perfect place for kids/kidults to get wet and have fun! the depth of the main pool is about a meter so younger kids can just play around the stairs and ramp area. there are also cafes, toilets, seatings nearby. Lifeguards are also on duty.
Good park kids love it and being located in marrickville easy to get too
Great playground area for kids of all ages. Recommended.
A great park all round. Lovely long tables for parties or extended family gatherings, a wide area to play a ball game. Parking not easy to find from GPS navigation, but if you drive from Moreton Parade and you see the park on your right, there is a side street that drives around to a car park for easy entry to park. If you have little ones have them dressed in bathers or prepare for them to be attracted to the water park as there is no separation device/fence from litties play space and water play park, just a footpath.
Awesome park for the kids. Water park turned on on hot days.
Lots of room for kids birthday parties and gatherings. Plenty of shaded areas too.
Seems to be missing a bit more older children playground things.
Very fun for babies and up to 6-7years of age.
Amazing though considering it is all completely free.
Well done moreton bay for installing this!

Went to the waterpark for a childrens birthday celebration. The area is well set out and cater for smaller groups with shade shelters, grassed areas, free BBQ's, clean toilet facilities, and, of course the free water park entertainment for the kids to have a play. Well done, City of Morton Bay.
It's a good little spot. Yes, it gets packed on hot days. There are not many covered areas to sit, but a nice little spot
A large water play area for little and big kids with a variety of things to keep them entertained for an hour or two. A big playground next to it as well. Gets very busy on weekends with birthdays and family gatherings but plenty of street parking available. Definitely worth visiting
Awesome! The staff are very friendly and helpful. Excellent swimming programs.
So much fun and adventure. From the moment you dive in to that moment you nail that big climb up the slide. Lots of adventure. It’s not for the feint hearted on a choppy day but it’s fun. Did I mention adventure. Well run. Not you may rules but you feel safe and supported
Fantastic fun time for all ages. Went here on a Saturday and although it was busy there was ample room for all. I booked the 50min package and it went by very fast. For any adults thinking about going, it definitely makes you feel like a big kid again.
Last day of school holidays, hot day and no water on at all. And no signs saying times water may be on
Nice place for the kids who love to play with waters. Lot of water games. Recommended to take chair and floor mat and tent due to busy summer hot day.
Absolute bummer. Came all the way here but the water play automatically shut off because of supposed high winds. It's Sydney! There will always be winds.
Took an 8yr old girl and 3 10yr old boys on the school holidays. Had lots of fun. A little busy but it was the first session on school holidays so that's to be expected. We're going again next week before end of the holidays. Will do a later session and get there a little earlier to organise ourselves. Was a good fun challenging course.
Absolutely fantastic! My son and husband went on this and loved it, so much fun. Staff were extremely supportive, friendly and helpful. Young male lifeguard was so good talking to my son and helping him get over to the inflatables. Makes it all so much better when others have empathy and are kind. Highly recommend 👍
Came today using 7 day pass. I’d say out of all the parks not my top. It was bad weather also today so lots of rides closed. But the shows kept. Over Waited 2.5 hours for the new wooden roller coaster. They did a repair and couldn’t be bothered to tell us while waiting and noticed on the theme park app while already waiting over an hour. Food not many options. More options for little kids and rides.
My favourite was the seal show and of course the dolphin show.
I’d come back to watch the shows otherwise I’d just go to movie world or wet and wild. Even the polar bear was not visible. It’s not the same as it was twenty years ago!!!

Overall a good park, but I think it's a bit overpriced. If you saw packed parking either come back another day or buy the tickets with fast track; otherwise you will be waiting in queues for up to an hour for a 1 minute ride. There are some shows and performances at certain times so it is better to use their app to schedule your visit. I liked the aquarium with different fishes. There are options to snorkel in the pond if you like close encounters.
If you love biology / zoology, this is definitely worth visiting, especially the snorkelling with sea animals. The only downside is the divers (instructors). They are late arrivers and not very well organised. They need to work on explaining things to those customers who are new to snorkelling.
Nevertheless, great infrastructure and five-star experience.
Recommend underwater camera.

