Splash under the stars at Summer Nights

FOR the very first time, Adventure Park Geelong will open its gates in the evenings for Summer Nights.

Summer Nights is a series of twilight events where families can splash under the stars in December and January.

Guests will be able to ride all the awesome water rides, action rides, family rides and amusements the park is famous for and enjoy live music and kids movies on the outdoor cinema on selected Friday nights in summer.

The epic Tornado waterslide, the biggest, most thrilling and only one of its kind in the state, is sure to be a feature attraction with an added level of extreme, riding in the dark.

Adventure Park’s managing director Leanne Salmon said they were excited to offer evening entertainment for local parents and holidaymakers to make the most of the summer school holidays.

“We wanted to create something our own children would love that we could share with the community,” Ms Salmon said.

“We’ve wanted to open the park for night events for a long time, but we also wanted to make sure we’ve taken every step to ensure that the events are done right.”

Summer Nights will be offered as separate ticketed events that include evening admission to the park, access to all open rides and movies on the outdoor cinema.

Children’s movies will be playing on the outdoor cinema (movie titles TBC) and family-friendly live music will add to the summer evening vibe. Mum and dad can enjoy beer, wine and frozen daiquiris available for purchase from the licensed bar while enjoying live music on the deck. No eskies, alcohol or commercial food to be brought into the park.

Adventure Park Summer Nights are on Fridays on December 7, December 28, January 4, January 11 and January 18 between 6.30pm and 10pm.

Entry is $27 for General Admission (guests 120cm tall and over), $17 for Junior Admission (guests 90cm to 120cm tall) and Children under 90cm tall are free.
