The fun water attraction, which challenges visitors to slide, climb and make a splash on an obstacle course featuring climbing walls, slides and runways, along with a brand new skyrocket and giant trampoline, is a great way to have fun, no matter what the weather is doing.

The Aquapark is open daily throughout the school holidays and bookings include free wetsuit hire.
