Overview
Summer is here, which means barbeques, beach trips, and, of course, school holidays. Sydneysiders with kids (or 'kidults') now at home are in luck, as Waterworld Central is returning for another year.
Held at the Entertainment Quarter, Australia's largest inflatable waterpark is turning the school holidays into one giant, supersoaked adventure. Waterworld Central kicks off on Friday, January 9, 2026 and runs until Sunday, February 1, with sessions running from 10am to 4pm.

Waterworld Central is split into several inflatable attractions. Feel the rush on the massive wave slide, and beat the heat in the winter-themed Snow World Pool. You can float the day away in the Paddle Boat Pool, or unwind and chill in the Gorilla Pool. This year's slide lineup is designed for all kinds of families and friend groups, including thrill-seekers, toddler parents, and anyone who just wants to beat the heat.

Spectators can enter for free if they don't fancy getting wet alongside the kiddos. But for those taking the plunge, you can nab an All-Day Super Pass (all ages) for $60. Otherwise, a two-hour stint costs $40 for individuals aged five and up, while a two-hour Toddler Pass (which includes a child under five and a supervising adult) also costs $40.
If you're planning a summer birthday, group outing or family holiday catch-up, Waterworld Central also offers discounted group booking rates. Think of it as the ultimate way to cool down this summer holiday, and be sure to book your tickets in advance before the sessions sell out.
