Funfields has waterslides and land rides that are off the scale on the thrill-o-meter, as well as very gentle toddler water playgrounds, paddle pools, ferris wheels and carousels, and everything in between.
If you’re seeking an adrenaline hit with your waterslides head to Thrill Hill, and for high-speed land-based rides like the Alpine Toboggan Slide and bumper cars go to Velocity Valley.
If you want some warm up time, check out Origin Springs for our splashdown waterslides, or the heated wave pool and lazy river at Paradise Palms.
You’ll need to leave hats and glasses behind on some of our faster-moving attractions.
On each attraction page the clothing requirements are listed.
And don’t forget to be Sun Smart.
Rides and slides may close up to half an hour before the themepark closes. Our opening times change as the summer days get shorter – you can check it out our calendar of opening days and times.
