I’ve always loved going there ever since I was a kid cause there’s just so much to do .
My favourite part of my experience this weekend was a fellow staff member named benjamin ( I’m not sure how to spell it ) he was working at the bumper boats, he’s the reason we went on the ride SO much times ! If it wasn’t for benjamin we probably wouldn’t have gone on that ride so many times .
Fun-Filled Day Out Worth Every Dollar – Splash Planet, Hastings
Splash Planet offers excellent value for money and is absolutely worth the $35 entry fee. With a wide range of attractions and activities, there is more than enough to keep everyone entertained for the entire day. From pools to rides, there’s something for all ages, making it a great destination for families, groups, and celebrations.
The staff were friendly, approachable, and helpful throughout our visit, which really added to the positive experience. The pools were enjoyable and well maintained. While the main toilets were very busy and not as well presented due to the number of visitors, there were other toilet facilities on-site that were super clean, which we appreciated.
Food prices were reasonable and not overpriced, and there were plenty of picnic tables available, making it easy to relax or bring your own food. The overall atmosphere was fun, lively, and well organised despite how busy it was.
Splash Planet is an excellent place to celebrate special occasions. We held our Christmas party here and absolutely loved it. Highly recommended for a fun, memorable day out in Hastings. 🎄💦
