Took my son and grandson here to while away an hour during the summer holidays and stayed the whole afternoon. The boys absolutely loved it. We took buckets and spades because there is a sandpit and slides but the most fun they had was in the water fountains and on the waterfalls. We had a picnic with us (although there are food places nearby,) but they had to be pulled away from the water to eat it and could not wait to go back. It was busy when we first got there but became quieter as the afternoon went on, there are toilet facilities close by which was a plus too. I would suggest you take swimsuits or a complete change of clothes for kids, as well as a towel (they will get extremely wet!) my two had sliders on because there are rocks so it can get slippery.

Read moreWasn't expecting much (or it to be open) but pleasantly surprised with this park. Sand area, couple of hammocks, beaches all around, slide, water pumps, fountains and little streams. Great way to spend an afternoon with the kids. Sights and restaurants all around, including Four Hundred Rabbits (great pizza place) overlooking the water park. There's also a grass area for picnicking. Got here with 343, alighting at Elephant Park and easy to find in foot. Well-connected. Wasn't too busy when we went, but it wasn't boiling hot and we got there after 4pm. Security personnel around and CCTV - due to it being a public place I suppose. Didn't need the toilets but apparently some nearby. We'd go...
