sin artificios = naturally
This solution was suggested by my Oxford Spanish dictionary, which has: "una belleza sin artificios > a natural beauty".
"It's like living the thrills of an aquapark, but naturally."
Otherwise, "without it being contrived" would be my best shot.
But I prefer the "natural" option - it is what "sin artificio" means.

"experiencing the thrills" maybe better than "living"
