aqualink
Aqualink, Box Hill: Mamma’s kids are happiest in the water, and Aqualink’s splash zones deliver plenty of fun! The area is split into three sections: a shallow toddler pool with bubblers and a beach-style entry, a slightly deeper leisure pool perfect for preschoolers, and the big highlight—the splash pad. Here, cascading water surrounds a stairwell leading to a slide that empties into a pool below. Kids over 5 can play solo, while younger ones ride with an adult. The splash pad is wide, gentle, and fun for all ages. During school holidays, the facility can be busy with lessons, but bigger kids can also enjoy diving boards and a Tarzan rope in the afternoons—check the website for availability.
