TL;DR
The biggest aquapark is 'The Land of Legends' in Belek (~$100 entry); Düden Waterfalls are open year-round and free to view; for snorkeling head to Phaselis Bay or Mermaid Bay near Kemer.
For snorkeling with a mask, head to Phaselis Bay (between Antalya and Kemer) — clear water, visible fish and ancient harbor ruins; park entrance is about 100 TL plus parking.
Another good spot is Mermaid Bay in Kemer — a pebble cove with clear water and fish near the rocks, free entry.
Düden Waterfalls in Antalya flow year-round: Upper Düden (Karapınar district) is a free park with viewing platforms, while Lower Düden drops straight into the sea near Lara Beach — water flow is lower in summer but still visible.
An alternative is Kurşunlu Waterfall Park, about 20 km from downtown, with a ~120 TL entry fee, set among pine trees with wooden walkways around the falls.
The best aquapark is 'The Land of Legends' in Belek, about 40 minutes from Antalya — the largest in the region, with a full-day adult ticket costing around $100, including water slides and a dolphin show.
A cheaper option is 'Aqualand' in the Konyaaltı district, with entry around $30-40 — smaller but closer to central Antalya.
