Melbourne's Getting Another Giant Waterslide

For all of us in Melbourne, it’s a wonderful time to be alive. We’re living in golden period of entertainment and what this means, practically, is there’s a tonne of slides (apparently it’s a scientific fact that more slides equal greater happiness). And if you missed out on this waterslide, don’t worry, you’ve got options. Slide the Square is opening in Federation Square from January 9 and we’re so ready for the summer of slides.

The slide is a 75-metre run of slippery fun that will be with us for a week in January. Sessions last for 50 minutes and will set you back $20 (plus BF) for adults ($17 for concessions and children). It’s a bit exxy for the opportunity to barrel down a wet piece of plastic but you know it’s going to amazing fun and way better than lying on the couch covered by a wet cloth to avoid the heat.

You can even slip and slide in your clothes (no bathers necessary) but unfortunately all jewellery, glasses, buckles, shoes and GoPros must be left in coat check (so as not to damage the precious slide and prevent awkward selfies). And they’re pretty adamant that no naked butts will be going down the slide (sorry everyone, cover those butts).

Slide the Square, from January 9-16 in Federation Square. Grab your tickets here.
