Splash into summer at Gumbuya World

Gumbuya World is the place to be this summer.

The summer fun is heating up at Victoria’s newest theme park, so now’s the time to get along and see what everyone’s been buzzing about.

With four magical worlds to explore, Gumbuya World delivers the ultimate family holiday in a single day. And all in one great value ticket!

Gumbuya’s state-of-the-art water park Oasis Springs is the perfect way to cool down as the thermometer rises. Take the plunge on epic water slides, get deliriously drenched on the aquatic jungle gym Typhoon Island, or soak up the rays on a relaxing drift along the 180 metre Lazy River.

With the water heated to a perfect 26 degrees, every day is awesome aquatic fun.

Or you can journey into the beautiful natural wilderness to meet all kinds of amazing animals on the Wildlife Trail.

More than 50 species call Gumbuya World home – from kangaroos, koalas and dingoes to the mind-boggling creepy-crawlies who dwell in the Critter Cave.

For an unforgettable experience, why not book an Animal Close Encounter to go inside the enclosures and get one-on-one with these incredible creatures. Anyone game to pat a python?

There are also heaps of awesome rides for thrill-seekers young and old to spin out on at Oz Adventure and Outback Explorers. Whether you’re flying sky-high on the Giant Tree Swing, enjoying the bumper car chaos of the Desert Derby or delighting in Berry Twirl (a super-sweet spin on everyone’s favourite Teacups ride), there’s fun to suit every speed.

And if you think Gumbuya World is magical by day, you should see it after dark! On Friday 14 December, you can join the festivities at Gumbuya World’s hit pool party under the stars, Oasis Nights. Chill out with a relaxing twilight session to wind down your week while the kids go wild on the water slides and explore the wonders of Oasis Springs in the golden sunset. There’s a licensed bar, delicious dinner options and live entertainment to help you groove through the night.

With so much to do, there’s no end to the family fun on offer at Gumbuya World.

Whether it’s your first time or a return visit, you’ll create magical memories that you and the kids will cherish for years to come.

That also makes Gumbuya World a perfect venue for your Christmas group function. They’re taking bookings now, so don’t delay! Annual passes and gift cards are also available, and make great Christmas presents.

Gumbuya World is located only 50 minutes from Melbourne, and open from 10am – 5pm every day in December (except Christmas Day).

It’s the vision of a group of Victorian entrepreneurs consisting of Gerry Ryan, Wal Pisciotta, Adam Campbell, Brett Murray, and Ray and Ron Weinzierl, who wanted to reimagine the tourist favourite they enjoyed with their families when they were younger, and create a legacy of fun and imagination for future generations.
