About The Time Capsule

Make a splash at The Time Capsule in Coatbridge, one of Scotland’s most exciting indoor waterparks and leisure centres for families. With flumes, splash zones, a wave pool, lazy river, soft play and ice skating all under one roof, it is a brilliant choice for an active day out whatever the weather.

The waterpark is packed with fun for confident swimmers and little splashers alike. Brave the Tornado Tantrum, race down the twisting Storm Chaser flumes, take on the Tsunami wave pool, or drift along Riptide River, a lazy river with a rapid ending. Younger children can enjoy gentler water play at Cove Island, a sheltered splash area designed for tiny tots and families who want a calmer pace.
