Meryal Waterpark Launches “Back to School. Back to Splash.” Campaign with QAR 227 Student Offer

Back to School. Back to Splash

Meryal Waterpark has announced the launch of its “Back to School. Back to Splash.” campaign, running from 1 to 30 September 2026, as students across Qatar return to classrooms, early mornings, and new routines.

The campaign is built around a simple message: while the school routine may be back, the excitement does not have to end. Meryal Waterpark is positioning itself as a weekend reward for children after a busy school week, offering families a place where students can swap school bags for swimsuits, homework for adventure, and routine for moments of fun.

To celebrate the beginning of the 2026–2027 academic year and wish students across Qatar a successful year ahead, Meryal Waterpark is introducing a special campaign ticket price of QAR 227, available throughout September.

The symbolic offer reflects the spirit of the new academic year while giving students and families another reason to make Meryal part of their weekend plans.

More than a seasonal promotion, “Back to School. Back to Splash.” is designed to strengthen Meryal’s connection with the community and become part of the rhythm of family life throughout the school year. Through school engagement, a dedicated student offer, and interactive experiences at the waterpark, Meryal aims to build closer relationships with students, educators, and families across Qatar.

As part of the campaign, Meryal will also visit schools, where students will be introduced to the story of Meryal, water-safety messages, and the Golden Grade Draw, creating moments of surprise and excitement during the school day while extending the waterpark experience beyond the destination itself.

Rosette Fares, Cluster Director of Marketing & Communications, said: “For children, going back to school is a big moment. Summer freedom suddenly becomes early mornings, classrooms, homework and structured days. We wanted to look at this transition through their eyes and create something that reminds them that while the holidays may be over, the joy of childhood certainly is not.”

She added: “‘Back to School. Back to Splash.’ is about giving children something to look forward to. But it is also about something bigger: bringing Meryal closer to the community and becoming part of the memories families create together. We want weekends at Meryal to be the moment children have been waiting for all week, a chance to splash, laugh, explore and simply be children again.”

With the launch of “Back to School. Back to Splash.”, Meryal Waterpark is celebrating more than the start of a new academic year. The campaign highlights the balance between learning and play, routine and adventure, and the family moments created in between.

The QAR 227 special ticket price is available from 1 to 30 September 2026.
