Aquatica with a baby or infant
For whippersnappers that like it wet, wet, wet, Aquatica is a one-of-a-kind waterpark which gives you the chance to get into the water, and play about in the sea. Aquatica also has some of the world’s most unique water rides and animal encounters, and plenty for babies and toddlers to enjoy.
Best attractions for young kids at Aquatica
Walkabout Waters is a splashy fun area for little ones with tipping buckets, squirting guns and mini slides, and toddlers will love playing on the sandy beaches under a shady umbrella, frolicking in the shallow end of the 84-degree twin wave pools or just watching the black and white Commerson’s dolphins.
Kata’s Kookaburra Cove is a water wonderland for children containing 79,000 gallons of water and features fountains, rides and slides. Highlights include Slippity Dippity, Slider Rider, Racer Chaser and Zippity Zappity. Tiny tots –- even those too young to walk –- can enjoy sliding with mum and dad in specially designed rafts. Riders must be under 1.22m and life vests are required and available in all sizes so parents can relax if their toddlers can only toddle.
Tots and their parents can also take it easy on the Loggerhead Lane. This leisurely raft ride takes guests through an underwater world with tropical fish and Commerson’s dolphins. Guests under 1.21m must wear a life vest. Or for a more fast-paced experience, Roa’s Rapids is an all-action river ride along 1,500 feet of rapids, roaring high seas, geysers and waterfalls – three to four times faster than your average waterpark river, guests under 1.27m are required to wear a life vest.
Although you can hire towels at Aquatica, bring your own to leave more time for splashing and relaxing and get there early to grab an umbrella and a lounger, so you have a shady base for the day.
