Wild Wild Wet Singapore

Some slightly more hair-raising slides are the ‘Slide Up’ that looks like a huge plastic half-pipe on water, the ‘Torpedo’ 18-metre-high free-fall slide that lets you reach speeds of up to 70 km/hour, and ‘The Water Works’, which is a more traditional flume style ride the plunges you into a pool of water below.

Away from the major slides, parents with younger children can enjoy more laid-back attractions such as ‘Professors Playground’ – full of small slides, paddling pools, water cannons and fountains. There is more of the same thing over at the ‘Yippie!’ area. Before you leave, don’t forget to ease those tired legs and shoulders at the parents’ favourite ‘Jacuzzi’.

Do note Wild Wild Wet’s slightly unusual operating hours of 1pm to 7pm in the week and 10am to 7pm on the weekends. Proper swimming attire is required for all rides, although onsite shops are at hand if you forget your trunks or a towel. There is also onsite parking and a small selection of cafes and restaurants for when you’re feeling peckish.

The waterpark is at Downtown East near Changi Airport. There is a full list of ticket and package details available, although there’s no need to book tickets in advance as you can buy them at the door.
