Overview

Jamberoo Action Park is New South Wales' largest family-owned and operated water theme park, situated in the Illawarra region. The park features high-thrill water attractions including the Perfect Storm, a multi-award-winning funnel slide, and the Taipan, a family-focused raft ride. Guests can access the mountain landscape via the Chairlift, which provides elevated views of the park and surrounding valley. The facility includes a purpose-built mini-golf course integrated into the park grounds. Many attractions utilize the natural topography of the site to enhance speed and ride length. It is a seasonal attraction that emphasizes water-based recreation during warmer months. The park occupies a large, landscaped property designed to accommodate high-volume summer crowds.

Insider tips

Rent a locker early in the day to secure your belongings, as they are located near the main entrance.

Wear water-appropriate footwear like thongs or sandals, as surfaces can become very hot in the summer sun.

Plan to visit on a weekday to significantly reduce wait times for the popular water slides.

What to avoid

Avoid visiting on public holidays or weekends in January, as these are the peak periods for queue times.

Good to know
