Whether you want to shoot down a slippery dip or float down a river, here\u2019s our pick of water parks to visit in 2016.<\/p>\n<h2>Wet\u2019n\u2019Wild, Sydney, Australia<\/h2>\n<p>Australia\u2019s newest theme park has been a big success, bringing crowds far and wide to Sydney\u2019s west since re-opening two years ago. Based on the Gold Coast theme park of the same name, Wet\u2019n\u2019Wild Sydney is full of fun for big and little kids. There\u2019s more than 40 slides and water adventure activities, including the hair raising T5, which has a 15 metre drop. There\u2019s a half pipe, the Tropical Cyclone, Tantrum and 360Rush \u2013 as each name suggests, all designed for a thrill. Little ones will love Wet\u2019n\u2019Wild Junior, with mini waterslides and splash zones. For something a bit different, hit the park for After Dark, when the lights come on and the rides keep going. Check into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.co.nz\/Sydney-Hotels-Atura-Blacktown.h6415402.Hotel-Information?brandcid=blog.listopedia.waterparks_140116\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Atura Blacktown<\/a> just around the corner.<\/p>\n<h2>Aquaventure Waterpark, Dubai<\/h2>\n<p>Escaping the heat in Dubai doesn\u2019t have to involve air conditioning. Atlantis The Palm is home to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.co.nz\/things-to-do\/aquaventure-waterpark-at-atlantis-the-palm-admission-tickets.a167214.activity-details?brandcid=blog.listopedia.waterparks_140116\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Aquaventure<\/a>, a 42 acre water park. Home to two kilometres of rapids and waterways you can ride, and plenty of waterslides, it\u2019s a great day out. If you\u2019re feeling brave, take on \u201cThe Plunge\u201d, which drops you down 20 metres before shooting through a shark tank. You are inside a tube inside the tank, but it\u2019s still scary stuff. Go at a slower pace in \u201cShark Attack\u201d, where you\u2019ll float through the same shark tank on a floatie \u2013\u00a0again through a glass tunnel.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wild about water parks?
