The park's original mountain section — home to iconic slides like <em>Les Serpentins</em>, <em>Turbo</em>, and <em>Super Chute</em> — is getting a tropical-themed makeover. Visitors expect vibrant new visuals by Quebec artist Olivier Gaudette, whose colourful murals already decorate several corners of the park.</p><p>Super Aqua Club's 2025 season officially kicks off on June 14 and runs through Labour Day weekend.</p><p>Getting to the water park is easy if you're coming from Montreal. It's about a 45-minute drive northwest, with free parking on site. Don't want to drive? You can take the metro to Laval’s Montmorency station, then hop on a regional Exo bus toward the Saint-Eustache or Pointe-Calumet area. From there, it’s a short walk or cab ride to the park. Just be sure to plan ahead, as direct public transit options are limited.</p><h3>Himalaya at Super Aqua Club</h3><br/><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/C_LjR6_M9ox/" data-instgrm-version="4" style="background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);">
