While on a working holiday for 2 months in Hervey Bay, we visited Wetside numerous times. They have a great babies/ toddlers area separate from the other water play equipment. Their main water play area is fantastic, from a big tipping bucket to water jets, kids loved it. Great walk around deck too full of interesting educational facts. Cafe was... More

My family and I had a lovely afternoon hanging out and cooling off at WetSide in Hervey Bay. Entry is free and all facilities are provided for families - adults and kids. We spent just over an hour at WetSide, but it would be easy to spend a couple of hours there with family and friends. More
