Quijada Splash (balneario)

Quijada Splash is a balneario, or water park, on the road between Tequisquiapan and Ezequiel Montes in Querétaro, built around thermal-water pools rather than an indoor spa treatment menu. The park's setting is open-air and family-oriented, with a wave pool, a giant waterslide, and a dedicated children's water play area alongside the thermal pools themselves. Green picnic and recreation grounds surround the pools, giving the balneario a day-trip character closer to a water park than a wellness retreat. Because the site operates as a day-use balneario rather than a hotel spa, there are no private treatment rooms or trained massage therapists on-site; the wellness draw is the mineral or thermal water itself and the recreational pool facilities. Admission is by day pass rather than by treatment booking, and visitors typically arrive with towels, swimwear, and food for a picnic on the grounds. The park suits families and groups looking for a low-cost day of pools and slides in the Tequisquiapan area, complementing the wine-and-cheese route with an active, water-based stop, rather than visitors seeking a quiet, adults-only spa experience.
