Jungle Adventure
Sit back, relax and take in the scenery as this open-top slide takes you twisting through the treetops.
The Serpent
Slide through the belly of the beast slipping and splashing all the way down. Nothing to see on this fully enclosed slide, just plenty of water, twists, turns and splashes as you rocket along!
Flume of Doom
Grab a partner, grab a tube and hold on tight. As you enter the tunnel of doom and the lights go out, you better hope you brought a trusty travel companion. There will definitely be bumps and bends along the way.
Shotgun
Like a bullet out of a gun you will shoot into the water at max speed.
Lilly Pads
Use the rope to leap frog from one lilly pad to the other trying not to fall in. It’s harder than it sounds so hope you’re feeling strong.
Kids Area
Perfect for the little ones 6 years old and under. Easy going slides, dump baskets and mushroom features will keep them entertained for hours. Parents should definitely be ready to get wet as 5 years olds and under must have a guardian in the water.
