Summers in Melbourne can get rather overwhelming. A popular place to beat the heat is at the city's water parks. A place for adventure and fun, visiting a water park is a must do in summer.
Seeing a picture of its landmark slides and you would be tempted to experience what the park has in store. WaterMarc is the latest addition to the water park scene in Melbourne and is already a major hit among those who like their fun wet and wild. It is known for gigantic waterslides; Tantrum Alley and Pipeline. If the mere thought of it is getting your stomach churning, better opt for a single slide pass to give it a try first. The 5 pools of varying types is yet again another feature that appeals to a diverse market. This includes a toddler pool and a sauna ensuring the young and the old are equally satiated. You will need to spend a whole day here but rest assured it will definitely be a day well spent!
A favourite among those travelling with children, the Glen Eira is yet another new water park that has earned its fame thanks to its Ship Wreck and Pirates Plunge. The only problem you would have with your children at this park is getting them out! Created in a themed style, the park has an inviting appearance. The Pirates Cove water playground is a major attraction for it is where unsuspecting visitors get drenched from head to toe. You really don't know when the bucket would tip and pour water all over your head, but when it does it certainly is lots of fun! As for pools, there is one large outdoor pool which is perfect to chill in after enjoying all the rides. Many who choose a service apartment in Melbourne city may find most of Melbourne's water parks at a considerable distance. However, Glen Eira is one of the most easily accessible parks since it is located just 30 minutes away from popular city accommodation options like the Oaks on Collins.
It may not feel like a conventional water park but the many waterspouts from the ground that randomly go off will certainly get you drenched. The best part about this water play area is the unpredictability of the water spouts. You may expect one to go off and "bam!" It erupts from behind you. There is a complicated concept behind this design; however, children only see the unlimited fun that it brings. Apart from these exciting water sprouts, there are rock climbing areas and tunnels so the kids have plenty more to try out. The BBQ and picnic areas make it a perfect place to pack some food and have a fun afternoon.
As the name has it, Funfields is fun alright. A place to get that adrenaline pumping, Funfields has exciting rides such as the Alpine Toboggan and an array of different slides. There are also go-karts and mini golf making it yet another perfect water park for the whole family.
A true believer that the pen is a mighty weapon, ventures into reaching the minds of every reader with the earnest hope of leaving an indelible stream of thought.