My family had a wonderful time on Boxing Day. Loads of fun, laughs a plenty.
Thoroughly recommend it great value.

It’s a good place to visit unfortunately weather is not on our side. Not only most shows are cancelled, we didn’t even make meaningful use of the fast pass. As several rides are closed for renovation and some cannot operates during severe weather. Kids were playing by the reef and thunder alert. All water activities are closed.
This is a very fun experience. The water obstacle course has everything. Slides, swings and jumps. It has a pillow that you can be catapulted in the air. They work on a buddy system from 2 or so people sticking together on the course. Everyone wears a life jacket and makes swimming back onto the course easy. There is a public toilet block close by and an undercover area with tables and chairs. This is a great place to take the whole family but does require a level of fitness.
Good place to visit with kids and family.
Dolphin and seal shows were pretty great.
The food is definitely overpriced there, so just bring something with you.
Easy to spend 2-5 hours there, without getting bored.

For me, it was my second time going to this place with one of my friends that I didn't realise that he noticed about it on the website. When it was my first time there, the park looked nice, and there were lots of children playing in the playground even though I wasn't sure where the toilets were for the first time. I went on the swings, which bishara pushed me really high. There is a BBQ area for family and friends to hang out for weekends or weekdays if not busy people. The best way to cool down during the summer is staying in the shade with ice cream 🍦. I still think the park can improve a lot by adding more shading covers for adults or teens to not get sunburn. This was my best day out of all parks. ❤️
For the first time in one month ago that I haven't reviewed a place until today, and the one we went to is our first time there at this amazing park the grass is neat and the space is huge which on the other has a splash water park with a lot of parents and kids there to play for the perfect summer season there was one little problem if this was a five stars it would've been perfect but there was rubbish around the floor and next to the seats along with the shelters that I wish someone can clean it though a little disappointed but the park is amazing 👏
Make sure you come in with at least 15 mins to complete the necessary acknowledgments that this is at your own risk. My boy has really enjoyed it, but remind them to be careful. So glad they operate in Redcliffe! 😊
What a fabulous place for a 10th birthday party. If you are looking for a fun place for the great outdoors where the kids are so excited about what they just did that want to go again. With covered areas to hold the party and bbq’s. We will be back
Sooo much fun. We took our 4 year old. Highly recommend. Also make sure you take bathers or swimwear. You can, and will get wet in some of the areas. Great fun for the whole family!
Highlights, the dolphin and seal shows. The park has a good mix of thrill rides and animal enclosures. There is a huge areas for seals, dolphins and sea turtles.
Our family favorite was the pirate ship and water park. The little ones enjoyed that especially.
Food and stalls every where. Come with deep pockets, I'll be honest, the food is pricey, but it doesn't diminish the overall experience. Plus you're going to a theme park, you know the food is going to be pricey. There's a great little food court, with stalls set up with carnival type games. It's good fun. 😊

Nice park with a lot for kids to play in.
Specifically for our 2,5 year old.

The owner is an absolute horrid lady. Arrogant, conceited, demeaning, rude, unprofessional, uneducated. You name it this woman has it, in the worst possible way. She also tried to provide some nasty misinformation to a client, and unfortunately that was just the icing on the cake. Would happily take legal action if the client wasn’t so scared of her. Don’t know how anyone tolerates her. Lookout for the gaslighting comment she leaves on all reviews that are less than perfect too. Here’s hoping she goes out of business once the new pool in West Bundaberg opens 🤞🏽
Wonderful location for a bbq and water play for kids. Facilities are well maintained and good amount of parking space as well. The waterpark area is very popular with kids for the fountains as well as bucket that empties itself when full.
Lots of kids play equipment over 2 seperate areas as well as walking paths around the area. Dont miss the ebins, which are basically smart bins that are networked.

Outstanding experience with one small drawback. Clean, thrilling rides, easy to navigate around, food trucks in the afternoon are an excellent idea, food was pretty good for a fun park. Only problem is, the ‘skip the queue’ pass can’t be used for the most popular rides, so the wait on some was a bit of a stretch but staff were friendly and my daughter loved every minute.
A nice and clean park with fun standard equipment and some water features for kids of all ages. Not the biggest park in Sydney but with enough to keep a 1-10 year old busy for an hour or two.
Great for picnics and barbecues, with parking available at the park and nearby. Clean and available bathrooms and overall well kept make this a nice destination less than 10 minutes from Merrickville and Wolli Creek.

