Footage shows dad jogging into the pool area with his arm around his son – both in swimming trunks – before the boy legs it towards the water.
The pair frolic and splash in one of the pools before heading upstairs.
They run through shallow pools and explore every part of the park.
The young lad is clearly having a whale of a time cannonballing and diving with his dad.
But the father – who works at the Brosko Volna aqua park in Khabarovsk, Russia – faced the sack for his surprise gift for his son.
Water park boss Kseniya Rudenko admitted she could have fired the father.
But she said: “We had an incident – an employee secretly brought his son into the water complex.
“At night, just like in the movies.
“We later found out his motive — he wanted to celebrate his 11-year-old son’s birthday in a memorable way.”
She said: “We did not dismiss the employee. We looked into his situation, tried to understand why he acted this way.
“We talked with him, carried out an internal investigation, and discovered a blind spot in our staff operations, which we were able to fix thanks to this incident.
“His motive was a simple human desire to create an unforgettable moment for his child — to give him an experience he will happily remember for many years.
“Our reaction? At first we were shocked, then we laughed.”
The understanding boss said: “Sometimes life throws us these lessons not so that we vent our anger and impose punitive measures, but to remind us of something.

“Don’t we all have that pleasant feeling of genuine childhood joy?
“A memory that may even seem a little absurd, but still warms us?
“Let it continue to warm us, and let us create such memories for our own children — though in calmer, more appropriate ways.”
She made clear in future the opening hours were strictly 9am to 10pm.
“After all, even children’s memories sometimes have a schedule.”
