Overview
Enjoy the sunshine and beat the heat by diving in at a water park near you. These are places where getting wet has been elevated to an art form. Get wiped out by a wave machine Funfields in Whittlesea, dunked by thrilling water slides at Adventure Park Geelong or drenched by a giant bucket at WAVES in Wodonga.
If you’re looking for a water splash park aimed especially at younger children, then look no further. Our selection includes Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens, home to the Ian Potter Foundation Children's Garden, which includes water spouts. Or if you’re in the regions, try Hadfield Park in Mitchell Shire or Tallangatta Foreshore in the High Country.
If the summer sun is too much for you, there are indoor water parks, too. OK, they’re ‘swimming pools’ really, but places like Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre (MSAC) and Casey Aquatic and Recreation Centre have wave pools and slides for those who want to take a break from lane swimming.
