Highlights
Outing Highlights
Slides for every appetite: Jungle Adventure to the Flume of Doom
More than 200 metres of slides stretch through the complex. Ride the open‑top Jungle Adventure for scenery and twists, plunge into the enclosed Serpent, blast down the Shotgun at high speed, or team up for the partner tube Flume of Doom—lights‑out thrills and heavy bumps included.
Lilly Pads, Wading Lagoon and a Kids Area
A shallow wading lagoon and the Lilly Pads rope challenge offer lower‑impact play, while a Kids Area with easy slides, dump buckets and mushroom features is designed for children six years and under.
Family days and party bookings
The centre advertises party packages and reserved spaces for groups, making the park a common choice for birthdays and group events rather than solo lap swimming sessions.
What the day feels like
What a day here feels like
A day pass at Chermside is a rollicking cycle of stair climbs, rapid descents and splashdowns: alternating high‑adrenaline rides—enclosed tunnels and speed chutes—with calmer open slides and shallow water play for younger kids. The site is geared toward family use, group bookings and holiday‑time visits rather than lap swimming.
