/Slip on a rashie and hat and head to the funnest summer adventure destination in Melbourne - Funfields!
If you’re 130cm+ tall, you are definitely going to want to hit up all these waterslides at least once:
Supanova - NEW!
Gravity Wave
Blackout
Wipe Out
Voodoo 360
Kraken Racer
Splashdown
AND MORE!
With little kids in tow, hanging out down by the paddle pools (on steroids) Birdy Cove and Amazonia Falls will be best - both are suitable for even babies to splash about while also appealing to, well Mamma enjoyed the slides here a LOT so I guess… adults! And of course there’s Volcano Beach - a heated wave pool suited to all ages.
This is a fun park for all ages, there’s no doubt about that!
When you want a break from being wet, have a turn at mini golf, go-kart racing, and alpine taboganning. Big kids will enjoy Blackbeard’s Fury and the stomach churning Voodoo 360 where you build up a spin and linger upside down before swinging back down again!
Little ones have a whole ride area for themselves over at Mystic Kingdom where fairly tame rides mix with others fit to produce a preschool sized adrenaline hit.
Mamma's top tips on visiting Funfields:
Book in advance to avoid disappointment - tickets sell out during peak periods.
Get there early and set up your picnic rug or find a table and make it your base for the day - in a shady spot under a tree is ideal!
Height restrictions are in place... so it can be hard on the small ones, check these before booking. Mamma says take a spare grown up with you if you can.
Shoes needed for some rides.
Jump on the popular water rides early as there are often large lines by lunchtime.
Get a locker for valuables.
You can bring your own picnic food, and there are undercover BBQ’s here. There is also a cafe as well as ice cream shop.
