Adventure Land — Attraction in George

So much fun! If you visit Plett you absolutely have to go to Adventure Land. I wish we took more pics but we were too busy having fun.

Upon arrival on a mid week day, the place was quite empty. It was nice and early so we had arrived before anyone else. It was a little bit of a walk from the gate to the actual rides but when you get down there you very quickly forget about the walk and are blown away by the scenery. Giant trees surrounding well looked after lawns and pools.

The rides were a lot of fun. We started off on the top as we picked a spot close to the little kids slides. Once we had gotten them used to the water we set out to tackle the bigger rides. It’s a lot of up-and-down stairs but that’s part of the experience as you need to walk up to take the slides down.

Every ride had a lookout and it seemed that all rides were well looked after. We never felt unsafe. They have a small tuck shop for foods and quite a variety on the menu to keep us all fed. The adults enjoyed the rides as much as the kids did (probably even more).

The weather on the day was stunning, no wind. Really beautiful place, in the middle of a forest and so much greenery. There are paths for wheelchairs and enough variety of slides and fun for all ages. There is also a “dry” park for those who prefer to not get wet.

Price wasn’t too bad considering what you get. We spent more than half the day there so you get more than your moneys worth. You definitely want to pack your suntan lotion on a hot day. There are toilets and changing rooms plus lockers if you want to store your...

The facilities are great and my kids absolutely love it there, really good value for money compared to other activities in the area.

The reason for the three star review: Unfortunately, people do not take the rules seriously at all and there is no one enforcing them. There is a smoking area, but there were people in the family area who blatantly disregarded the no smoking signs and had their cigarettes in my children's faces. I asked them to please refrain, but they decided to ignore me. I then went to reception to report the situation and the lady contacted the manager on duty, but not once did he come down to the family area to check, so it continued and really spoilt the day for us. Later on there were more people who simply just smoked wherever they wanted. These people were also openly drinking alcohol from glass bottles, in fact they had a big bucket full of it and again, nothing was done about it even though glass and alcohol is not allowed. There is a big sign proclaiming that the tubes are not for the pool, however the pool was filled with people floating in tubes and at one point there was even a guy using five tubes to thread his body through... This meant that there were often no tubes to be found for the rides.

I think it is time to start enforcing the rules so that everyone can have fun instead of a few people spoiling it for everyone. I would not have posted this on a review, but unfortunately even after reporting it on the day to the staff and management,...

Adventure land is definitely an adventure! My family and I absolutely loved it! I love how kids and adults can all enjoy this waterpark. My parents also went on the slides and loved it! I would definitely recommend going here. I would also recommend taking the following with:

• A towel (someone there forgot their towels, and there isn’t somewhere to buy one) • Picnic food (there is options to buy there, but we loved having a picnic) • An umbrella (lovely with the picnic. There is also an option to rent an umbrella) • Sunscreen! Definitely a must, since you spend almost all day in the sun.

Another thing to note, is that they told us that the slides do not operate during loadshedding. I would also recommend going at 10 in the morning (when they open), so you can enjoy the whole day in the park and get value for your money!

The only bad thing I can say, is that some of the people who work at the slides, don’t really care about the rules that much, and do not enforce the rules. The one girl that worked there kept swearing at her friends who were at the park, which I thought was very unprofessional and there were kids around.

But all in all a lovely experience, and great...
