Now in its sixth year, Victoria’s biggest water theme park transforms into a real snow-filled wonderland, offering families a more affordable alternative to a trip to the mountains.
This winter playground includes Victoria’s largest indoor snow play zone, where kids can immerse themselves in fresh, man-made snow, make snow angels or slide down the snow hill. Take aim at the Snowball Throw Zone – a custom-designed target wall that lets you challenge family to a snowball fight without the wet face.
Families can also conquer two brand new rides. Experience high-speed thrills on the 45-metre long Ice Toboggan ride, along with the heart-pounding Drop Zone – a 20 metre high drop tower, the tallest of its kind in Victoria.
The thrills don’t stop there with unlimited theme park rides all night long on 10 rides including the Wave Swinger, Crazy Coaster and Ferris Wheel.
