Time Out says

Adventure Park is the place to go when you want some waterside fun. There are plenty of waterslides, kids rides or family activities like go-karting or mini-golf. Start off with the Wild West Canyon, where the water slide takes you through a dark tunnel and you perform two 360 degree spins before moving onto the Aqua Racer, where you can speed down to the finish line at up to 40km per hour! Next up is the Gold Rush Rapids where you'll get flipped, slipped and spun down 110 metres of water slides awesomeness. If all this sounds a bit too exciting for you then ease yourself onto the Lazy River where you simply sit back in an inflatable ring and idly float down the tropically themed river.

For the thrillseekers (or the foolish) there is the Tornado which opened in late 2017. The biggest and longest waterslide of its kind in the state, this beast will drop you down from the 24-metre tower through the snaking slides. You'll even experience moments of zero gravity weightlessness! The newest ride to date, however, is the Tsunami – the Tornado's sister slide and the only triple funnel waterslide in Victoria. 

Adventure Park reopens for the summer season on November 27, 2021.

What’s on

Winter Glow

You might think water parks and winter don't mix (especially down here in Victoria). But Geelong's Adventure Park isn't letting a little cold weather stop it from providing Victorians with a good time – in fact, it's provided a little inspiration.  Adventure Park's Winter Glow event is bringing lights, fire, ice and snow to the amusement park this winter. The festival (which is running until August 9) features fire twirling, ice sculptures and 3.3 million lights that will twinkle all around the park along a two-kilometre trail. While real snow might be a rare sight in Geelong, there will be a huge snow play zone (the largest outside of the ski resorts) where kids can make snowmen and snow angels  –warm gloves, gumboots and jackets are recommended!  Eight theme park rides are included in entry, including the Tea Cups, Air Balloons, Crazy Coaster, Wave Swinger, Grand Carousel, Red Baron, Little Buggy Speedway and Ferris Wheel (what a way to see the park all lit up). Face painting and marshmallow toasting will be on offer for the kids, while adults can enjoy a spiked hot chocolate, mulled wine or spiced cider. And lots of delicious novelty food items available to dine on, too. Winter Glow is on at Adventure Park until August 9. Find out more here. Keen for more winter fun?
