AQWA was incredible! Wife and I had no been for years since we first starting dating and this time we bought our boy for his first birthday and it did not disappoint. Had a great family day out. Good good was a bonus as we had lunch at AQWA too. We will be back.
Great day with the kids, busy during school holidays,
It was a great day with the kids. They loved the touch pool. We went during school holidays, which we probably won’t go during school holidays again, as it was quite busy and loud, but still a great time. Shop on the way out needs more room but still manageable
