Summer at Adventure Park Geelong
Keep cool and thrill-seek at the same time, as this much-loved water park has added a soaring new attraction made for adrenaline junkies.
Overview
Call it an obsession, but as soon as the warm weather arrives, we can't seem to stay away from the water. While you might settle for a backyard pool or your nearest beach, turning up the heat slightly more this summer is made possible at Adventure Park Geelong. Just an hour from Melbourne, Victoria's biggest water park is the ultimate family day out — and it's got a brand-new thrill to explore.
With 23 rides and attractions designed for thrill seekers keen to keep cool, the addition of Thunder Falls to this summer's excitement offers a whole other perspective. As Victoria's first-ever free-fall drop waterslide, adrenaline junkies step into a trapdoor floor before plunging into a 105-metre white-water free-fall. On the way down, you'll hit speeds of up to 35 kilometres per hour — that's not for the faint-hearted.
For even more adventure, tackle the 7.5-storey Tsunami — the state's only triple-funnel waterslide. There's also the Tornado, a fast and furious waterslide featuring 360-degree twists and turns, and the crowd-pleasing Aqua Racer, featuring a six-lane slide to the finish line. But don't stress if relaxation is more your style. Adventure Park Geelong is also home to tropical lazy rivers, luxe private cabanas and fun-loving play zones for little ones.
"Summer at Adventure Park is all about creating unforgettable moments for families," says Managing Director Bree Salmon. "With its unmatched mix of adrenaline, relaxation and family-friendly fun, Adventure Park Geelong continues to set the benchmark as one of Victoria's most complete and compelling summer family experiences."
