Perth’s Outback Splash in Bullsbrook offers an a‑MAZE‑ing family day out! With so many activities and a heap of water attractions (including the lagoon pool and 4 waterslides), it is the perfect place to be creating lasting memories for families with children of all ages! Once known as “The Maze”, this spot has attractions wet and dry. Here’s our ULTIMATE guide to everything you’ll find at the brilliant Outback Splash.
The Lagoon at Outback Splash
The Lagoon at Outback Splash is a fantastic feature, perfect for the whole family. This huge pool truly caters for everyone!
If you’re not a fan of the thrilling slides (like me), then The Lagoon offers a welcome change of pace from Outback Splash’s other water play areas. This massive resort‑style pool was crafted by the company behind the Crown Towers pool, and it certainly gives off that same chill holiday vibe. I absolutely loved it.
The Lagoon is mostly fenced and gated, with just the paddling section and windmill water feature openly accessible.
You’ll find a beach‑style toddler entry complete with a charming windmill water feature, plus a shaded shallow zone specifically designed for little ones.
There are also plenty of stepped ledges around the pool for easy access and relaxation.
We visited the pool on a 39‑degree day and the water temperature was just perfect! I could have swum around for hours! At its deepest, the pool has a comfortable depth of 1.3m. There are plenty of ledges to sit on and even a fun swim‑up island.
You’ll discover an abundance of sun loungers, all equipped with umbrellas for your comfort.
For those seeking a bit more privacy and shade, private cabanas are available for hire.
The “Party Hut” is also a great option for larger group gatherings.
A fully licensed bar serves refreshing Gage Roads beer, wine, cocktails, and soft drinks. These are served in cups/plastic glasses, and you’re welcome to enjoy them in the bar area by the pool or at your sun lounger – just not in the pool itself.
A convenient toilet, shower, and baby‑change block, complete with plenty of lockers, is located right next door to the pool.
Plus, there are handy floatation vests available to borrow.
With this resort‑style pool, the whole family is truly catered for, offering a perfect spot for lazing around and paddling. It genuinely feels like a holiday!
Outback Splash Waterslides
The impressive 17.5‑metre‑high waterslide tower boasts 4 slides that are widely regarded as some of Perth’s most thrilling waterslides.
The tower features The Wall, Blackout, Gold Rush, and The Wedgie. A minimum height requirement of 120cm applies to all 4 slides. The 101 steps to the top provide a great workout before the exhilarating descent!
The Wall is a mammoth quarter‑pipe raft slide and stands as the only one of its kind in Western Australia. It features natural light effects and an almost free‑fall drop, expertly engineered to deprive you of your senses – it definitely gets the heart pounding! The Wall is designed for a 2‑person raft ride.
Blackout features a sequence of pitch black and overwhelming natural light effects that are mind-blowing! This twisting turning slide is a 2 person raft slide.
Gold Rush is a great one to build your confidence as it is tamer than the other slides, the translucent gold slide means the rider can not only see out but spectators can watch from below. The Gold Rush is a 1 person body slide.
The Wedgie is for extreme thrill-seekers and the name says it all! At 75 kilometres per hour, The Wedgie is WA’s fastest body slide.
Splash Island
Splash Island is 3 storeys of slippery fun! There’s something for all ages with 6 water slides; a 2 lane toddler slide, a family slide and 4 larger slides.
Families with young children will enjoy the ‘splash’ area which has a multitude of water jets and showers.
The two-lane toddler racing slide is a big hit with the younger kids. Even on a busy day, you don’t have to wait more than a minute for your turn.
Kids must be 100cm tall to ride the yellow and red slides and 120cm tall to ride the green and blue slides. Only one person is allowed to go down the slide at any time.
There is a large blue family slide which enables 3 people to ride at once. The younger kids love this one and again the queue for this goes down very quickly.The centrepiece of the slide structure is a huge tipping bucket which, without warning, tips out 1,000 litres of water. If you are stood underneath, nearby or are queuing for a turn on one of the slides – you will get wet!
