Highlights
- The Mammoth Tower: This is a huge climbing and sliding structure that dominates the course. Kids love the challenge of reaching the top before plunging into the water below.
- Blast Bags: These giant inflatable cushions allow one person to jump onto the end and "blast" their friend into the air and into the lake.
- Balance Beams: Test your stability as you try to cross narrow inflatable beams without slipping into the water—it's much harder than it looks!
- The Giant Slide: A high-speed descent that ends with a big splash, perfect for those who want a quick thrill without the climbing.
- Flip Maps and Hurdles: Scattered throughout the park are various smaller obstacles that require jumping, crawling, and sliding to navigate the circuit.
Beyond the Main Attraction: Since the park is located at the Lakeside Shopping Centre, there is plenty to do nearby once you've dried off. You can visit the Nickelodeon Adventure indoor play centre or catch a film at the Vue Cinema. For those who prefer more outdoor time, the surrounding lake area offers walking paths and plenty of spots for a picnic.
