The Big Huge Mega Waterslide Park
The crown jewel of the resort? The enormous waterpark that's so impressive it has 3 adjectives in its name! We're talking 13 waterslides, splash zones, and pools that are basically made for non-stop fun. Your kids will be in their element, racing down slides, while you can either dive in for a swim yourself or chill on a poolside lounger.
Family tip: The resort heats the pools in winter, so the fun doesn't stop, even if the weather cools down (a rarity in Queensland!).
So Much More Than a Waterpark
When you need a break from the pool, the resort has loads of other family-friendly activities to keep the energy going. Think mini-golf, tennis, outdoor movies, and even a new animal park where kids can make some furry friends. And if you've got toddlers in tow, the playgrounds and jumping pillows will be a massive hit.
Parent tip: Want some solo time? The resort offers a Kids Craft Club every Saturday and 3 times a week during school holidays, giving you a few guilt-free hours to relax by the pool or hit up the spa.
Explore the Whitsundays
The fun doesn't stop at the resort. Being in Airlie Beach means you're right at the gateway to the stunning Whitsunday Islands, and you can organise your tours directly from the resort! Sign up for a family-friendly day trip to Whitehaven Beach or take a boat ride out to the Great Barrier Reef—snorkelling and reef tours are guaranteed to make some lasting family memories.
Extra tip: Book a boat tour early to secure your spot. You definitely don't want to miss exploring one of the world's most beautiful natural wonders.
Accommodations
The accommodation options range from cute cabins to super-spacious villas, perfect for families of any size. For camping and caravanning families, there are powered slab and grass sites and a communal camp kitchen.
Eating at the Resort
BIG4 Adventure Whitsunday Resort has its own café and convenience store, so grabbing snacks or quick meals is super easy. And if you're keen on a BBQ or home-cooked dinner, each villa has a fully equipped kitchen, or you can use the BBQ areas scattered around the park for some good old-fashioned outdoor dining.
Extra tip: Airlie Beach town centre is just a short drive away if you want to mix it up with a meal out.
