For the very first time, Victoria’s biggest water theme park Adventure Park Geelong will open its gates in the evenings for Summer Nights – a series of twilight events where families can splash under the stars in December and January.
Guests will be able to ride all the awesome water rides, action rides, family rides and amusements the park is famous for and enjoy live music and kids movies on the outdoor cinema on selected Friday nights in summer.
The epic Tornado waterslide – the biggest, most thrilling and only one of its kind in the state – is sure to be a feature attraction with an added level of extreme, riding in the dark.
Adventure Park’s managing director Leanne Salmon said they were excited to offer evening entertainment for local parents and holidaymakers to make the most of the summer holidays.
“We wanted to create something our own children would love that we could share with the community. We’ve wanted to open the park for night events for a long time, but we also wanted to make sure we’ve taken every step to ensure that the events are done right,” Ms Salmon said.
Adventure Park is located on the popular holiday spot of the beautiful Bellarine Peninsula just 15 minutes from Geelong, which means those in or planning on visiting this summer will have a greater opportunity to get a taste of Victoria’s biggest water theme park under the stars.
Summer Nights will be offered as separate ticketed events that include evening admission to the park, access to all open rides and movies on the outdoor cinema.
Water rides the Tornado, the Lazy River, the Aqua Racer waterslide, Gold Rush Rapid waterslides and the family friendly water playgrounds will be open for riding as well as dry attractions; the Ferris Wheel, Grand Carousel, the Crazy Coaster, Wave Swinger, Red Baron, mini golf and Little Buggy Speedway cars.
Children’s movies will be playing on the outdoor cinema and DJs will spin family friendly tunes to add to the summer evening vibe.
Adventure Park is also one of the only family attractions that allows guests to bring their own food into the Park. However for those who like to pack light, there’ll be a big selection of food and treats available from the park’s dining venues.
Mum and dad can enjoy beer, wine and frozen daiquiris available for purchase from the licensed bar while enjoying live entertainment on the deck.
