Now that summer is winding down to an end we’ve decided to commemorate our favorite season by presenting the world’s best water slides in the world. Let’s face it, water slides sum up summer like no other: sun, fun, happy kids and of course water fun! Below is a list 10 of our favorite water slides in the world:

1. Wildebeest, Indiana: The Wildebeest is the longest water slide in the world lasting a world-breaking record of 2-and-a-half minutes.

2. Tantrum Alley, Dubai: This aesthetically beautifully designed water slide consists of two large downhill water slides and three funnels.

3. Atlantis, Paradise Island: The 60-foot Leap of Faith could not have missed our list. The water slide comes out of the iconic Mayan temple that then takes guests through an underwater tube in a lagoon full of sharks.

4. Città del Mare, Italy: Probably one of the most beautiful slides on our list. This up and down water slide adventure culminates with a dip directly into the Mediterranean Sea. That’s definitely a must / bucket list.

8. Epic Plunge, Norwegian Cruise Line: This water slide is all the better for the simple fact that it’s also on a cruise. What a fantastic way to stray away from the stereotypical type of “fun” associated with cruises, right?
