We decided to take the kiddo here knowing full well, from advance research, that there would hardly be anything she could ride since most of the slides had a height minimum requirement of 122cm and she unfortunately is 115-117cm. But we used the current Wall's ice cream promotion where you can get a free child ticket when you buy 2 adult tickets when you bring two lids from Wall's ice cream tubs. (Offer ends in February 2013).
We got there in the late afternoon and the park was already in full swing. There are lockers for hire for $10 for a small one and $20 for a big one.....I thought the price was a little hefty. But it's better than Wild Wild Wet one since their one is one time use only and you can't open and close at will. Meaning if you want to drink or reapply sunscreen you have to take it and put your stuff down somewhere.
There are two lockers and shower areas in the park. One is near the entrance, and one is at the back of the park near the wavepool. The one at front will usually mean it is the most crowded one since once you enter the park you'd head straight there. So keep that in mind because at the end of the day there'll be a long que at the showers..so if you can go to the back one. The shower are pretty nice with a wet and dry area and soap dispenser. Be good if they had hot water though especially for the kids. But perhaps they had it at the kids shower room (should have checked first).
The coolest thing at the park in my opinion is the lazy river. The river goes around the perimeter of the park and is a good 15-20minutes to go around. It has really pretty decorations in one area and in another there's a cave that you go through and without giving too much away makes you feel like you're on an Indiana Jones adventure!
Another great thing is there's a section near the dolphin lagoon where part of the river is made from see through glass with space underneath presumably for the dolphins to swim under when it's ready! You'll also go through a section where you can view stingrays swimming in a tank beside you. On the other side you have the chance to hop into the tank to feed them too.
There's also another section where you go through a tunnel, which is in fact underneath a fish tank! Though nice and all, I was a little disappointed that the fish weren't as interesting as the ones depicted on their ads. The ads show a tank full of colourful tropical fish but instead in the tanks we only saw pretty much monotone coloured fish such as catfish, garoupa, etc...
Due to time constraints and lack of partner, I only managed to take 1 slide - Roaring Rapids, a half dark, half open slide which was quite fun. The Que was pretty long at about 40mins, probably because another 2 slides were closed that day. We did go to the wave pool and little C went on the kiddy water playground with her friend.
All in all it was a great day and thankfully the rain held off till we here done.