Pretty good experience unfortunately they had majority of the adult rides either closed on not even on they didn’t really have try the seats before your enter which sucks because it wasn’t great trying to get on a ride and getting told to get off because of your height and body size definitely sucked on that part or else I would of went somewhere else. They need to be better than this next time not coming here because I only spent 2 hours the most here.
Great family day out, even for small kids. Lots to do. Midweek entry (wed) no ride wait times. Park very clean even with construction work happening
Beautiful beach with plenty of sittings for chilling and barbecuing.
Rides for small and older kids, endless fun park. Restaurants, fast foods, and beer on tap. Entertainment for the whole family. Petting zoo, crocodiles and a white tiger for everyone admire. You can take your beach trolley for all the kit. Works well for a young family. Sunblock and hat please. We will definitely be back, especially during school holidays.
Good value for money and good entertainment, there is a lot of construction happening at the moment so that obviously takes away from the experience a little,
There were a few places with not a lot of shade but I feel like they offer more shade than some of the other theme parks anyway.
We loved the animals and there were a good range of rides that both parent and kid could go on which is nice.

Such great family fun.
All ages there’s a right pace and so many things to do.
Clean.
Not big queues and ample shade areas when it’s warm & sunny.
Thanks for an awesome day out with friends.

Annual local pass is very good value. Wildlife section is good for kids not into rides. Would love more variety of thrill rides for thrill seekers.
Firstly, it was way bigger place than I thought. Before I went there, I was thinking maybe this place is for kids, but it wasn't. It's a really fun place for adults too! We did a 5-minute(there's longer options) helicopter tour and was great.
Awesome day with the family! The Dolphin and the seal show were a must see. Other highlights were the ray feeding (line up early if you want to feed them as these are limited, but you'll still get to touch them), and watching the polar bear feeding from the underwater viewing chamber - so amazing!
The rides were more tame than movie world and the turn around times very slow and could be managed much better. However, this did not detract from the excellent day overall.

Dreamworld and whitewater world were amazing. Great to so many families enjoying the park like us. Keep up the great work dreamworld, the corroboree and tiger island were a must see alongside the variety of kid friendly and thrill seeker rides
Most cherished experience in Gold Coast.
There are so many awesome rides for every age group.
Visiting on a weekday has its perks as there were no wait times for any of the rides, and you can also get rides to yourself.

Wasn't very busy when we went, very short lielnes for rides. Dolphin show was a standout! They were doing deals on some experiences so our kids got to do the reef snorkel for $45. It was amazing! Even though my daughter was very nervous, she was supported by the lovely ladies running it and it was a highlight of the day. We spent a full day here, enjoyed everything!
Great place for kids to play in the warmth, bring a hat and swimmer they will have hours of fun here. There was always a lifeguard patrolling too
Lovely spot, my 2 year old had a great time here, we had a picnic in the shade, came on a Thursday about lunch time and it was reasonably quiet. Just a short walk to the park.
Amazing. Went with family 2 kids and 2 adults.
Fair pricing and fun for the kids. Something fall all ages. Kids loved splash pool and the kiddie rides. Adults loved the roller coasters and the shows.
Only downside was to see the monorail shut.

Very relaxing River side walk and water park for all ages in Ipswich, QLD!
Highly recommend going during the week, NOT on the holidays.
It's an amazing place. Spectacular animal performances and great enclosures of some of the best sea creatures there are. The dolphins, seals, and penguins are the best, and the colourful sea jellies are so pretty.
Their rides are great, with options for children, teens, adults, and those with a low thrill tolerance. There's also plenty of water activities as well to do on a hot day.

Great pool. My kids and us absolutely love swimming here. Nice clean and neat and great staff! I do wonder if you can offer autistic severity level 3 children swim lessons (3 yo) and prices of you do ☺️
In this place, we can meet a polar bear, mini penguins, dolphins, and many fishes.
And there is an exciting roller-coaster, too. It is really really fast but not scary. At the top of the roller-coaster, we can see all the landscapes of this beautiful area.
I had lots of fun here. I couldn't go around a lot because I didn't have enough time during my journey. Hopely, visit here again next time.

