Island Aqua Park Hillarys — Attraction in Hillarys

Ok. Lets start by saying that it cannot compete with the big brother down the road in Baldivis Don't come here expecting the same experience.

The good - $25 for my kid for an hour and a half was fair, charging me half price to come on to supervise (which is required - check the Terms and Conditions before booking) was a nice touch. I didn't mind $12 to basically chaperone and use a bit of the equipment.

An hour and a half is a long time with the limited amount of things to do. My 8 year old was done after an hour.

The staff is super friendly.

There were a few bigger kids and teens/young adults that continuously did flips, dives, etc and the staff seemed to turn a blind eye. There was nothing too outrageous in our session, but it seemed that it was easier for them to not get involved (I'd have been intimidated if I were a teen worker there with some of the customers), but for the most part it was fine. I did not see anyone over the age of 16-17 anywhere in sight.

Kids will have a blast, adults will have fun too.

There are a few one star reviews where people claimed that their kids were injured. These are unfair as it is basically the result of trying to run on slippery, moving equipment. This is bound to happen once in a while and a lot of the time, these experiences are as dangerous as you choose to make them. There would have been no fault of the business in these instances.

The only thing that I didn't like was the adding of taxes and credit card charges after you go through the entire booking process. Nice little way to jack up the price a dollar or two on the unsuspecting consumer.

All up, a good,...

I was offered a 20% discount if I had a good time and wrote a review.

We did have a good time but I won’t be taking advantage of this offer.

Children require a supervising parent but the aqua park requires a fit parent that doesn’t fall off. It is very easy to lose your child.

There aren’t enough life guards, my child had to be helped by nice teenagers and we were lucky to get into a ‘good’ session.

The lifeguards lazily pointed to how to get on and weren’t concerned with safety. There was a lack of lifeguards keeping an eye on things and I felt anxious when I fell off and couldn’t keep up with my child.

There is a really big height for jumping off and nobody was monitoring this to ensure people didn’t jump or slide ontop of little kids or helping.

There were climbing obstacles with 6 foot Dads climbing above small children - they can easily fall and knock someone and this wasn’t monitor.

My son had a great time but I was stressed about safety for most of it.

You need a good level of fitness - my child is very fit and I am not. We are both very sore today. Repeatedly climbing onto the park requires a high level of safety.

I’d have happily paid extra for a lifeguard to take my child in a small group so I could have a nice swim and watch on - an...

The Park itself was excellent, great fun for all ages. However Lifeguards or "Kids Common Room" was very unhelpful. We came down on Sunday the 6th feb at 1030 where myself, Wife and kids wanted to give this a go, but instead found myself acting like a Lifeguard myself as the people on duty was more interested in chatting about parties and movies instead of keeping the rules applied enforced.

I had to ask them numerous of times that there was 4 people sat at the highest point just chatting away, instead of letting anyone else get up to have a turn. Even the other side of the drop of point there was no supervision when again I had to waste time by making sure kids wasn't jumping on top of each other. Such a shame that common sense couldn't be used when their supposed to be keeping an eye on people's lives. Management might want to reflect on spacing them out during these sessions to prevent an injury...
