Exploring Kediri Waterpark
Before exploring Kediri Waterpark, tourists should consider learning the history as well. According to the keepers, the inauguration was in 2014 and it was closed for a while in 2016 due to a significant renovation. The site reopened in 2017 and turned into the biggest waterpark in East Java Province. Due to the wide size, it is able to accommodate lots of tourists for sure (even during weekends and holidays).
Once entering the site, tourists are allowed to try all facilities and swimming pools. For kids, though, they must choose the shallow pool. Thus, parents should supervise their kids well. For the information, a swimming pool that comes with the depth of only 20-60 cm is available there! This kiddy pond also features unique ornaments or statues, which are located by a waterslide. As an alternative, it is recommended to play in the water canal. Visitors can also rent a lifebuoy or float tires for a more comfortable experience. Have no worries. The rent fee is affordable.
The best thing to do in Kediri Waterpark is indeed to try the biggest waterslide. It even takes some time to reach the starting point up there. Despite the excellent safety, perhaps only adults are brave enough to try it. It is both long and tall, after all. What is next? After enjoying swimming and sliding, tourists should reach the canteen or eatery for buying foods and drinks. These come at a cheap price, as well, so don’t worry.
