KIDS' GAMES &
FAIRGROUND FUN

KIDS' GAMES & FAIRGROUND FUN

Get ready for a big day of fairground fun! Cool down on our famous tropical waterslide, race your friends through the inflatable obstacle course, or bounce around on the jumping castle. Little ones will love the swinging chairs, while bigger kids can test their skills on the mechanical bull!

There’s plenty more fun to be had with Wacky Hoops, Giant Connect Four, Wheel of Fortune, cornhole, balloon pop and the paper plane challenge. Win a prize at Lollypalooza, get creative with badge making, or try your hand at the pinball machines in the Fun Erkade.

Need a break from the action? Head to the air-conditioned Silent Disco to chill out and dance to your favourite tunes!

Save with early-bird tickets! Get unlimited access to eligible rides and activities with an All-ages Activity Pass for $30 (normally $35) or a Junior Activity Pass for $15 (normally $20). Game tokens are also available for $3 each.

Early-bird tickets will be available online until Thursday 5 November. Tickets and game tokens can also be purchased from the Ticket Booth in the lower playground on the day.