Octopus Bay
Younger children will love Octopus Bay which caters for children aged 0 – 10 years. Octopus bay features a shallow, beach entry splash pool partly covered by shade sails which are perfect for younger children to cool off in.
A popular feature is the Octopus slide which consists of 3 slides covered by a water umbrella.
For the little ones, there is a super cute rainbow fish slide.
The kids really enjoyed the mini tipping bucket which showered down water at regular intervals. This is great for the younger kids who find the tipping bucket at the big slides a bit too heavy for them.
Around the perimeter of the water playground is many sun loungers – most of which have shade. If you wish to secure a couple I’d recommend arriving early or later in the day when people start to leave.
If you are willing to splash the cash then you can hire out one on their cabanas for the day. Available to hire are Splash Cabanas, located next to the waterslide playground, and Bay View Cabanas, located next to Octopus Bay. The cabanas are suitable for 4 -6 guests and include 2 sun lounges,2 deck chairs and 6 complimentary bottles of water.
If you have a larger group, then check out the Party Cabana, which includes a large picnic table, 4 sun loungers and 12 complimentary bottles of water.
If you do miss out on securing a lounger, there is a huge grassy area next to the water playground where many families have pitched up with their own sunshade, from beach umbrellas to large gazebos.
Right next to the water playground is a toilet block that includes showers and changing rooms. You’ll also find lockers to store your belongings.
Feeling hungry? There is a snack kiosk serving pies, sandwiches, sausages, ice-creams and cold drinks. If you need a coffee or a more substantial meal, then you’ll find these at the burger cafe. Once you’ve finished getting wet and wild, don’t forget that The Maze has so much more to offer – it just keeps on growing!
The Mazes and More at Outback Splash
You’ll find mini-golf, many mazes, a playground, koalas and more. There are many free BBQs dotted around so why don’t you bring along your sausages and burgers!
All attractions are included in the entrance fee. The park has many mazes with the biggest being the timber maze, found close to the entrance. We find this tricky maze the most difficult. The wood panels look the same at every turn and it was really easy to get lost!
The aim of this maze is to navigate your way to the tower. From the top you get a great view of the maze (and can help your bamboozled friends!) and kids will love taking the slippery slide back to the bottom.
The traditional hedge maze is also a lot of fun! This is the only hedge maze in Perth and can also be quite a challenge!
Find your way to the center of the maze before your friends and then race them back to the exit.
Another firm favourite is the tractor tyre maze. Here you must walk the planks between each tyre in a specific order – red, yellow and blue to get to the checked flag.
Two small mazes look easy… but don’t be fooled! Danae’s Dilemma and Phil’s Frustration are brain teasers where you can either make right hand or left hand turns only to get to the end. It’s very tricky!
The whole park is beautifully landscaped with lots of grassed areas and plenty of shade. There are loads of picnic tables and sheltered areas (which need to be reserved) and there’s plenty of free BBQs. There is plenty of open space to throw down a picnic blanket, an let the kids run around the expansive lawns.
Didn’t bring a picnic or BBQ? There’s tasty take away options at the Burger Bar. Here there’s seating under shade sails on the outside deck.
The fun 9 hole mini golf course doesn’t take very long to complete, but you can play as many times as you like! There’s also a giant garden chess game.
The play area is found amongst the picnic area and is very shady. There are swings, a climbing net, a climbing wall, a slide, and a four-person spring see-saw.
There’s plenty to do for all the family at Outback Splash.
Looking for a summer day out that’s easy, fun, and guaranteed to wear the kids out? Outback Splash delivers big smiles for little ones, thrill rides for brave tweens, and plenty of shady chill time for grown‑ups. Pack the towels, round up the cousins, and make a day of it—slides, splashes, mazes and mini golf all in one spot. It’s one of those places you’ll leave saying, “We should’ve come sooner.” See you by the lagoon!
