Ferny Grove Aqua Park

Perfect spot if you’ve got littlies under school age and want to keep them cool without the chaos of a public pool. The water features — think sprinklers, jets, bucket drops — are genuinely well set up for the under-6 crowd, and the shade trees actually do their job, which isn’t something you can say about every water park in southeast Queensland. Pack a picnic because there’s plenty of space to spread out, and the food vans that roll through mean you’re not stuck if you forget snacks. Locals know to get here early on weekends before it fills up with half of Keperra.
