Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Our family of four had the most amazing time at Winter Glow. Opened 3.30pm - 8.30pm, entry was smooth and from the moment you stroll in, it’s all about the fun. We got through so much in a few short hours, from playing mini golf to the excitement of the rollercoaster, we toasted marshmallows around the fire and enjoyed the fire twirling and our kids loved decorating the cookies, there really is something for everyone. The millions of lights and walking around the lake taking it all in is simply spectacular. Well done Adventure Park, we had the best time.

We visited as a large group (6 adults and 6 kids aged 2-12). We went in a Friday and we’re there for the full 7 hours.
We didn’t get a chance to do the mini golf or paddle boats.
Lines were quick and waited probably 15 minutes at most for tube water rides.
We had a cabana - would recommend. We took our own drinks to put in the fridge and snacks. It was a great base for the adults and older kids.
We had lunch there, limited options on a Friday but there were burgers, pizza, hotdogs, hot chips and sandwiches.
It was about $18 for a burger combo with hot chips and drinks.
The chicken burgers were nice.
Kids had an ice-cream as well.
We would definitely return.

I emailed this company, no response, I drove 90 minutes to take my 3 grandchildren to this theme park for there birthdays it was well set up but impossible with all the water slides more then 1 hour wait, they let that many people in it’s ridiculous, they charge a premium price I wouldn’t recommend total waste of time my grandchildren spent all day in lines that were endless.

Hi Patriciah
We're very sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your visit.
Hot days over the summer school holidays are our busiest time, and some wait times for rides can be expected.
We recommend visiting outside of these busy times for the best access to rides and experience.

Things have changed a bit since I was last there, but overall we all had a lot of fun. Spent the entire opening hours there! And the two newer slides are well worth it, the lines appeared long but went quite fast! A few things to point out:
1. The man that greeted the guests in line at the entrance was great! He was funny and welcoming. He made sure my boys were with an adult (I think he thought someone had just dropped them off). He also checked our cooler bag for any glass. I think he should have asked if we have tickets already because you have to buy tickets before you line up. Lucky we figured this out by ourselves!
2. At the end of the day, close to closing; years ago there used to be an announcement to leave but now there doesn't seem to be that, the rides just close. I prefer the announcement, so you are aware that you need to pack up and leave and that the rides have stopped.
3. There really needs to be more for older kids to do. Mine are 15, 11 and 9 and even though they could all finally go on every ride due to their height, there really is limited big rides (mostly only for little ones). They still had a ball and found things to do but really there isn't much for that age group.
Suggestion: Employ a comedian to greet people in the line in the mornings. Would be funny to have someone do funny things and mingle in the crowd (like they do in America at their theme parks when the crowd is waiting for a show to start).

It was completely over sold. Extraordinary lines for water slides. Never again. No point paying $200 for a family to spend hours in lines.

Very expensive for Little activities. Not enough shade or places to sit. Needs more water play for children 6 and up. Very unfriendly staff. Should be able to buy things without having to use a card

Was terrible... smelt horrible and the lines were ridiculous. They told us to book in advance to make sure we didn't miss out yet were still selling tickets at the door on the day of arrival. The whole place is a scam of money and not worth it! From being there @10:30am - 2:30pm we got on a total of.... 3 rides! for the hours wait for one lap of the lazy river.... This place has gone down hill and its really overpopulated due to obvious overpopulation in the world however you would think they could call it at capacity but they definitely pushed it to get their money's worth. Day was in shambles.... I recommend Gumbaya World for price and value!!

We are family of 2 adults, one toddler 95cm and one infant. We have Seasonal passes. It's a total waste of money. There is not much to enjoy. Water is not heated and my toddler shivers every time even on the hottest day. Few Indian adult men opened the river safety gate and dived into river. I saved a toddler running after them and getting drowned on this boxing day. Super crowded, rides get super hot. Aeroplane ride's safety belt is super easy to loosen which can cause accidents. Not enough rides nothing much to enjoy. Super hot venue. No shady cool place for mothers who breastfeed and have prams. I would call it waste of money.

PS If you're coming from Melbourne I would leave very early and get there well before it opens as the entry que is well over 1 hour on a hot peak day. Buy your tickets online if you can, that que is often shorter and moves faster.
Hi I was wondering how deep is the lazy river

Hi I was wondering if the water on the slides etc is warm? or you wouldn't go on a cold day as the water is cold?
thanks

Its not warmed, but it also wasn't ice-chill either. Depends on the weather that you're there in. In half decent weather (25+oC) and after the first ride you won't notice it.
