Atlantis Water World in Sanya, China, there were huge pink arch decorations. Couples or tourists who are having fun in the water at night often like to interact and play in front of these large arches, allowing themselves to immerse in a joyful atmosphere.

2. Animal-themed lantern exhibits (colorful lights)

After the arrival of the night at the water park, the colorful lights enhance the cheerful evening atmosphere. Especially, the colorful lanterns shaped like various animals, birds or musical instruments are even more exquisite, making the water park at night truly magnificent. Especially the large colorful lanterns that are several meters above the ground, when placed in the water park, have created a truly magical world.

The decorative lights must be those that can change colors in various shades. When placed in the dark, they further enhance the vibrant colors of the water park.

3. Prehistoric geological landscape sculptures

Most water parks are based on traditional swimming pools and are equipped with large water slides and other facilities, forming the basic water entertainment programs. However, clients with sufficient funds will decorate the water park with peculiar prehistoric geological landscape sculptures, making it seem as if people are immersed in an ancient underwater world.

This type of geological-themed sculptures mainly consist of volcanoes, fissure canyons, fossil-like rock walls, etc., and they will definitely add to the enjoyment of the water park.

4. Animatronic dinosaur

About 15 years ago, it was already popular to place life-sized, roaring and moving animatronic dinosaurs in water parks. Especially when the Tyrannosaurus rex, Brachiosaurus, Triceratops and other dinosaurs over ten meters long are placed there, it will surely astonish the people who come to the water parks for fun.

Moreover, water parks with “dinosaurs” will be uploaded to social media with novel and stunning images, which will increase the exposure of the park and attract more visitors.

5. Huge volcano decoration

Although volcanic decorations fall under the category of prehistoric geological items, those large-scale volcanic decorations should be classified as a separate category. If a super-large volcano, over 10 meters in height, were to be installed in a water park, it would instantly transform the park into a “prehistoric ocean“, and would also make children yearn to visit the park every summer to experience the prehistoric ocean.

The main decorations are usually large volcanoes made of fiberglass or made of cement. Super-large volcanic decorations can elevate the level of a water park.

6. Cartoon ocean fish or animal statue

It would be very fitting to see large or interactive cartoon marine fish / animal sculptures in the water park! Especially when these sculptures are in the water or placed around the swimming pool, it not only enhances the joyful ocean atmosphere, but also stimulates the interaction enthusiasm of the people enjoying the water fun.

In particular, the large cartoon fish statues from “Finding Nemo” are popular in water parks. The large cartoon shark shuttle gate statue is also one of the most popular marine animal statues.

7. Marine Animal Style Slide

Slide is common entertainment facility in water park, but water slides designed in the animals shape are relatively rare. Once the cute animals (such as cartoon frogs, cartoon lions, cartoon tigers, cartoon elephants, cartoon crocodiles, etc.) are placed in the swimming pool in the slide style, children will rush to play.

In the swimming pool, cute animals appeared, which could enhance the dreamy adventure experience for the tourists, making them suddenly step into the “cartoon fantasy world”.

8. Pirate themed sculptures / decorations

The timeless classic decorative elements in the water park are the pirate-themed sculptures! Especially the highly oppressive pirate shis and the classic character “One-Eyed Iron Hook Captain” can bring people a sense of childish wonder of having entered the “Golden Island“.

Especially the character sculptures featuring “One Piece” and the pirate ship sculptures have been extremely popular in the past decade.

The above 8 theme decorations can beautifully embellish the “Water Park“! With these decorations, people will flock to the park in large numbers during the summer and upload more interesting and novel videos to social networks. This not only boosts the popularity of the park but also helps it attract more visitors and generate more revenue.