Stumbled upon this perfect little hidden gem whilst passing through GC. It was perfect for our little one to cool down in whilst we got some fish and chips!
This is the best of the attraction for children and adults. Nice place to walk around and mini local attraction. I would say best place to go.
A wonderful experience for the family. There were some rides down for maintenance when we were there, but plenty of others, in addition to the plethora of shows and animals, to keep us entertained for the whole seven hours we were there. We used an interactive map, but did find there were a lack of signposts and directions for different areas. It is worth doing some planning beforehand.
Another great day out. Lots to see. The dolphin show was amazing and highlight for me and my family. It's really great for small kids. But there is something for everyone if you enjoy that sort of thing amd a few good rides for the adults and bigger kids too. 5 stars. Thanks sea world
We love this Park. Such a great facility to have in the area. My kids loved the playgrounds. Awesome to have areas for small children and big kids. The splash pad area is fantastic. Both my kids love the water, so spent a majority of their time there.
The park area was clean and tidy. Toilet facilities were clean and tidy.
Heaps of undercover seating and tables to have lunches, catch ups or small parties.
Highly recommended this park, a real favourite with my kids.

Unfortunately this was the dirtiest indoor pool I have swum in. Murky water and floating slime were evident whilst swimming(13/6/23). I have swum most days in many pools in each town that we stop in over recent months. Change rooms were ancient with open showers and change areas. Hopefully the new aquatic centre will be completed for our next stay.
Excellent location for people that want to have a quick dip. Particularly good for those with kids as there are lifeguards that monitor the pool. It is wheelchair accessible and has a large disabled bathroom that even has a ceiling hoist.
Nicely maintained park. Parking is limited, so need to get in early on hot days or school holidays. Toilet facilities are near, as well as a good playground, oval and BBQ facilities.
Note: the toilets are a bit dark and very noisy as they share the same building as the pumps.

Such a wonderful playground, water play, soccer/footy area, little bike track, mini trampoline, slides, swings - I didnt see the bbq facilities I must of missed it?
Would be good to get more seatings especially around the playground area.
Such a cool park for kiddies. The kiosk dont sell coffee which was a bit of a shock. The owner mention next season hopefully they will get a coffee machine!

What a fantastic, free facility for kiddies. Clean toilets, Cafe and plenty of shade.
Pretty good park. Has a small splash area. An area with water pumps(automatic) and a maze of funnels that the water runs through.
Play area with a spiders Web and slide down from the top. A couple of swings and a zip line. Quite a number of benches and BBQs, but they fill up quickly.

Just spent the afternoon here with friends and their kids, my 3 year old nephew absolutely had a ball 😁 all for free too! The only thing we paid for was the food and drinks (pictured) from the restaurant close by which were fab. Bring your own picnic and its a great day out for minimal dollars👏
Wonderful new park with so much to do. Massive splash area with water pumps. Climbing equipment, trampolines, slides, swings. Toilets and kiosk. Check council website for operating times. See parksandadventuresofsydney on Instagram for more.
Excellent water park with some shades. Fountains, waterfalls and sea animals are all part of the fun. My son loves it so much.
Thank you CBC council for providing such a wonderful park for the kids. Together as a community, let's keep the cleanliness of the park by becoming a responsible visitors.
The kiosk girls were very friendly and let our 8 n 10 yr olds access to the 25mtre heated pool very early in morning... Great to see all the families and learning swimming toddlers there. Awesome service and lovely lay out with 3 or 4 different pools.. highly recommended!!
The ladies in reception are lovely. The swim teachers however, not so much. If you have a child with disabilities don't expect an understanding approach to their lessons. They'll have them sit on the side for the majority of the lesson for being 'naughty', their self esteem crushed and just when your child may warm up to a teacher and begin to show progress, there will be a teacher change without warning. We only swam there for 2 months and had 3 different teachers in that time. I guess I'll just teach my own child to swim.
A good clean park with a variety of play areas for kids of all ages. If you want a table I recommend going down early as it is a popular place for birthday parties on the weekend.
So so wonderful, actually quite envious that we don’t have these facilities where we live!
Brisbane are kicking some serious goals here 🙏👏🙌👏👏😂

