They have seven large and colorful water slides that will really get your adrenaline going. The Rush Racer was our favorite because we got to slide as a family together, racing to the end of the slide on our mats.
Aside from the slides, the park is also complete with a wave pool, a soaking pool, a splash pool, and a playground for the little ones. There are numerous activities to enjoy in this water park, making it an exciting experience for the whole family.
We find the whole park safe since they’re strict with enforcing the safety guidelines, such as the height and weight requirements for the slides.
Aside from the activities, we liked the well-maintained facilities. The restrooms and shower areas are clean, and the water pressure in the showers is steady. There are also many lockers available for storing personal belongings.
