Serena Waterpark (Finnish: Vesipuisto Serena) is a water park located along to the Vihdintie road in the Lahnus district of Espoo, Finland.[1] It was opened after extensive excavation and construction work in 1989.[2][3] Serena is the largest indoor water park in the Nordic countries,[4][5] and it is also one of the most popular travel destinations in Southern Finland, with more than 200,000 people visiting the water park every year.[1][3][6][7]

With the depression in Finland in the early 1990s, water park's original owner Serenaland Oy went bankrupt, and after that, the bankruptcy estate was transferred to Tervakoski's Puuhamaa in 1992.[8][9] The current owner is Spanish Aspro Ocio S.A., to whom Puuharyhmä Oyj, which previously owned it, was sold in March 2007.[10][11][12]

The water park features a variety of water slides, patios and hot tubs, children's pools and sparkling rapids, and the sauna departments are located in a part of the water park excavated inside the rock.[1] There are also restaurants and cafés in the area.[7] The Serena Ski Center is open in winter.[1] There are six cottages for rent all year round.[1][7]

The Serena Pop & Rock music festival was held in the area for the first time in 2014.[13]
