Take a float down the Lazy River, catch waves at The Break family wave pool, or test your courage on eight thrilling water slides. Little adventurers can cool off at Typhoon Island, while parents relax in the warm rock pools.

Following the Splash reopening weekend, Oasis Springs Water Park will remain open through to April. There’s no better way to kick off a summer of family adventures than with a splash-tastic day at Gumbuya World.

Discover Gumbuya World

Gumbuya World is a unique amusement park that combines water, wildlife, and theme park attractions across 430 acres of beautiful bushland. The park is divided into four main areas: Oasis Springs, Wildlife Trail, Oz Adventure, and Outback Explorers.

Wildlife Trail

Feathered, furry or fanged, there are more than 50 species of amazing animals waiting to meet you on the Wildlife Trail. Catch a free Ranger Talk to learn more about these incredible creatures and, for a truly unforgettable experience, book an Animal Close Encounter to get up close and personal with koalas, dingos, pythons and more!

Oz Adventure

You don’t need to get wet to go for a ride. There’s a world of fun under the gums when you spin out at Oz Adventure thrill-ride zone, including the two biggest rollercoasters in Victoria that will get your adrenaline pumping!

Outback Explorers

A whole world of adventure for smaller thrill-seekers! Packed with pirate ships, giant berries, big-rig trucks and a kid's playground, the Outback Explorers family precinct ensures all the action is just the right size.

Oasis Springs

Whether you’re taking the plunge on epic water slides, soaking in the rays with a drift along the 300-metre Lazy River,  getting deliriously drenched on Typhoon Island or relaxing in the heated family wave pool, Oasis Springs is bursting with fantastic fun. To add a splash of style to your day, book a luxury cabana!
