Hotels near waterparks that accept dogs and other pets, from Gothenburg and Malmö to Stuttgart, Łódź, Kraków and Toronto.
Travelling with the family dog no longer rules out a waterpark break, as long as the hotel accepts pets and someone has a plan for the hours spent on the slides. This collection gathers the hotels in our listings that welcome animals, and it has a clear northern European accent. Sweden stands out, with many options near Liseberg Oceana in Gothenburg, Simhallsbadet in Malmö and Husbybadet in Stockholm. Germany follows with hotels near SchwabenQuellen in Stuttgart and Therme Bad Wörishofen in the Allgäu, and Poland adds a good choice around Aquapark Fala in Łódź and the Kraków aquapark. Across the Atlantic, the hotels near Splash Works at Canada's Wonderland, north of Toronto, are the largest group. Remember that waterparks themselves do not admit pets, apart from assistance dogs, so the dog stays at the hotel or with one adult while the others swim. Policies differ a lot: some hotels charge a nightly fee, limit the size or number of animals, or allow them only in certain rooms. Read the pet policy on the listing and tell the hotel before arrival.

Local tips
- Read the exact pet policy before booking: fees, weight limits and the number of animals allowed vary from hotel to hotel.
- Tell the hotel you are bringing a pet, even when the listing says pets are welcome, so they can give you a suitable room.
- Plan who stays with the dog during park hours, since waterparks only admit assistance dogs.
- Ask whether pets may be left alone in the room; many hotels require them to be accompanied at all times.
- Look for green space nearby for early walks before the park opens, such as a park or riverside path close to the hotel.
