They have a twister race, a children's play area, so many slides and rapids to choose from, plus the Boomerang and the Wave. With different pools for varying abilities and ages this is a great place for a family day out, with thrills and spills for the older kids and several calmer areas with smaller slides and funparks for the little ones.
