The one significant good thing of our D’Resort staycation was the complimentary admission to Wild Wild Wet park. The price of the stay itself was $481, and the dollar value for daily admission over the four days would had been $236 already. The short version of our experience at this park is that it’s larger, newer and better equipped than Legoland Malaysia’s Water Park, but still plenty of areas for improvement.<\/p>\n

And our comments:<\/p>\n

The park’s operating hours during school holidays is 10:00AM to 7PM, and we got to the park 10 minutes after opening hour. Check-in was easy, and though we already had our tickets, there were also no queues to speak of. A PDF map is available here<\/a> too.<\/p>\n

We stayed for about 2 hours, and possibly because it was a weekday albeit also a school holiday, the park didn’t feel crowded.<\/p>\n

There were plenty of crew on station to keep an eye on things.<\/p>\n

We tried out just a couple of rides and areas, since our two kids aren’t exactly thrill seekers yet, and we had to accompany them every where. And:<\/p>\n

The 335m long Shiok River<\/strong> was fairly gentle and safe for three year olds in tubes. And if that wasn’t reassuring enough, every 15-20 meters or so stood a park crew equipped with life buoys.<\/p>\n

Hannah was really looking forward to the white water rafting-styled Ular-Lah<\/strong> ride. And on the way down, she was screaming her head off in terror LOL.<\/p>\n

The four floor high Slide Up<\/strong> ride looked pretty scary, judging from the number of screams we heard each time a group went down. We’ll try this one when the kids are – much – older!<\/p>\n

The Professor’s Playground<\/strong> is designed for kids, but the large water bucket that was filled and emptied every couple minutes was a big hit for everyone – especially adults.<\/p>\n

Our two children spent the most time at Kid’s Zone<\/strong> and Splash Play<\/strong>. They must have gone up and down the children slides at least several dozens of times over the hour they spent in this area alone.<\/p>\n

All in; the park is good for half a day visit. Given the relatively attractive admission pricing for NTUC Members, we just might make visiting this park a frequent activity!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
