Even though children under 1.2 metres of height are not permitted to enter – there is a little children’s play area where they can splash around and enjoy some little tunnels, slides and monkey bar- like equipment to frivol in.
If you are someone close to a daredevil – check out the Leap of Faith which is a 27.5-metre ride through a clear tube where you are inches away from sharks. Furthermore, there is a zip line designed to transport you across the park with the best views ever. Access to the park is complimentary for guests at Atlantis – which visitors need to pay a little fee.