A great centre for little children with the fun splash play area out the back! I think for older children 7+, I'm inclined to take them to one of the bigger aquatic centres. This one is perfect for pre-school aged children or if you live super local I guess.
Great spot to bring young kids. Can get a bit crowded on hot days. Some of the ground around the water park can get really hot, waterproof shoes recommended.
Great park with all the features for kids! Not so many people around. You can pretty much find everything here. BBQ with cover, riverside walk, flying fox, water play, tree house climbing, especially the bollards just like those ones in Geelong! I would say this place is a hidden gem in Ipswich. Another great park to go other than Queens Park. We went to the park after visiting the Ipswich Children’s Library, just made a perfect day trip from Brisbane 😄
Excellent! Lovely splash park for kids (maybe bring a toy boat), fabulous park with swings and zip wire too. My 5 year old spent 3 hours here. Lots of places to sit in the shade, BBQ facilities, many birthday parties going on, ideal for scooters and good toilets. Best of all tonnes of easy parking even when busy. Only downside was no wifi. Great fun. Oh and a lovely big open grass area too.
Excellent water play area for toddlers. Shallow flowing water with fountains, features, pools and waterfall. Surrounds include seating, shade umbrellas, artificial grass, playground, outdoor and indoor showers and toilets. Lifeguard on duty.
Broadwater Rockpools!⛱🌊🌞 It's perfect for all ages but more often visited by families with Babies through to Toddlers. Shallow basins are arranged throughout! Alongside stone Sea animals and layers of stone dunes. The main attraction the water fall which waters flows all the way through. Sprinkler features for a splash. Perfect for littlies and families to have some fun in the sun. Your kids will love it😊👍
Good things :
Fun and safe place for kids lifeguards are available during daytime water always kept clean ‘showers and bathroom are nearby available few takeaway ( kebab shop ‘ ice cream ) shop also close to the pool
Bad things :
very busy ‘hard to find car park ‘
Over all good place to visit with family and spend time with them here

The kids really enjoyed spending time here. Lots of shade and park activities. Water play, flying fox, swings, exercise equipment, tree houses, picnic tables and a board walk along the river. I would definitely recommend to anyone with kids of any age.
This pool has been a staple of Southbank for over 2 decades now. The design and layout is designed to make it feel like your at the sea side.
With sandy beaches in one side, and Rocky walls on the other. It is a great place to have a swim

Large open plan playground with flying fox, swings and trampolines. Shaded by trees and partially fenced along the river. Bbq, picnic tables and bubbler. Rubber floor and woodchip floor.
Water play area is shaded with shade cloths. Partially fenced. Creek bed style water area and water fountains.
Nearby poorly maintained toilet. No nearby cafe. Lots of parking.

Great park. Better than I expected. Very family and kid friendly. There could of been more of the water park features but its a good start with plenty of room for expansion.
There is free driving water. Toilets. Plenty of trees for shade which is great.
I would come here again for sure.

Whilst my children were playing with the balls in the water I had one of the workers walk up and ask for one of my children to give him the ball they were playing with urgently and then walked over to another parent with their child that he happens to know on a friends basis and gave the ball he took from my daughter to the other child. Meanwhile there were balls in the pool that wasn't being played with he could have taken.
Not happy. Took from a happy child to give to another and left the happy one upset not a cool thing at all. So very disgusted in his behavior.
Then to call and make this complaint and to find out it was the actual owner who has done this!!! How disgraceful!

Fantastic pool to spend the hot summer. In holidays gets very busy but still ver clean. Normal days is perfect to swim. There are bathrooms very close and plenty of restaurants nearby.
Great little walk on the board walk. Water park was perfect for my toddler to play. Has picnic bbq and toilet facilities as well as a vending machine for convenience. Will keep coming back with my growing family.
Great playground for 5-10 year olds. Perfect on a warm day, kids will enjoy the water fountains.
