Wow I'm exhausted but with a smile of contentment on my face. Decided to take my 3yr & 10yr old to Waterworld Strand today as the holidays & crowds have left us and no real wind was predicted for Strand which is also a rarity.
So there we were bright and early walking in at 9:00 as the park opened to secure a nice spot. We were greeted by a friendly cashier and the slide assistants were in good spirits.
I was taken by how clean the park was & what was more impressive I must have seen only 2 papers that needed picking up in 6hrs we were there. As simple as the toilets were they also remained really clean throughout the stay so either the visitors were of the hygienic clean types or the toilets are checked regularly.
Food on offer at kiosk was priced fairly & not bad at all.
The winner was the kids had a ball & being there early we got nearly 2hrs of non queuing and could test all that was available. My 10yr old only visited our shady spot with table to eat & my little man kept rolling till shivering wildly, into sun to warm up & eat & back to slides with Dad or Mom until he was absolutely blown 6hrs later clocking out as we drove off in his baby seat.
As compact as the park is I must say would be great for a kids Birthday with the out door play area that was well maintained & has every piece of play equipment to test your child's outdoor skills. Even the enclosed soccer pitch on beach sand & small zip line are great ideas for small kids.
In conclusion I enjoyed the vibe of staff, friendliness, how well park & equipment was maintained, type of visitors on the day, gentle but firm way those out of line were brought to order, clean life jackets for small kids & those who needed & great spots to relax under trees whilst in full view of most of slides.
At R150 a head for a day pass & being allowed to bring own picnic basket along i just don't know where u can get better value for your buck for that many hours of fun.
Well done...
Read moreSpent the whole day at Water World in Strand today. Water slides were running well and non potable water was used. It was clean. There were lifeguards in attendance and they spervised the crowd efficiently. Well organised. Five water slides catered for all ages as well as adults. Set in a cove like setting with trees and enough tables in the shade for everyone. No need for umbrellas. Outdoor Playplace, mini soccer in soft sand and a mini zipline for children. Clean toilets which used borehole water. Refreshments on sale at the well stocked cafe. Pizzas available and freshly made. Food was not Halaal but easily solved as there is a KFC and Burger King nearby or bring your own food. Tea and coffee on sale. A Jacuzzi for adults only. You can come in and go out as you please if you purchase a day pass which was reasonable. If you are tired of the waterslides then you can safely leave all your non valuables on your table and walk about 5 minutes to the beach. Strand beach has the most lovely powdery soft sand. No reserved parking but the seems to be plenty in the side streets. Just respect private parking spaces of residentials. Although wheel chair friendly entrance going to the toilets might be a problem. Please confirm...
Read moreBeen taking my daughter and her friends for a number of years now. They always have fun both in and out of the water. There is a designated swim area for younger children and then of course the bigger slides for the more adventurous ones. They also have a big jungle gym and play area for the kids to play on/in. Plenty of seating available or picnic on the grass. Nice shady areas under trees🌳. You can bring your own food and drinks but there are certain items not allowed which you can view on their website. Basically glass bottles, alcohol, fireworks... Anything that is or can be dangerous or harmful. The restaurant does not have a major variety of food available but then... You are coming to have fun in the sun🌞 and water🌊 not dine out. We quite enjoy their fries, pizza, toasted samies and let's not forget SLUSH PUPPIES! 😁😋 🍕🍟🌭🥪🍦☕🧃🍔🍬🥤 They also cater for kids birthday parties. 🥳🎂🤡 Information available on their website or just ask about it when you are there. If you are looking for a fun outing with the kids, then this is most definitely an option. Mom can relax with a book (catch up on that tan)while dad acts like one of the kids! I have always found the owner and his staff very friendly and helpful. We really...
