Perth, being a sunny city, has a huge selection of water slides at many different venues including theme parks, water parks, and indoor leisure centres – meaning you can ride the slides all year round! Here is the Buggybuddys ultimate guide to the best water slides for kids of all ages in Perth:
Outside Water Slides
Adventure World, Bibra Lake
There are SO MANY wet and wild slides at Adventure World. The Kraken is an enormous world record-breaking funnel slide. The four-person raft negotiates over 150 metres of dark twists and turns, including a heart-pounding drop and a 360-degree twist before reaching the massive 60-foot funnel – the height of a six-storey building!
Kahuna Falls is a giant wet play area. This attraction has over 100 water-play features, including small tube slides and a giant bucket that tips torrents of water every few minutes!
Old favourites the Rocky Mountain Rapids, multi-lane Tidal Wave speed slides and the very dark Tunnel of Terror- a fully enclosed corkscrew waterslide are also very popular!
Little ones (under 6) will love the mini water play area – Kingdom Falls. The interactive aqua playground has colourful spray loops, small slides, mini bucket tips, a mushroom rain tree and a giant tipping bucket, keeping kids entertained for hours.
