Playing at the Aqua Play
Aqua Play contains various interesting features in the pool. They are all safe and suitable for children. Due to its shallow depth, anyone can play here safely even though you will still have to watch your children carefully. One of the attractions of Aqua Play is the Giant Bucket. This giant bucket filled with water that will spill to the pool from time to time. Usually, some visitors will deliberately stand underneath the bucket to get a splash of water that reaches 600 litres at a time.
Test your Courage in the Slide Tube
Tube Slide is a very high and long slide. You can go up to the top then slide down to the bottom of the pool because it can go really fast, depending on your position and your weight. Ride the float provided to slide, or you can also slide down the tube without the float. Tube Slide is the most used feature in the Wave Pondok Indah Waterpark and is always packed with many people. Come early, so you don't have to wait in line for too long and can enjoy an exciting sliding experience.
Crashing Waves in the Wave Pool
The Wave Pool is a little different from the Flow River, which will be discussed below. This pool is quite wide and can hold a lot of people. It has a pretty fast rising and falling wave, which makes it feels like a real ocean wave. Ride your float and swim to the middle of the pool to enjoy the swift wave. However, you should be careful if you are with a child in this pool since the wave can easily pull them down.
Relaxing at the Lazy River
