⭐ What Makes This Park Special

Family Playground Fun on Water ✅

This aqua park is a bonza spot for kids and adults who love a bit of a splash and challenge. The inflatable obstacles offer climbing, sliding, and rope swings that keep the young ones entertained for hours. Life jackets are provided, but you’ll need to be a confident swimmer to get the most out of it. Some kids as young as seven have had a blast, though the course can be slippery and tricky to navigate, so a bit of grit and determination helps. Bring grip socks if you can, as a few scrapes from barnacles underfoot are common. It’s a great way to tire out the ankle-biters while having a laugh together.

Waterfront Views and Beach Vibes 🌅

Set right on the water at Lakes Entrance, this aqua park offers a refreshing outdoor experience with lovely beachside surroundings. While the main attraction is the inflatable course itself, you’re also treated to the natural beauty of the Gippsland Lakes area. The nearby beach provides a chill spot for parents to watch the action or enjoy a picnic. The fresh air and water views make it a cracking place to spend the day, especially if you bring your own shade and snacks. Just keep an eye out for jellyfish in the water, which can sometimes put a dampener on the fun.

Handy Facilities and Friendly Staff 🚻

Visitors appreciate the nearby toilets and kiosk, which make it easy to grab a snack or take a breather between sessions. Parking is available close by, making it simple to load up the car with all your gear. The staff are generally friendly and helpful, guiding you through safety info and making the day run smoothly. However, there’s no lockers on site, so someone in your group will need to stay on the beach to watch your stuff. Also, be prepared to bring your own sun shade and water, as these aren’t provided.

Things to Keep in Mind When Visiting ⚠️

A few warnings from locals: the park is only suitable for confident swimmers as you have to swim out to the inflatables and there are no ladders to help you climb up, which can be tough and slippery. Multiple reviews mention painful stings from white jellyfish in the water, which can seriously affect your visit, especially for kids. The life jackets are provided but some felt they were more for show than real safety. Also, watch out for barnacles on the inflatables that can cause scrapes. Bringing grip socks and being cautious around marine life will help you have a safer, more enjoyable arvo.

💬 What Visitors Are Saying

My son and I had so much fun on the inflatables, and the staff was friendly and helpful.
Must be a reasonably good swimmer to swim out to the obstacles and to stay safe.
Kids had great fun. Life jackets provided. Must be able to swim out to the inflatable.
There is a bathroom and kiosk near by but would recommend bringing your own sun shade as well as snacks and water.
The course was very slippery and difficult to get around, no ladders to use leg strength.
Beware of white stinging jellyfish… I felt such an enormous amount of pain, I could absolutely NOT imagine what a child would feel.
Multiple people had minor injuries scrapes/scratches from barnacles on the underside of the inflatables or the foot grips.
We booked an all day pass… Brilliant value for money.
No lockers to store anything which means one had to stay on the beach at all times.
The staff were all very friendly and welcoming too.
